As the season shifts, so does the soul,
We’ve crossed the threshold into October.
The air is shifting.
The light is softening.
And maybe, you are too.
This is the season of in-between—when things are no longer what they were, but not yet what they will be.
It’s the liminal space. The sacred pause. The space where deep becoming takes shape.
And in these spaces, it’s not clarity we’re called to first—it’s presence.
Because before you know where you’re going, you must first be willing to arrive—fully, honestly, as you are.
What’s Stirring in the In-Between?
In our last edition, we explored how your practice is your message—a reminder that your daily rhythm tells the truth of what you value, even when your words don’t.
This month, the invitation is to slow down enough to listen.
Not just to what you want next, but to what your soul is whispering now.
Because even the quiet is full of instruction.
And sometimes, the most sacred work you’ll do is in the space between endings and beginnings.
Now Streaming: Soul Sync Sessions
Rest, Intuition, and the Art of Becoming
In our latest episode, I sit down with Sunya Folayan, a rest technologist, artist, and truth-teller, to explore what it looks like to follow intuition and create community from a place of restoration.
We talk about:
The deep courage it takes to let go
The healing that comes from creating space
And how new life emerges when we stop chasing and start listening
Coming Next Week on Soul Sync…
In Episode 4, I sit down with Dr. Tawainna Houston, a Naturopath and author of Black Wellness Barriers, for a powerful conversation on the multifaceted nature of health, the importance of spiritual grounding, and personal journeys of overcoming challenges.
You won’t want to miss this one.
She brings truth, fire, and healing.
Stay tuned—it drops next week.

Women Don’t Retire Roundtable: Join Table 1
There comes a moment when you know: the old ways of being are too small, and the next chapter deserves more intention.
If you’re in a season of transition—personally, professionally, or spiritually—consider this your invitation to pause, realign, and reimagine in community.
The Women Don’t Retire Roundtable is a curated, intimate experience for women of color navigating “what’s next” with soul.
At Table 1, we’ll gather around core areas of well-being that too often go unspoken in traditional spaces.
Real talk.
Restorative practices.
Soulful guidance.
And room to design a future rooted in who you really are now.
🪑 Seats are limited to 11, and the first roundtable opens this month.

Reflection Prompt
This week, I invite you to sit with this:
What am I holding onto that no longer fits the rhythm of who I’m becoming?
What’s rising quietly in the space I’ve cleared?
Can I resist the urge to rush into clarity—and choose presence instead?
Liminal seasons are fertile ground.
Stay with it.
Stay with you.
Share the Rhythm
If today’s message resonated, pass it along.
Here are three soulful ways to stay in rhythm together:
Reply and tell me what’s stirring in your in-between
Forward this to a sister navigating her own next chapter
Refer a friend → and invite them to join this space of sacred reflection and becoming
Let’s keep choosing presence over pressure.
With grace and groundedness,
Pam
