Hi Reader!

How was your first week of the season? If it was anything like mine, you were really busy and found yourself caught up in the bustle and excitement of newly invigorated goals after some time off.

I love this energy. This feeling like ideas are in abundance and I’m feeling rested and ready to meet them.

But, and this is a huge but, it is far too easy to bite off more than we can chew and try to get it all done at once.

It is precisely for this reason that I hosted a free Fall Kickoff call inside The Pack on Wednesday, so we could look at our exciting and wild to-do list (you know all of those tasks and goals we want to get done by the end of 2024) and take our personal temperature with them.

How does each of these tasks and goals feel in your body?
When you think of doing all these things, does it make you feel excited or stressed? (or maybe a little bit of both)
​And what can you do to take the pressure off so you can accomplish a lot but from a place of spaciousness and flow?

I’ve personally learned that I work far better when things feel spacious and was reminded of this when I was on vacation last week.

Now, I’m going to come clean with you that I totally worked while on vacation.

This is not something I advocate for and at the same time, I’ve been generating a lot of big projects this year and being newly divorced, I haven’t had the luxury of a no holds barred, zero work and galavanting through the countryside vacation. (It's definitely coming though - hello 2025!!)

But what that work looked like was me spending about 2 hours a day on high leverage actions to move my projects forward.

Like interviewing and hiring an editor for my short and getting files uploaded to the cloud so she could get started, and doing reach-outs to some CDs, Agents and Managers I met during my last LA trip in advance of this trip. (Yes, I totally started my week at my parent’s house in Florida, went back to NYC for 4 days, and I’m now in Cali. Wild and absolutely loving it!!)

And then I did some personal development work which I hadn’t had time to do with The Embodied Actor launch, which was so necessary and helped me start to move the needle in places where I’ve felt stuck quickly!!

And the rest of the time? I took long walks. I went to the beach. I played Rummikub, Play 9, and Karma with my mom. And went to the movies with my parents. (I wouldn’t normally have chosen an intense movie like Twisters but it was actually really good.)

So there is a little bit of a false narrative that we need to work hard all the time and put in a lot of hours to get things done, but that simply isn’t true!!

It is the how that matters.

I’ve just opened up my calendar for some free Embodied Coaching Consults, if you are ready to shift the way that you work and show up for your life and start seeing massive results. (My clients are feeling more strong and settled into the truth of who they are, booking more, and even getting direct offers.) Click here to book yours.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Much love,
Natalie

How you feel matters!! (Here’s your permission to break a few of your own rules in service of that.)
