Have you ever noticed how right before something begins to shift, everything seems to fall apart?

Lately, I’ve witnessed a wave of this - clients reaching their edges. Where once the chaos was tolerable, even familiar, now it’s too loud to ignore.
The overwhelm is real. The discomfort unavoidable.

There’s a saying: “The moment you want to give up is often the moment just before the breakthrough.”
And while it may sound cliché, there’s truth here. Not surface truth - soul truth.

Because chaos, as disruptive as it feels, often signals that something deeper is preparing to emerge.
Not just any change - real, rooted transformation.

But here’s the key: the invitation isn’t to power through or react blindly.
It’s to pause.
To listen.
To ask yourself honest questions beneath the noise.

When old coping strategies start to fail - when the ways we’ve kept ourselves safe no longer hold - something sacred is happening.
The wounds we’ve avoided start to speak louder.
The masks grow heavier.
The story begins to unravel.

And this is where the real work begins.

You are not broken. You are breaking open.
There is wisdom in the unraveling.
There is power in the pause.

We’re not meant to live in potential. We’re meant to live in presence.
And in presence, we notice:
– what’s no longer working
– what’s still rooted in fear
– and what’s quietly, patiently waiting to grow

You don’t have to know all the answers.
But you do have to ask:
Will I stay stuck in the storm, or will I let the storm clear the way?

You are allowed to replant yourself.
You are allowed to outgrow your old containers.
You are allowed to begin again.

And you’re not alone.
We’re all learning how to soften into the messiness and let our roots deepen into something truer.

So if you’re in the middle of it - breathe.
You’re not losing your way.
You’re finding your truth.

With love,

Susan
