One theme keeps showing up in conversation after conversation: how much of life we step over.

The difficult things, certainly.

Disappointment.
Uncertainty.
Grief.
Discomfort.

But also the beautiful things.

The joy.
The relief.
The moments of connection.
The small victories we barely pause long enough to celebrate before moving on to the next thing.

So often we're busy fixing, planning, doing, and moving that we miss what our experience has to offer.

Over the next two weeks, I'll be hosting two free Insight Timer events exploring what happens when we stop moving past our experience and create space for exactly what's here, right now.

✨ MAKING SPACE FOR WHAT IS

So much of life gets rushed past, pushed down, or stepped over altogether: joy, grief, disappointment, excitement, uncertainty, and everything in between. In this practical meditation and conversation, we'll explore what happens when we stop moving past our experience and create space for exactly what's here, right now.

I'll also be hosting The Reset this Sunday at 10:00 AM CST. A monthly community meditation where we gather to pause, reflect, reconnect, and remember that we're not doing this whole being human thing alone.

A few weeks ago, I accidentally ended up on Broadway in Nashville.

And if you know me, you know that’s… not usually where I voluntarily choose to spend a Friday evening 😆

Think Bourbon Street.
Times Square.
Bachelorette parties.
$20 parking if you’re lucky. Usually more like $40 😆
Beautiful chaos.

I was supposed to be meeting someone for a work cocktail, only to realize (thanks to some kind of spectacular calendar integration kerfuffle) that I was standing there solo.

Second schedule mishap of the day, by the way.

Earlier, a lunch meeting somehow ended up on two completely different times despite what seemed like a very clear confirmation 😆. 1pm to one of us accidently registered as 11 to the other.

So there was definitely a version of this evening where frustration could have taken over.

And honestly, at first, it started to.

What is with today? 😆
Why am I paying to park on Broadway for a meeting that isn’t happening?
I could absolutely huff and leave right now.

But one of the things I teach - and actively practice - through the Seven Levels of Effectiveness® is this:

The moment we become aware of the state we’re in, we regain choice.

And somewhere between the frustration and the urge to leave, another thought showed up:

Okay… but what else might be possible here?
What if I could turn this moment into something more?

So instead of storming off (not exactly my style, but I was tempted), I stayed.

Not for hours.
Just for a bit.

Long enough to order a Rhône blend from France – coincidentally from the same region I had just returned from – and what may have been one of the most delectable hamachi dishes I’ve had in a very long time.

I asked the bartender for paper to write on and got handed an actual order pad 😆

So I started journaling.
Listening to the music.
Talking with the bartender, who complimented my earrings and somehow turned a random evening into a genuinely lovely moment of connection.

And somewhere along the way, the whole experience shifted.

I left feeling filled up instead of drained.
Creative instead of irritated.
Connected instead of frustrated with the world.

Nothing about the external circumstances changed.

But my experience of them completely did.

And honestly, I think that’s how these shifts often happen.

Not in giant life-altering moments.

But in tiny pivot points where we decide whether frustration gets to dictate the next hour… or whether we want to consciously create something different.

Because those moments ripple.

A frustrated state influences the email you send next.
The conversation you have next.
The energy you bring home next.

And on the flip side?

So does presence.
So does curiosity.
So does choosing to engage with life instead of immediately resisting it.

Anyway.

Apparently Broadway, a Rhône blend, an order pad, and an unexpectedly perfect Hamachi dish had something to teach me 😆

Have you ever had those moments where you’re completely exhausted… and then suddenly get a second wind?

For a long time, when that happened to me, my instinct was:

Amazing. We ride at dawn. 😆

Truly.

I would squeeze every last drop out of that energy before collapsing into bed barely able to see straight anymore.

And in the moment, it felt productive.

Exciting even.

Like suddenly having access to this fresh burst of creativity, momentum, life force, whatever you want to call it.

But over time, I realized something:

That second wind usually wasn’t a full refill.

It was reserve energy.

And instead of using it wisely, I was treating it like an invitation to drain myself all over again.

So while it felt like I was gaining momentum…

I was often digging the recovery hole deeper.

These days, I try to relate to those moments differently.

I notice the energy.
I might ride a little of it (because let’s be honest, sometimes inspiration shows up at wildly inconvenient times 😉).

But I’m much more committed to letting the tank actually refill.

Because there’s a difference between accessing emergency fuel and building sustainable energy.

And I think a lot of high performers get rewarded for confusing the two.

Short term, overriding ourselves can feel productive.

Long term, it’s often what leaves people depleted, disconnected, exhausted, and wondering how they got there in the first place.

Still learning this one in real time.

Listen with your eyes.

Most Thursday mornings, I pull myself out of bed to get to at 7am.

If you know me, you know I’d love to say I’m a 4:30am or even 5:30am person. I’m not. So showing up at 7am (or shortly after 😉) is a real commitment.

But the women, the community, and the speakers make it worth it every time.

One of my recent favorites was . She spoke on a number of things, but what stayed with me was a story.

