Where Did My Momentum Go? Reclaiming Power in the Pause | EP 526
đ Mentioned on this Episode: Show Notes đ
Youâve done the work. Built the thing. Hit those high 5-figure to 7-figure marks and yet, lately, the energy feels different. The fire that used to push you forward? Duller. The wins? Quieter. If youâre wondering where your momentum went, youâre not alone.
In this minisode, Iâm sharing what this stall might really be trying to tell you. From shifting client behavior to the rise of AI reshaping how we connect and market, the landscape has changed and itâs asking something different of you. This is the invitation seasoned leaders are being handed right now: to pause, refine, and realign before the next wave.
Iâll also introduce the Vision Mapâ˘. This is the tool I guide my clients through when theyâre ready to move forward without pressure and from precision. This is your next step toward aligned momentum. One that feels lighter, clearer, and built to last.

You've built a business that's meaningful, maybe even multi, six or seven figures, and yet lately, something's shifted. The momentum feels flatter. The old way of pushing, not landing. Everyone around you seems louder, faster, shinier. But here's what I've seen over and over the most successful founders don't chase the noise, they pause, they refine, and when they do, they create from clarity, and that clarity makes them unstoppable. In this episode, I will show you how to shift out of the stall and into real traction again without burning yourself out.
Sheila:Hi, welcome to the podcast. I'm Sheila Botelho and I believe success starts from the inside out, and you're listening to a mini-sode designed to help you live into what lights you up this week. So, as we mentioned, you've built something real. You've shown up consistently. You've moved through seasons where most people would have tapped out. So right now you're wondering where did my momentum go? You're not alone. This is one of the most common patterns that I see in the founders that I coach, especially the ones who've grown quickly in the past three to five years. So much has shifted. You're not doing anything wrong. In fact, this moment, this slowdown you may be feeling, is often the first sign of your next level, trying to break through. We've been through major market shifts. Tech has changed how people consume, buy and trust, and AI is cutting through the noise, but it's also making a lot of other things feel noisier. And your clients, well, they've evolved too. They want depth, they want resonance, they want to know you're not just selling them what worked in 2021. So, of course, you're feeling it.
Sheila:What I want to offer you today is a reframe. This is not a breakdown. It's a briefing. Your system is letting you know what got you here will not take you to the next place you're meant to go. It's also where the inner work comes back into focus, because when momentum slows, it can either mean you're out of alignment or you're exactly in alignment and the world just has not caught up yet. Both require space, both require recalibration.
Sheila:I recently watched a client of mine, a founder, who's been scaling for seven years and she hit this exact wall. She was getting bored. Actually, she was brilliant, but she hadn't really taken a look to see how her vision has shifted, clearly, holistically. Not only did her clarity return, but also her fire returned. She trimmed her offers, delegated smarter and in just one month, her numbers started to bounce back with less effort, and that is why I created the Vision Map, a tool I use with clients to shift from hustle mode to intention-led growth. In less than a week, you'll uncover what is truly yours to focus on now, and not what worked then, not what others say is trending, but what's aligned with your next evolution. So you can grab that via the link in the show notes or in the description below, and it's waiting for you there. Thank you for listening. If this episode landed with you, share it with another founder who's been quietly questioning where their spark went, and I'll see you in a few days on the next episode. Thank you.
