The Quiet Power of August

August has shifted. It used to be the height of summer fun—vacations, late sunsets, beach days in full swing. Now, it’s become something else entirely. Kids return to school while the sun still blazes, and suddenly we’re thrust into a new rhythm before autumn even arrives. It’s not summer anymore… but it’s not fall yet either.

And that’s exactly how life can feel sometimes.
Like a hallway between what was and what’s next.

You might be saying:

“I’m not who I used to be… but I’m not quite who I’m becoming.”

That’s the in-between. It’s a transition season—and yes, it can feel disorienting.

Feeling “Stuck” Isn’t a Flaw—It’s a Bridge

When life feels stuck, it doesn’t always mean you’re doing something wrong. Maybe you’re simply being shaped for something new. You’re not stuck. You’re transitioning.

You might feel it in your career or calling.
You might feel it in motherhood, marriage, or caregiving.
You might feel it in your body, your mindset, or your health.

And the hard truth? Sometimes we can’t move forward professionally because of what’s happening personally—and vice versa. It’s okay to name that. Just know—you’re already walking the bridge from who you were to who you’re becoming.

What to Do in the Middle Season

Here’s what I shared in one of my Tuesday Tea with Evelyn episodes. It’s what I’m reminding myself too:

💜 Give yourself grace.
There’s no perfect timeline. There’s only your journey. Trust that the small steps, the slow shifts, and even the mundane daily routines are doing deep, essential work.

💜 Reflect—but stay present.
Yes, look back on where you’ve been. Dream ahead toward what’s coming. But stay anchored in where you are. Right here is where growth begins.

💜 Let the mundane matter.
Folding laundry, cooking meals, driving to appointments—these quiet acts of service are shaping your character and preparing your life.

💜 Strengthen what’s needed next.
Maybe this is a season to get your mind strong. Or your body strong. Or your spirit centered. What you’re building now is for the life you’re growing into.

You’re Not Alone—You’re Becoming

I know firsthand what it feels like to long for more… and to also feel like you just can’t quite get there yet. But what if “there” isn’t the point?

What if right now—this middle, messy, seemingly ordinary moment—is actually the platform for your transformation?

You’re not falling behind. You’re becoming more you. This time is your bridge from your past self to the amazing future you.
