A Pause, Not a Goodbye

Sometimes life calls a time-out, not because we’re done, but because we need to tend to the roots before we can rise again.

For medical reasons, I need to step away for now. My path has taken a turn I didn’t choose, but I will meet it with courage. My focus has shifted inward. Right now, it’s not about achieving or showing up in the world as I have before. It’s about learning to live, to move, to be, differently.

I’m learning to walk with one leg.

I’m learning to live with a bigger amputation, of limb, yes, but also of the illusion that I must always be strong, always be forward-facing, always be the helper. Now, I am the one receiving care. I am the one learning grace, slowness, patience.

This is not weakness. This is transformation.

During this time, Karma Coaching Insights will continue, with a refined focus. Kristen will be leading the charge with our PMP Exam Prep Mastery Program, supporting professionals on their journey to certification with her usual brilliance and commitment. I will join her as I’m able, in ways that honour my healing and growth.

This is not the end. It’s an intermission, a sacred pause. When I return, I will carry something deeper, more lived, more truthful. Until then, know this: the fire in me is still burning. I am not lost. I am becoming.

See you soon.
