My Last Words
A vulnerable note before a pause
Good morning dear friends ☀️
I’m both excited and nervous to share this post with you all because it requires me to step out of my comfort zone and into the unknown - something I teach to my community on a weekly basis.
I’m no “I know it all guru”. I’m in the ring with you, experiencing Intuitive Living with you. Trying, testing, leaping, failing, succeeding, starting over. This is where life really happens - in our actions.
But as I sit on my Mexican balcony, gazing out at the healing mountain that awaits me each morning, waiting for my daughter to arrive, I am remembering in every cell of my body, why it’s so important to Say Yes to our YES, even when we are scared, and there are no guarantees. Life sends us opportunities in the most unexpected moments, wrapped in circumstances that we were most often not expecting.
Nearly a year ago today, at 42 years old, I had this terrifying feeling that I would die an old single lady. Life felt flatlined. I had just lost my younger dog, Johnny and was experiencing the worst heartbreak and grief of my life, and I knew I was going to soon lose my older dog, Bailey. Wow so much to look forward to right? I lost Bailey in July of that year.
I had accomplished SO much in my career and wondered, “What’s left?” Entering peri-menopause, I didn’t have that drive, that inner fire that I used to have. I felt broken. I was living in the middle of nowhere, where I grew up, in my grandmother’s old farmhouse and felt so very lonely. My weekly thought was “I will never meet somewhere here”.
And then on May 16th, I met the love of my life, whom I had crossed paths with 2 years before, in that small town where I thought nothing would happen. Like magic, everything changed in a blink, because I said Yes to my YES. Through the fear, the unknown and lots of judgment from others. Three months later, we were married, one month after the wedding, I found out I was pregnant, and now I’m sitting in Mexico with the family I always dreamed of, living my YES life between Canada and Mexico and awaiting my daughter’s arrival. To make things even more magical, the due date for my daughter’s birth is on May 16th, the day I met my husband, and we began our life together.
SO! Here is what I want you to remember.
Don’t despair, you have not missed your moment. It will arrive when you are ready to receive it.
Trust your gut feelings and Say Yes to Your YES - even if/when it doesn’t make logical sense. It is the roadmap to your best life, and there are opportunities waiting for you on the other side of that YES.
Stay curious about opportunities that come your way, even if they are wrapped in a different package than you expected.
Every week, I receive messages from women sharing that they finally Said Yes to Their YES, and they are so grateful they found the courage to do so! They send me photos of them living their YES, stories of all the magic that is unfolding and words of gratitude for their courage.
Here are a few that came in, in the last few weeks that made my heart explode:
So I wanted to share some final words with you before I go on an intentional pause with my baby girl and my family. It has been SO hard for me to release my work, step back and go on this little family retreat that I’m calling it because, damn, I love my work. I love seeing women step past their fears and Say Yes to their YESes and then experiencing the thrill of the new adventures that they dreamed of for so long.
The beauty of it, though, is that nothing stops when I step back. The book and its impact has taken on a life of their own and the wave of change just keeps flowing in our community space.
As with everything in my life, I’m choosing to do this my way. Not in the traditional maternity leave way, but in Jenn’s unique way of moving through the world.
I will be pausing my regular writing here and most activities I’m usually involved in BUT I will continue to send you a Say Yes to Your YES Oracle Card each week. These will flow out to you automatically with lots of love. I sent the first one a few weeks back, and now the rest will flow to you from May until July, so you get a little Intuitive Drop each week to inspire and support you.
I won’t be completely OOO, though. I will be focusing ALL of my energy and attention in ONE place only - the home of Say Yes to Your YES, which is The Yes Collective - the place where I keep showing up for myself as well each week. That is where you can find me, connect with our community, and me - either in the Free Community Space or in our Paid Members Portal.
Everything is now hosted in a beautiful, simple and intimate WhatsApp community and let me tell you, we are LOVING it! It’s like having the best circle of women supporting you - cheering you on as you Say Yes to Your Next YES - right in your pocket!
