The Year Is Half Over. Now What?

Welcome to the Mid-Year Reset

this week's focus

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver

Six months down. Six to go.

This is your invitation to take a breath—not to judge where you are, but to reflect on what’s been, what’s changed, and what still matters most.

Too often, we set goals in January while we’re running on fumes, clinging to a version of success shaped by others. We push forward with hope and hustle… but by summer, things feel murky. Our energy is split. Our motivation has shifted. And we’re left wondering if we’re off track—or if we were ever on the right one.

What if this midpoint is not a reckoning, but a recalibration?

This is the power of the Mid-Year Mirror. It’s your chance to:

· Check in with who you are now

· Notice what’s no longer aligned

· Reconnect with your own version of clarity and momentum

The truth? The second half of the year can feel completely different from the first—if you’re willing to shift the lens.

Things to keep in mind:

· Clarity isn’t a lightning bolt. It’s built by slowing down, taking inventory, and choosing again.

· Growth is not linear. Just because you didn’t “achieve” something doesn’t mean you failed—it means you get to refine the path.

· Self-leadership is the courage to pause, reflect, and pivot with intention instead of pressure.

Here’s your invitation:

Take a quiet moment this week and ask:

  • What have I learned in the first half of the year?
  • What no longer feels aligned?
  • Where do I want to be by December 31?

Now is not the time for punishment-based goals or dramatic overhauls. Instead, this is a Summer Reset — a time to choose what will make your life richer, more expansive, more aligned with the woman you’re becoming.

Mid-Year Mindset Shift:

So many women I work with are chasing clarity as if it’s something outside of themselves. But what if clarity isn’t out there? What if it emerges when we slow down, reassess, and choose what matters now?

Mid-year is your checkpoint. Not to measure your worth, but to reflect on your growth and refine your direction. This season is rich with the opportunity to shift from overwhelm to intention, from confusion to clarity, from stuck to strategic.

If your goals feel misaligned or out of reach, it’s not a sign of failure—it’s a signal to reassess and recalibrate.

Question

When December 31 arrives, what do you want to say about how you lived the second half of 2025?

Your Challenge This Week

Take 15 minutes this week for a personal mid-year review. Use a journal or voice memo. Ask: What am I proud of? What surprised me? Where do I want more ease, joy, or direction?

Your Next Step Toward Clarity:

This transformational coaching program is designed for high-achieving women who want to stop second-guessing and start leading their lives from the inside out. No more drifting. No more defaulting. Just powerful clarity and aligned momentum.

Let’s make the second half of 2025 the most aligned one yet.

With you,

Issue #63 What If Your Inner Voice Wasn't the Truth? this week's focus "The mind is everything. What you think, you become." — Buddha We’re deep into July, and if you’re anything like my clients, you’ve been feeling the weight of the goals you set back in January. Maybe they no longer inspire you. Maybe they weren’t yours to begin with. Maybe they’ve been quietly sabotaged by the voice in your head that says, “Who are you to want more?” If that resonates, you’re not alone. Most high-achieving...

Issue #62 Mid-Year Wake-Up Call: Is Your Story Helping or Hurting You? this week's focus "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." — Carl Jung We’re officially halfway through 2025. But before you set another goal or tell yourself to “get it together,” I want you to pause. Not to reflect on how much you’ve achieved, but to ask a deeper question: What beliefs have been running the show so far this year? Because here’s the truth no one talks...

Access to journals, meditations, and mindset tools is powerful—but without intentional action, they become digital clutter. Here’s how to use them to create real clarity and momentum.

Issue #60 Why Tools Alone Won’t Change Your Life (And What Will) this week's focus “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” — James Clear We’ve all done it: downloaded the free workbook, saved the journal prompts, bookmarked the meditation… and then moved on to the next thing. Why? Because it’s easier to consume than it is to change. And most of us don’t realize we’re stuck in a cycle of inspiration with no integration. This isn’t laziness. It’s a...
