You are allowed to rest here.
Not just because you’ve worked hard.
Not because the calendar is ending.
But because your soul is worthy of pause—without needing to prove a thing.
As we turn the final pages of the year, there is no need to rush to the finish line.
Let this be a season of quiet tending, not performance.
Let your becoming arrive at its own pace.
You don’t have to hustle to be whole.
You can rest your way into the next chapter.
Roundtable 1: A Sacred Circle Comes to a Close
Last week, we completed our very first Women Don’t Retire Roundtable.
Four powerful sessions. Soulful women.
And one resounding truth: you don’t have to navigate transitions alone.
Together, we explored:
What it means to release roles and rewrite rhythms
The emotional weight of “what’s next”
How to reimagine purpose, identity, and legacy without pressure
It wasn’t a program.
It was a circle.
A return to what’s real.
Extend the Table: Share the Space, Widen the Circle
The conversations we begin inside the community are not meant to stay behind closed doors.
They’re meant to ripple.
If this space—The Pulse, Letters to My Sisters, Soul Sync Sessions—has resonated with you, I’d love your help extending the table.
Now you can invite others into this circle through Substack referrals.
Here’s how it works:
Share your personal referral link (automatically included in every post + email footer)
Invite sisters, friends, colleagues, or soul-seekers who are navigating their own version of “what’s next”
As your referrals grow, you’ll unlock free months and special bonuses—including audio gifts, journal pages, and early access to new offerings
This isn’t just about numbers.
It’s about building a community of reflection, restoration, and resonance.
P.S. In 2026, we’ll be opening the Roundtable Host Program—a space for past Roundtable participants to help bring more women to the table. If that stirs something in you… stay close.
Perfect! Here’s a new section for the November 28 edition of The Pulse, written in your soulful, invitational voice, centered around Roundtable 2 enrollment (starting Jan 6) and a warm call to share the experience with others.
You can place this section right after the “Extend the Table” referral callout or as a standalone highlight mid-newsletter.
Roundtable 2 Begins January 6: Come Sit With Us
The table is being set again.
Roundtable 2 begins the week of January 6 at 7 pm ET—and if you’ve been feeling the quiet pull toward deeper reflection, soulful community, and a reimagined rhythm for the year ahead… this is your invitation.
This is more than a workshop.
It’s a circle for women of color navigating what comes after leadership, titles, and the expectations we’ve carried for too long.
In four sessions, we explore:
What it means to move from role to rhythm
How to shed what no longer serves
How to align with joy, purpose, and legacy on your terms

In Case You Missed It:
The Art of the Pause
Soul Sync Sessions | Episode 7 Recap
Whether the holidays bring joy, pressure, grief, or change for you-this conversation offers a softer path through the season
This solo episode kicked off SoulSync with a simple yet sacred truth:
The pause is not the absence of progress.
It’s the soil where your next chapter takes root.
In this episode, I reflect on how pausing allowed me to hear my soul again—and how you can reclaim stillness as part of your rhythm, not an interruption.
Absolutely! Here’s a soulful and compelling “Give a Gift Subscription” CTA aligned with your voice and the heart of Letters to My Sisters and The Pulse:
Give the Gift of Reflection

And sometimes, that’s the most meaningful gift of all.

A Small Ask: Leave a Review for the Book
If Women Don’t Retire made you pause, breathe, or feel less alone, I’d love to hear from you.
Your review doesn’t need to be long.
A few words can help another woman say: this is for me.
Thank you for walking this spiral path with me.
Reflection Prompt: What’s Still Unfolding?
Before December begins, give yourself space to ask:
What do I still need to tend to before this year ends?
What am I no longer performing—and what’s emerging in its place?
What would it look like to end the year in rhythm, not rush?
A soft ending is still a strong one.
Stay in Rhythm

With care and breath,
