Weekly insights for women who are ready to feel grounded, regulated, and resourced.
Reading time: 3 minutes
This week's hot topic π₯
This week we're talking about denial.
Hey Reader
I want to gently call something out that I hear constantly from the women I work with. In fact I caught myself saying it recently too.
After this project. After this quarter. After the move, the appraisal, the kids go back to school, January, summer, this particularly brutal period that will definitely ease up soon.
I have been saying versions of this myself for longer than I want to admit.
Here is what I know to be true: the quiet quarter doesn't come. Not because life is cruel, but because for women like us there is always something. The diary fills back up. The next thing arrives before the last one has finished. And we keep deferring the thing that would actually help because the timing is never quite right.
The energy you are waiting to have is not waiting on the other side of a calmer season. It is what the work itself gives you. You are waiting for a resource that the process builds.
I am not going to tell you to put your oxygen mask on first. You have heard that. It hasn't helped. And honestly it's annoying.
I will just ask you this though: how long have you been saying after this?
If the answer is longer than one quarter, that is worth paying attention to.
A Pathfinder call is 15 minutes. It is free. It is not a sales pitch disguised as a conversation - it is an honest look at where you are and what might actually help. A lot of women tell me afterwards that just naming it out loud to someone who understands shifted something.
Book one below when you are ready.
