Hey hey Reader,

With everything that comes with this time of year, I’ve been thinking a lot about what Easter actually represents beyond the surface. Not the holiday itself, not the traditions, not even whether you celebrate it or not.

The idea underneath it of growth & renewal.

But growth doesn’t usually look the way we think it will. It’s not always this beautiful, blooming moment where everything suddenly makes sense. A lot of the time, it looks like uncertainty, questioning yourself & feeling stretched in ways you didn’t ask for.

But that doesn’t mean nothing is happening. It usually means everything is.

Like currently? Nothing is REALLY working out over here ... *and* ... there really isn't anything wrong?

In one of my mindless scroll sessions, I came across a very vibrant woman talking about how excited she was that nothing was working out... because it meant that she was being upgraded. And damn... that perspective shift itched my brain in such a way that got me excited for what was coming my way.

There’s a version of you right now that is shedding old ways of being, even if part of you wants to hold on. Patterns, beliefs, roles you’ve outgrown… they don’t leave all at once.

They loosen slowly. And sometimes that feels like confusion, or frustration, or even grief for something you know you’re ready to release.

That’s part of renewal too.

We don’t talk about that enough.

That growth asks you to let go before you fully understand what you’re becoming. It requires trust before there’s proof.

If that’s where you are right now, then you're RIGHT ON TIME, boo. And instead of rushing through it or trying to force clarity, what if you got curious instead?

Questions to ask yourself or things to consider:

-Why do you respond the way you do?
-What feels hard right now, and what might it be asking of you?
-Where are you being invited to grow, even if it’s uncomfortable?

You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to stay with yourself long enough to notice.

This season isn’t about becoming someone new overnight. It’s about allowing yourself to evolve, piece by piece, in a way that actually feels true.

So if things feel messy, uncertain, or slower than you’d like, take a breath. Something is still growing here. And you’re allowed to grow at your own pace.

(If you’re craving a space to be in this kind of growth with others who get it, I’d love to have you join us at one of our upcoming community gatherings. VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON options are available, and you can view them all here.)

Much love,
​Jess​
