Redefining Busy

Redefining what it means to say "I'm busy". Busy doing what sets your soul on fire. Busy being engaged in relationships. Busy living an INTENTIONAL life.

Sometimes we think we’ve worked through something, only to discover there’s another layer we haven’t quite reached yet.

That’s been a big part of my journey lately.

Losing Willow broke my heart, but it also brought some emotions to the surface that went much deeper than her loss.

And as painful as it was, I chose to sit with those feelings instead of continuing to carry them around.

I share this because I never want anyone to think that being a mindset coach means I’ve got life all figured out.

I’m human. I’m learning. I’m growing. And I’m doing the same inner work I encourage others to do.

I don’t believe healing is about reaching some perfect destination where nothing ever hurts again.

I think it’s about becoming more aware of ourselves and learning how to move through life’s difficult moments without allowing them to define the rest of our lives.

And sometimes, that work takes us places we never expected.

I miss you, sweet Willow. Thank you for all the love you brought into my life. 💗🐔

Choosing yourself isn’t always easy, especially when you’ve spent years making decisions based on what was expected of you.

But there’s a difference between staying somewhere because you genuinely want to be there and staying because you’re afraid of what happens if you leave.

And sometimes the first step toward change is simply acknowledging that difference.

This month, we’re talking about the courage to choose yourself. Not from a place of selfishness, but from a place of honesty, self-trust, and intentional living.

So I’m curious…

What’s one thing you’ve outgrown but haven’t quite given yourself permission to release? 🤔

Well, hello again! 👋❤️

It’s been quiet around here!

I took October off social media to break my habit of mindlessly scrolling. I needed that time to reflect and work through things I’d carried for too long.

If you’ve followed my journey, you know I’ve experienced three corporate layoffs since 2022. I hadn’t realized how much anger, resentment, and disappointment I was still holding onto. The applications, interviews, rejection, and ghosting left me feeling like I had to keep proving my worth.

And I had to get honest with myself.

I’ve spent this year building Redefining Busy with one foot still in corporate.

I’d get excited, put myself out there, and when clients didn’t come knocking within approximately 10 minutes 😂, fear would kick in. Before I knew it, I was applying for jobs again.

One foot on the gas. One foot on the brake.

I wasn’t giving myself a chance to step into the life I wanted. I kept looking backward for something familiar.

So I sat with those feelings and recognized how much power I’d given them.

And something shifted.

I realized I don’t want to go back.

I don’t regret my corporate career. I learned so much and met incredible people. But that chapter has served its purpose, and I’m ready to stop reopening it.

I’m choosing to put my energy into Redefining Busy and my bigger vision for Sherl’s Sanctuary.

Will it be easy? Probably not. Do I have it all figured out? Absolutely not. 😂

But I’m finally ready to give myself and this business a real chance.

Isn’t that what Redefining Busy is about? Recognizing when our lives no longer fit who we’re becoming and choosing differently.

Consider this my reintroduction!

I’m the founder of Redefining Busy, a mindset coach, Reiki practitioner, author, and a woman still growing alongside the people I help.

My mission is to help people break free from expectations, reconnect with who they truly are, and create lives that feel authentically theirs.

If you’ve been here, thank you for sticking around. If you’re new, welcome! ❤️

Here’s to new chapters and trusting ourselves.

Let’s see where this goes! ❤️

Maybe the ordinary moments were the good stuff all along. 🤍

Sometimes the hardest person to tell the truth to is ourselves. 🤍

After spending last week exploring each of the seven chakras, I wanted to show you a little glimpse into one of the ways I work with energy in my own practice. 🤍

Reiki gives you something many of us don’t give ourselves nearly enough of…

Space to stop doing and simply receive.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, energetically drained, or simply curious about Reiki, I’d love to create that space for you.

I’m currently booking Reiki sessions. Send me a DM with REIKI and I’ll send you the details. 🤍

08/16/2026

And just like that, we’ve made our way to the final chakra in this series. 🤍

The Crown Chakra.

Located at the top of the head, the Crown Chakra is associated with spiritual connection, higher consciousness, wisdom and our connection to something greater than ourselves.

And for me, this one brings up one word more than anything else:

Surrender.

Not giving up.

Not sitting back and waiting for life to happen.

But releasing this idea that I have to control every detail of how my life unfolds.

And whew… this has been a big one for me. 😂

I like a plan.

I like knowing what comes next.

I like being able to see how Point A is eventually going to get me to Point B.

But some of the most meaningful parts of my life have required me to move forward without knowing exactly how everything was going to work out.

To listen. To trust.

To take the next step even when I couldn’t see the entire staircase.

The Crown Chakra reminds me that maybe we’re not supposed to have all the answers.

Maybe part of our journey here is learning when to take action and when to loosen our grip.

To trust ourselves.

To trust God, the Universe, whatever that greater connection means to you.

And to believe that sometimes things are unfolding in ways we simply can’t see yet.

As we’ve moved through all seven chakras this week, I’ve realized how beautifully they build upon one another.

