It’s Still Summer… But You Already Feel Behind

Technically, it’s still summer.

But if you’re anything like me (and so many of the women I coach), your brain is already shifting gears.

📚 The school supply lists are coming in.
📅 The calendar is filling up.
🧠 And that little voice is starting to whisper, “I should be farther along by now.”

Sound familiar?

Here’s what I want to tell you — not as a coach, but as someone who has lived through this exact moment, year after year:

You’re not behind. You’re in between.

Between who you were… and who you’re becoming.
Between coasting… and choosing to lead.
Between the business that got you here… and the one that will carry you into what’s next.

That “summer scramble” feeling? It’s real. And it’s not just about time or productivity. It’s about identity.

This week on my Align With Me YouTube series, I went deep on exactly this. I shared:

  • Why this season hits high-achievers especially hard
  • What the pressure really means (hint: it’s not failure — it’s a sign you’re ready for more)
  • Real stories from agents who are choosing to lead before they feel ready
  • And my new coaching tool: The B.E.L.O.N.G. Method — a reset to help you stop spiraling and start showing up with clarity

Here’s what I know:
The version of you that’s meant to lead this next chapter?
She’s already in you. She’s not waiting for the fall. She’s not waiting for permission.
She’s just waiting for you to remember.

And next week inside The Elevated Agent Collective, we’re diving into our new monthly theme:

Visibility with Integrity
Because you can’t show up powerfully on the outside if you’re doubting yourself on the inside. ✨

Let this be your reset.
Let it recalibrate your leadership.
And then let’s go bigger — together.

You’ve got this. You’re not behind. You’re right on time.
