Hi there,

As a life coach, I’ve noticed a recurring theme lately that I believe many of us can relate to: timing, expectations, and the stress that comes from feeling “behind.”

Maybe these thoughts sound familiar:

“I can’t believe it’s already mid-April. I had big goals for this year, and now I feel off track.”

“Health challenges set me back, and now I feel discouraged about my progress.”

“Is it too late to hit reset? Can May 1 be the new January 1?”

Here’s what I want you to hear today: You’re not behind. You’re on your own timeline. 🌱


🌸 Give Yourself the Gift of Self-Compassion

As an ICF certified coach, I believe deeply in the importance of self-compassion when life doesn’t go as planned. Your personal growth and career growth aren’t linear—and that’s okay.

Think of a Christmas Cactus blooming in Austin. It doesn’t follow a strict schedule. It blossoms when it’s ready. And so do we.


🧭 Refocus with Reflection

When we stop to reflect on what’s happening right now, we unlock clarity, creativity, and momentum. Consider taking a few minutes to explore these journal prompts:

  • What’s going on for me right now? (What’s my inner weather?)
  • What am I feeling called to do this season?
  • What’s something I’m struggling with now that I’d love to shift in six months?
  • What’s one small step I can take to support this change?

🌟 Support for Your Growth

You don’t have to navigate this season alone. As a life coach, I’m here to help you rediscover your direction, strengthen your mindset, and take intentional steps forward. Whether you’re exploring career growth or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, coaching offers powerful support.

I offer free discovery sessions—let’s talk about how we can work together to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
