Embracing the And: The Power of Wholeness
The Myth of Choosing One Path
For a long time, I thought success meant choosing one lane and staying in it. I built a career in the business world, earned my MBA, and spent years chasing the next milestone. On paper, everything looked right. But beneath the structure and striving, there was a quieter knowing — a sense that something essential was missing.
From Doing to Being
When I stepped away from corporate life to start my own business, I thought I had finally found freedom. But I soon realized I had carried the same drive with me, the same belief that my worth was tied to productivity.
Motherhood brought a different lens. It asked me to slow down and pay attention to what was already here. Presence began to feel more like purpose. The small moments — reading a bedtime story, listening instead of fixing, sitting in the quiet beside my kids — became reminders that leadership can be gentle, and that tending to what’s in front of us is its own kind of success.
The Call to Integrate
Yoga entered my life as a way to pause. Over time, it became a way to listen — not just to my body, but to the deeper rhythm beneath the noise. When I began training as a Wayfinder Life Coach, that listening deepened. I started to see how the different parts of my life weren’t meant to compete. The strategist, the teacher, the mother, the student — each carried its own wisdom. Integration, not separation, was what brought me back to center.
We Are Allowed to Be Many Things
Reading One Person, Multiple Careers by Marci Alboher put words to what I had already been living. We are the “slash generation”: mother and yogi, coach and creative, leader and learner. Our paths don’t have to fit neatly into one box. When we embrace the and, life becomes less about balance and more about connection. The same awareness that steadies us in a yoga pose can help us navigate change. The same intuition that guides a parent can lead a professional toward clarity. It’s all part of the same whole.
Wayfinding Toward Wholeness
In Wayfinder Life Coaching, we explore what it means to live from that place of wholeness — to let every part of ourselves belong. Instead of trying to manage the pieces, we learn to let them support each other. When we stop striving to be one thing, we begin to move with a kind of ease that feels like coming home.
Wholeness isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about allowing who you already are to be enough.
