Dear Reader,
Last year, this time, I was standing at my desk holding a hard drive I'd just bought. A mechanic's bill was weighing on my mind and a broken dryer kept side-eyeing me every time I walked past it. Yet I felt more settled than I had in a long time.
Not because the timing was perfect. It wasn't. But because I was finally done waiting for it to be.
That hard drive had been sitting in my online cart for months. I needed it to get back to creating YouTube videos, but something always kept coming up. I’d tell myself that I'd buy it once things settled down. Once the car was sorted. Once the bills cleared.
Then this Marie Forleo quote found me:
"You have everything that you need to answer the call of your soul."
I used to think that quotations like these meant: wait. Prepare more. Find the right people first. Build the right network, then begin.
But here's what I've learned since 2020: life rarely settles.
There is always a reason to wait.
And the longer you wait, the more you drift from yourself.
What I've found instead: when you start showing up aligned, the right people begin to find you. Your network builds itself around the signal you put out. But the signal has to come first.
Alignment isn’t a destination. It's the choices you make in the middle of the mess. Start from where you are, and the path, the right people, your people, will organise around you.
Today’s Action: Name one thing your soul has been nudging you toward. Don’t plan it. Just name it.
True success isn't about doing more. It's about doing what aligns.
Nowhere is that clearer than in midlife. The season you're in right now isn't asking you to push harder. It's asking you to pay attention.
When I purchased that hard drive Reader, I wasn’t just purchasing a tool. I was investing in myself. In my voice. And that signal, had ripple effects.
I’ll be talking more about this on Tuesday and I'd love for you to be there.
On Tuesday 5th May at 5PM EST, I'm going live on LinkedIn, talking about "Turning Burnout into Your Breakthrough during Peri/Menopause."
It’s free to attend and everyone who joins will receive a special gift from me at the end.
"Sarina's coaching gave me the tools to make a 3-year dream a reality. She helped me clarify the issues and persisted through my blocks and inner resistance until the path was totally cleared." - Coaching Client
For the last 25 years, I've helped women move from performance back to themselves.
So if you're a woman who's feeling the pull of something more aligned...
And you’re ready to stop waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect network, the perfect version of yourself...
​Join me live this Tuesday on LinkedIn — it's free.
I hope this email leaves you feeling a little more settled than before you opened it, Reader.
Best Wishes,
Sarina
