Dear Lightbearer,

I see you … ready to step into new levels of leadership, growth and impact

I see you … wondering if there is more to this life (more to YOU) than what you’ve been sold

I see you … finding out that you got the thing you wanted and wondering if that is going to be the thing that pushes you over the edge

I see you … grieving what you thought would be your life (the end of a career, relationship, or belief system)

I see you … chafing against the friction of the “not this” … the roles, structures and relationships that just don’t seem to fit anymore

I see you … knowing that it is time to walk away, that you would pick a different path if you just knew what it was with enough clarity to take the first few steps forward …

I see you … wondering why you feel so tired and empty no matter how much “success” you have accumulated

I see you … your body has been screaming for a while, but you are afraid of what turning toward its cries will reveal or demand of you

I see you … you know you cannot hold more but you also cannot figure out how to lay anything down … what are you supposed to do when everything feels critically important and non-negotiable?!

I see you … standing at a growth edge and something is holding you back … maybe you wonder if you are kidding yourself… maybe you aren’t sure you are “ready”

I see you … you have built your business, your career, your life with intent and purpose … you are doing the thing … but the horizon feels murky and you have a sneaking suspicion that what got you here will not be enough to get you where you want to go next

I see you … entering a new season of life … your kids are growing or grown or maybe you have created and built something … maybe you don’t feel challenged anymore or the demands on your time have shifted … you wonder what you can become or do next …

I see you … wondering if you can meet this moment.

Will you thrive? Will you drown? Will you stay stuck in patterns that seem impossible to break and become exhausted from wrestling your own insides? Will you collapse under the weight? Will you fly too close to the sun–pushing too hard for too long without the right resources and support–and melt your wings?

Maybe this threshold has brought up a set of fears you forgot you had.

Maybe the fears you have always known you carry have gotten louder and louder, the stories in your head (and your body taking center stage without permission.

Maybe someone pulled a block out of the Jenga tower that is your carefully curated life and you aren’t sure the tower can stand.

Maybe you are holding all the things … but the cup is full and if one thing shifts, all hell might break loose.

Maybe you feel a little excited and a little nauseated and are reverberating with energy at the thought of possibility and potential you can see clearly before you (but you want to bring this vision into form in a way that is life giving and honors who you are and what you need in order to hold its fullest expression).

You asked for this, you wanted it, but are you ready?

You never asked for this, you never wanted it, will you survive it?

Will you find a truer version of yourself and your life on the other side?

Will you hold the complexity of change with clarity, confidence, peace and ease?

Will you hold unwavering vision even as you encounter obstacles, resistance and course corrections along the way?

Will you be able to hold yourself steady through the messy middle, the space between now and not yet?

Will you honor your body’s wisdom or keep shoving it aside in favor of the rational, the logical, the “shoulds” and the “have tos”.

Will you feel deeply nourished, resourced, held and supported as you navigate this threshold?

Will you step more fully into the authentic expression of your own vision, voice, and power?

Or will you get lost along the way?

If you find yourself standing at a threshold, feeling any of these (or other) feelings, asking yourself any of these (or other) questions, I would love to hear from you. Something is coming.

Love,

Booth
