Have you ever had one of those moments where the universe seems to be guiding you, if only you pause long enough to listen?
Last week, I had the honor of leading at a private retreat in Cabo, Mexico. The experience was nothing short of magical, and on the final day, we were gifted a private cacao ceremony.
As I sat in that sacred space, I felt an overwhelming connection — to myself, to my surroundings, to something much greater than me. It was a moment of pure alignment.
Later that day, I headed to the airport for my flight to Vegas, where I was scheduled to speak at my next event. As I settled into the lounge, my flight kept getting delayed… and then, finally, it was canceled. But instead of frustration, I felt something else: peace. Almost as if I wasn’t meant to leave yet.
Without hesitation, I reached out to a good friend who was still in Cabo. Within minutes, I had a room at her hotel, and as soon as I arrived, I knew: This is exactly where I need to be. But why? I waited for the answer… and it came swiftly.
Rest.
Not just sleep. True, deep, soul-replenishing rest.
So, I listened. I stayed in Cabo for three extra days, surrendering to what I needed most. And let me tell you, it was the most glorious, restorative rest of my life. I joked that the Cabo vortex had kept me, but in truth, I knew this wasn’t an accident.
By Wednesday, when I finally left for Vegas, this time it felt right. I was ready. And I was so grateful — for the pause, for the flexibility, for the trust in the timing of it all.
So today, wherever you are… ask yourself:
What do I need right now?
The universe is always speaking. If you listen closely, it will tell you exactly what you need to hear.
Sending you all amazing vibes this week!

P.S. Are you feeling stuck, unsure of what you need right now? That’s okay, too. Trust the process and give yourself some time to focus on you.