We ground ourselves. ❤️
We allow ourselves to feel and create. 🧡
We step into our power. 💛
We open our hearts. 💚
We speak our truth. 💙
We listen to our inner wisdom. 💜
And finally, we surrender and connect to something greater. 🤍

Maybe coming back into balance isn’t about becoming someone new at all.

Maybe it’s about coming home to every part of ourselves.

And trusting where that leads us.

So I’ll leave you with one final question:

What might you finally be ready to surrender instead of trying so hard to control? 🤍

Today we’re moving into the Third Eye Chakra. 💜

And this one might be one of my favorites because it’s all about intuition, inner wisdom and learning to trust what we know within ourselves.

Have you ever known something before you could explain why you knew it?

You had a feeling about a person.

Something about an opportunity didn’t feel right.

You knew it was time to make a change.

Or there was this quiet little voice telling you to take a different path.

And then your brain got involved. 😂

You analyzed it.

Asked everyone else what they thought.

Made the pros and cons list.

Talked yourself out of what you felt because you couldn’t logically explain it.

I’ve done this more times than I can count.

The Third Eye Chakra is associated with intuition, insight, awareness, imagination and our ability to see beyond what’s right in front of us.

And I think one of the hardest things about intuition is that it usually doesn’t come with proof.

It whispers.

And when we’ve spent years looking outside ourselves for answers, that whisper can be really easy to dismiss.

But the more I’ve slowed down and created space for stillness, the more I’ve realized how much wisdom was already there.

Maybe intuition isn’t something we need to find.

Maybe we need to get quiet enough to hear it.

That doesn’t mean every thought or feeling is some divine message. Discernment matters too.

But I do think there’s something powerful about learning the difference between the noise of fear and the quiet knowing within us.

Sometimes we don’t need another opinion.

We don’t need another sign.

We don’t need someone else to give us permission.

Sometimes we already know.

The work is learning to trust ourselves enough to listen. 💜

So today, sit with this question:

What do I already know that I keep asking someone else to confirm? 🤔

08/14/2026

Today we’re “speaking” about the Throat Chakra. 💙

And this one is all about finding and using your voice.

The Throat Chakra is associated with communication, self-expression, authenticity and speaking your truth.

But I think speaking our truth is about so much more than the words that come out of our mouths.

It’s also about all the times we silence ourselves.

Saying yes when we really want to say no.

Keeping quiet because we don’t want to disappoint someone.

Not asking for what we need because we’re afraid of being “too much.”

Changing our opinion depending on who is in the room.

Swallowing what we really want to say because keeping the peace feels safer than being honest.

I think a lot of us learned somewhere along the way that being liked, accepted or easy to be around was more important than being fully ourselves.

So we edit.

We soften.

We shrink.

And sometimes we do it for so long that we stop even asking ourselves what we actually think, feel or want.

Finding your voice isn’t about becoming louder.

It’s about becoming more honest.

It’s being able to say, “This doesn’t work for me anymore.”

“I need something different.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“This is what I want.”

“This is who I am.”

And allowing those words to be enough without writing an entire dissertation explaining why. 😂

Your truth doesn’t become less true because someone else doesn’t understand it.

And your voice doesn’t only matter when everyone agrees with you.

Maybe part of coming home to ourselves is learning to stop swallowing the words our soul has been trying to say all along. 💙

So today, sit with this:

Where in my life am I still silencing myself to make someone else more comfortable?

And maybe an even bigger question…

What would I say if I wasn’t afraid of how it would be received?

08/13/2026

Today we’re moving into the Heart Chakra. 💚

When we think about the heart, we naturally think about love.

Loving our partners. Our children. Our families. Our friends.

But the Heart Chakra goes deeper than the love we give to other people.

It’s also about the love we’re willing to receive.

And that one has me thinking.

Because I think a lot of us are really good at giving.

We take care of people. We show up. We support. We listen. We hold space. We love deeply.

But receiving?

That can be harder.

Especially when life has taught you to be strong. To handle things yourself. To protect your heart because you know what it feels like to have it broken.

Sometimes the walls we build are necessary for a season.

But eventually we have to ask ourselves if those walls are still protecting us or if they’re keeping something beautiful from getting in.

The Heart Chakra is associated with love, compassion, forgiveness, connection and emotional openness. And when I think about bringing more balance to this part of ourselves, I don’t think it means walking around with our hearts wide open to everyone.

Boundaries still matter.

I think it means allowing our hearts to soften without abandoning ourselves.

Letting ourselves love and be loved.

Giving ourselves the same compassion we so freely give to everyone else.

Allowing people to show up for us.

Forgiving where we’re ready, including ourselves.

And remembering that keeping our hearts open is not weakness.

It takes incredible courage to remain soft in a world that has given us plenty of reasons to harden.

So today, maybe ask yourself:

Where have I protected my heart so well that I’ve also made it difficult for love to get in?

And maybe the work isn’t tearing down every wall at once.

Maybe it’s just opening a little window. 💚
