Rest in peace and power, Claudette.

Claudette was just a teenager when she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus, an act of resistance that helped spark the Montgomery Bus Boycott and created a lasting legacy of standing up to injustice.

Most of us feeling it, no 🙄?

if your New Year began with a (looong) sigh 😮‍💨 instead of a excitement and spark, it’s not signs of weakness or laziness!

Two truths as a gentle reminder.

The reaction is what makes as human and it will pass. It is just our nervous system adjusting from holiday mode back to work mode.

You are not just being emotional or sensitive or "in your head" 🥹. Remember, you do not need to be 100% ready to start the work. One small start is what you might need ⭐.

Create a gentle landing by trying a version of the landing tomorrow, such as adding a short coffee break or short walk after lunch.

This is something we work on in the Cycle Breakers program —
learning to tell the difference between misalignment and actual harm.

Harm is absolutely real and it happens a lot.
And I find that many people interpret misalignment as harm —
they take it deeply personally when someone can't meet them where they want to be met.
And while it's true that misalignment and harm can overlap at times,
it's also true that someone not being in the same space as you isn't inherently harmful or offensive, and it doesn't necessarily make either of you "wrong."

You might be in different places with different needs, maturity levels, perspectives, or feelings about something significant.
And that's not inherently bad —
but in order to tolerate misalignment, we have to have a respectful connection with ourselves.
We have to have the self awareness to be present to our own feelings, needs, wants, and desires, and to be in touch with our own boundaries.

And when we do so, we can encounter misalignment and recognize what's happening is that we're not in the same place —
and use that information to help us move forward.
Sometimes together, respecting differences.
Sometimes separately when we realize the gap is too large.
This can be quite painful at times, but it's what differentiated, emotionally mature adults become increasingly capable of over time.

This is a complex topic, but one that can be incredibly helpful when we stop interpreting difference as harm (which often happens when we're raised in codependent systems).
If this is something you're working on, the 12 month Cycle Breakers program begins January 21.
Space is limited!

You don’t “find your calling,” you fight for it — and other lessons from people who found their passion (sometimes late in life).

The holiday and New Year celebration are over!

Coming back to work can feel (strangely!) overwhelming 😣. You’re not imagining it or just being emotional, and you’re 100% not alone. These feelings are known as post-holiday blues and are a perfectly normal human responses.

This carousel breaks down some common myths vs truths about post-holiday blues, so you can stop criticising yourself and start understanding what’s actually happening in your mind and body.

If this resonates with you, I’ve written a guide on navigating post-holiday blues in this month's blog (https://reignitepsy.com/blog), including why it happens and how to make the transition easier without forcing yourself to “snap out of it.”

Take it slowly. You’ve got this! 💛

Your biggest weakness is probably just a strength in the wrong room.

The kid who couldn't sit still becomes the entrepreneur who outworks everyone. The "too sensitive" one becomes the leader who actually notices when the team is struggling. The stubborn one becomes the founder who survives when everyone else quits.

Nothing changed about them. The context did.

Most self-improvement advice is about sanding down your edges. Getting rid of the "too much." Becoming smoother, easier, more acceptable.

That's backwards.

Your edges are the point. They just need the right environment.

→ Intense? Find work that rewards intensity.
→ Obsessive? Find a problem worth obsessing over.
→ Stubborn? Find a bet worth refusing to quit on.

Stop trying to fix the things that make you difficult. Start finding where difficult is exactly what's needed.

The goal isn't to become less. It's to find where your "too much" is the job description.

At this time of the year, let’s pause and be reminded of what truly matters.

In a world that often measures success by what we accumulate, how about shifting our focus a little bit?

Let the warmth and comfort of being there for someone who needs us and the quiet joy of making others feel seen and valued become the gifts 💝 that we bring this year.

May your season be filled with many chances to share love, and may you discover that in giving it away, you receive something far more valuable in return 🕊.
