Something that has been top of mind for me lately is seasons of change – especially as I recently came back from my Ascend retreat. This retreat experience was a littttttttle different because I had my 5 month old daughter in tow. While it definitely wasn’t smooth sailing the whole time (I mean…babies and kids are pretty unpredictable!), it was a full circle moment for me as a mom who gets to do meaningful work that I truly LOVE. I was also surrounded by other incredible ladies cheering me on and chasing after their own passions and dreams. Honestly, I was reminded that this process can be quite beautiful when we give ourselves permission to grow and evolve.


In today’s episode, I want to talk about seasons of change, and what happens as we continue piling on more duties, goals, responsibilities, etc., to our (already) overflowing plates. Our plates can be abundantly full of things we love and enjoy, but when we continue adding without removing anything, we start to feel exhausted, drained, and ultimately, like we’re not ‘enough’. So many of us fall into the trap of chasing achievement and praise, and we think that if we choose to shift our priorities and give something up along the way, we’ll be deemed a failure. I’m here to tell you that this is NOT the case – it’s totally okay to let things go that are no longer serving us. I’ve experienced this firsthand, but I’ve gotten REALLY good at being extremely intentional with my priorities, and honoring my energy in what has been a season full of unexpected twists and turns.


If there’s anything this past year has taught me, it’s that there are seasons to ‘do’ and try new things, and there are seasons to be still, be quiet, and just nurture yourself right where you are. Whatever season you’re in, I encourage you to simply embrace it for what it is. Ultimately, YOU have the power to create a reality that you desire, friend, and that is pretty extraordinary!


In this episode about seasons of change, we cover:

  • What happens when you continue adding ‘more more more’ to your already overflowing plate

  • Taking the time to inventory what’s actually on your ‘plate’, and if it’s something that belongs there (or doesn’t)

  • Focusing on work that really lights you up and serves you well in your current season

  • My recent experience with bringing my 5 month old to the Ascend retreat + my realization surrounding the impact and value I still provided for the women there

  • Getting purposeful about your priorities + honoring your energy during times of chaos and uncertainty

  • Understanding that you have more power over your reality and your circumstances than you may think
