At this moment, I knew one thing—the boulders beneath my feet reflect my commitment to Boldly Unbounded. Unwavering.
Yet, my voice is emerging in a new way—more poetic, more intuitive, more vulnerable—into my life, my business.
And with that comes the winter winds.
Winter winds carry whispers of change, and I feel its echo in my being—that familiar knot of uncertainty in my chest, the tightness in my shoulders carrying the weight of unmade decisions. Unrelenting questions.
Do I step back into a Head of People role while building Boldly Unbounded?
How much longer will my life be in Barcelona?
Will this finally be the year Chinmay and I bring a little one into our family?
What's the most aligned path—with my energy, inner compass, and highest self—for my ambitious vision?
Entering 2025, I feel the cyclone of thoughts in my mind, the heaviness in my chest, the clenching in my jaw and glutes. The all-too-familiar urge arises to research extensively, to plan the perfect future version of my life rather than being present with the abundance I already have.
We're so practiced at responding to challenges, making decisions, hitting targets—always doing for others, for our teams, for our careers—that we forget to listen to what we really need.
Disconnection from our present. Our highest self. Our joy. Our self-trust.
Maybe you're experiencing this in your life, your leadership.
As my body has been holding these questions, I remembered—wisdom doesn't come from chasing.
When I notice myself contracting, I pause.
Breathe deeply.
Offer self-compassion for navigating these unknowns.
Invite my regulated nervous system to gently remind me that I don't need all the answers right now. Instead...
Savor my present.
Trust the process.
Trust myself.
