The Strategy

5 steps to creating a shift in your life

1. Decide on one area that needs to change and define the change you want to see. 
2. What empowering mindset will you need to adopt? What will your new mantra be? 
3. How will you feel when this shift happens? How can you tap into that feeling now? What can you do more of to create that vibe?
4. What’s the first action you need to take?This is often where the wheels fall off because we try to do too much and get overwhelmed. I like to find the first three actions I need to take.
5. What does the highest version of you know you need to change to make this stick?Our intuitions are powerful tools that often get overlooked, particularly when we’re feeling challenged and overwhelmed.

The SOUL: Journal prompts

Ask yourself:

• What’s one area of your life that no longer fits — no matter how much you try to make it work?
• What’s one truth you’ve been scared to admit to yourself?
• What shift is quietly whispering your name?

UNIVERSAL GUIDANCE

The card I pulled for this episode was The Empress — and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a more aligned message.

The Empress is the embodiment of creation, self-trust, and feminine power. She doesn’t wait for permission. She decides— from within — what she’s ready to grow, and then she nurtures it into being.
She doesn’t try to control every outcome… but she takes full ownership of what she’s cultivating.

In the context of this episode, The Empress is here to remind you that you are the source.
That the life you desire won’t come from fixing everything at once… but from choosing one thing to honour, to shift, to lead with love — and then showing up for it fully.

Her message is clear:

“You don’t have to hustle your way into a better life.
You simply need to stop abandoning the part of you that knows what she wants.”

The Empress invites you to:

• Choose one area of your life that’s ready to be reborn
• Tend to it like it matters — because it does
• Trust that when you commit to your growth, life will rise to meet you

This is what The Shift is all about.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about reclaiming your power as the creator of your life  one intentional shift at a time.
