You know that moment when you’re this close to clicking “Buy Now”?
The planner that promises productivity. The calendar that’ll finally organize your life. The water bottle that’ll change your health habits forever.
I’ve been there. I am there—often.
But this September, I paused. And that pause revealed something far more powerful than any product ever could.
This isn’t just a story about a calendar.
It’s about what truly fuels my life + business with heart—and how one small decision cracked open a deeper truth about alignment, intention, and building from soul.
The Calendar That Almost Had Me
Earlier this month, I hovered over a giant dry-erase wall calendar on Amazon. The kind that spans your entire office and promises clarity, structure, and momentum in one sweeping visual.
I was convinced it would be the fix.
The thing that finally made me feel “on top of it.”
But I didn’t buy it.
Instead, I asked myself: What am I really chasing?
And that question led me straight into the heart of my coaching work—and the essence of Soulful Seasonal Strategy.
The September Surge: Why We Crave Structure
September carries a unique energy. It’s not just back-to-school buzz—it’s a quiet invitation to begin again.
A second New Year. A fresh rhythm.
For entrepreneurs, this energy can feel electric. Ideas spark. Plans form. We reach for tools that promise to streamline our success.
Virgo season amplifies this with its practical, analytical vibes. Suddenly we’re knee-deep in planners, productivity hacks, and color-coded systems.
But here’s the truth: Structure without soul is just noise.
What I Really Needed
When I paused before buying that calendar, I turned to my Human Design. I asked: What am I hoping this will fix?
A clearer roadmap? A place to dump ideas? A productivity tool that finally makes me feel “enough”?
Yes. And also… no.
Because I already have tools. What I needed wasn’t another surface to scribble on. What I needed was less clutter. Less doing. More being.
(That is, after all, my tagline.)

The Trap of “More”
We’re taught that more is better. More offers. More content. More visibility. More hustle.
But what if the real magic is in the less?
My Human Design reminds me: I’m here to learn, lead, pivot, and iterate. (That last one shows up three times in my chart—clearly the universe isn’t whispering, it’s yelling.)
This is what aligned building looks like. It’s not about chasing productivity.It’s about honoring your energy.
Because when you build from being, the strategy follows.
Building from Soul, Not Just Strategy
This season, I’m choosing creativity over control. Faith over fear. I’m trusting that my energy knows the way—even when the calendar doesn’t.
Instead of doubling down on systems, I turned inward.
I got messy. Crafty. Hands-on.
I laid out every idea—some destined for the recycling bin, others sparking real excitement.
And I didn’t do it alone.
I gathered with two circles of powerful women. We didn’t talk business directly, but we talked soul. Desires. Needs. Cravings.
Their stories stretched mine. Their wisdom clarified what needed action—and what could be set free.
We built on connection. We rooted our next steps in collaboration and possibility.
And in a world that seeks to divide us, isn’t that the most radical thing?
A Truth Worth Your Time
The real magic doesn’t live in perfect plans. It lives in the willingness to tune in. To honour the wisdom already pulsing within. To slow down and get curious.
We chose this path for a reason—whether it was a calling, a craving, or a quiet rebellion against the grind.
Our way of working isn’t an accident.It’s an act of self-trust.
This isn’t just business.It’s the art of becoming.
And when we lead from being, every next step feels aligned, authentic, and powerfully our own.
Final Takeaways from the Wall Calendar That Wasn’t
Structure is support—not a substitute for soul.
The calendar won’t lead you. Your energy will.
This isn’t rise. It’s rise and align.
And you, brilliant woman, are more than capable of building from your being.
That clarity? That confidence? That rhythm?
You won’t find it in a new planner or a calendar hack. But you will find it inside Soulful Seasonal Strategy.
