Hi Reader,

Life Doesn’t Just Happen to You…

Or Does It?

Think about the last time you were stuck in that headspace where everything felt out of your control.
​
​Life was just happening to you. Heavy. Passive. Waiting.

The reset moment
​​
I was having a day like this recently, funky, agitated, weighed down.
​
In an act of defiance against my sour mood (and my to-do list), I went in the hot tub. I knew it would feel good, but it was a wise choice for a bigger reason.
​
I made a conscious decision: I didn’t want to, and didn’t have to, stay in this funk.

Permission to just do something that felt good made me feel lighter, more open, happier.
​
Call it coincidence or an energy shift, but almost on cue a friend reached out with a last-minute dinner invite. It was if I was being rewarded for taking action (even if that action was sitting in hot bubbly water!)

Sometimes it really is that simple, a walk, a shower, a moment of fresh air.

Other times, the heaviness doesn’t lift so easily. That’s when it takes a mindset reframe: noticing the story you’re in, and choosing a different way to participate.

When we do that, we move from passive to active. From closed to open. And that shift doesn’t just change how we feel—it changes what shows up around us, or at the very least how we interact with it.

Life isn’t just happening to you.

It’s happening with you, when you choose to participate.

​

What’s your version of a “hot tub moment”? ​ ⏱️ A walk around the block ⏱️ Rage-singing to Alanis or Olivia ⏱️ A margarita…mocktail or not ⏱️ Escaping into a romantasy ⏱️ Something else? ​ Have you ever experienced a shift once you changed your energy? ​

If the energy around you feels stuck and you can’t figure out how to unstick yourself, you’re not alone.
​
​That’s exactly the work I do with clients, helping them shift perspective, reframe the stuck places, and find ways to move forward that feel natural and doable.

If that resonates, let’s set up a time for a quick chat.

Until next week,
