The simplest way to navigate any season of change

Welcome to Wisdom Wednesdays from Owl & Key

Each week, enjoy a quick guided reflection to help you unlock what's next and bring your Strategic Plan for Life into reality. 

Let's dive in!


 

Things change.

Sometimes when you want them to. Other times when you least expect it (and really don’t want it).

In either case, one of the best tools you have is your energetic compass.

Start paying attention to what expands your energy—what feels alive, open, easeful. And just as importantly, notice what constrains it—what drains you, tightens you, weighs you down.

When you know what you're designing around—and what makes you feel well—you can move through almost any transition with more clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Will it still be uncomfortable? Probably.
Will it stretch you? Yes.
But it can also become one of the most meaningful turning points of your life.

Like a little Hallmark Christmas movie moment…
The one where she loses the job and the fiancé, returns home, and somehow reconnects with the love of her life and her purpose—just in time for a snowy-white Christmas.

Okay, maybe your story won’t be that whimsical. But it will be uniquely yours. And it begins with tuning into your energy.

Here’s a simple practice to try today:

  • Write a list of your Drives & Drains (what expands you vs. what depletes you)

  • Say it out loud.

  • Speak it into open space.

  • Talk it through with someone who can reflect your energy back to you.

Sometimes, the clearest insight comes when someone mirrors what you already know.

That’s most of what I do in 1:1 work—hold up the mirror, help you see what’s true, and then co-create the strategy to move forward.

This level of awareness is a gift. A way to stop chasing the life you think you’re supposed to build…

and start living the one that actually nourishes you.


If you're ready to explore your next chapter with more intention:

  • Start solo with our Strategic Planning for Life book or UNLOCKED Membership

  • Or walk the path with me or one of our expert Guides—people who’ve already walked through what you’re facing now

  • Already a member? Join us this Friday at Noon EST for a live session on Values Alignment.

 

Whatever you choose:

Keep moving toward what expands you.

It’s not always "logical." But it’s always leading you home.

With heart,
Krista & The Owl & Key Team