Her three-year-old daughter came in and said, “Mom, I want to talk.”

She kept working. “I’m here. I’m listening.”

Again: “Mom, I want to talk.”

“I’m here. I’m listening.”

And then her daughter gently took her face in her hands and said:

“Listen with your eyes.”

That landed.

Because it put words to something I try to practice. Something that takes real intention.

When we listen with our eyes, people feel it.

Maya Angelou said, people don’t remember what you say, they remember how you made them feel.

And you can feel the difference immediately.

When someone is actually with you.

And when they’re not.

It changes the interaction.

Even in a room full of people. Even when you’re the one speaking.

There are moments where you can feel when someone is really with you. And moments when they’re not.

People know the difference.

Today, just notice.

What happens when you listen with your eyes?

Most people don’t realize how much pressure is shaping them in real time.

How they communicate.
How they lead.
How they react.
How they relate to themselves and the people around them.

And most of us don’t notice it until we’re already caught in it.

That’s a big part of the work I focus on – helping people step back from automatic patterns and respond more intentionally.

Over the next two weeks, I’ll be holding three different spaces rooted in that work – each exploring it from a different angle.

Two free sessions on timer:

🧠 Not Every Thought Needs Your Attention

A practical meditation and conversation on learning to step back from thoughts, emotions, and stress reactions rather than getting pulled into them.

📍May 20, 2026
📍May 21, 2026

And then on May 26th, I’ll be leading a Power Hour for WBEC South:

✨ Leading Beyond Pressure: The 7 Levels of Effectiveness®️ for High-Impact Leaders

A session on how stress and internal patterns shape leadership, communication, decision-making, and collaboration – and how to shift toward more grounded, effective, and intentional ways of leading.

Different formats.
Different audiences.
But all rooted in the same core work:

Learning how to work with the mind under pressure — instead of letting pressure run the show.

Most of us don’t realize how often we walk into conversations already carrying tension, frustration, or expectation.

We brace.
We rehearse.
We prepare for impact before anything has even happened.

And often, without realizing it, we bring the very energy we don’t want more of into the room with us.

But sometimes the biggest shift isn’t in the situation itself.

It’s in how we enter it.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about those moments where we pause long enough to notice what we’re already carrying — and choose, intentionally, how we want to show up instead.

A few reflections on that in this week’s newsletter: https://www.iamliving.us/i-am-living/before-the-conversation-even-began

There are spaces where you can stay on the surface.
And there are spaces where that’s not really an option.

This past week, I had the honor of holding space for 11 incredible women in the California desert.

Together, we went deep.
We got honest quickly.

We looked at the unconscious agreements shaping how we lead, how we relate, and how we move through our lives.

Some support us.
Some hold us back.

And then we chose what no longer serves.
We let go.
We rewrote.

It was a few days of deep reflection.
Moments that required real curiosity.
And real courage.

And also… a lot of laughter.
A lot of joy.
A lot of connection.

What moved me most was not only the vulnerability in the room, but what people were willing to do with it.

A conversation they’d been avoiding.
A decision they finally made.

And the commitment to bring it home.

To their children.
Their families.
Their teams.
Their lives.

And then to see the immediate shifts happening in the group chat?

Tears.

Because this is the part that matters most.

Not just what happens in the room…
but what people actually do with it.

At the end, someone asked me how I felt about this retreat, especially after holding several over the past year.

And the honest answer was:

Full.
Complete.

Not because the journey is complete. Far from it. In many ways, we are just beginning.

But because I know, deep in my bones, that I am doing what I am meant to be doing.

Building spaces for deep, rich connection and conversation.

Spaces that change how people show up in their lives, their leadership, and their relationships.

4 retreats down this year.

September on the horizon…

And maybe a few more in the works… because apparently I don’t sit still for long. 😉

If something in you is reading this and thinking, I want to be in a room like that…

or you’re leading a team and know something deeper needs to be said…

When something feels unclear, the instinct is usually to add more.

More thinking.
More effort.
More trying to figure it out.

And sometimes… that only makes it harder to see.

There’s something else that tends to bring clarity back.

I wrote a short reflection on this in this week’s newsletter. https://www.iamliving.us/i-am-living/when-adding-more-doesnt-bring-clarity

✨ I head into this week’s retreat feeling a real sense of excitement.

And also a deep respect for what happens in these rooms.

Because it’s never just about stepping away.

It’s about what people are willing to step into.

The conversations that go beyond the surface.
The honesty about what’s working… and what isn’t.
The quiet acknowledgment that who we’ve been doesn’t always fit who we’re becoming.

And the willingness to stay with that long enough for something new to emerge.

Every time, layers fall away.

Not all at once.

But enough.

Enough to see more clearly.
Enough to feel what’s been underneath.
Enough to move differently.

And what forms in that space – between women who are leading, building, holding a lot – is something I don’t take lightly.

It’s real.
It’s generous.
It’s rare.

I’m really looking forward to this one.

And I already know I’ll leave changed in some way too.
