I've witnessed something happen with almost every high-achieving woman I've worked with recently, no matter their niche, revenue, or stage of business. In this mini sode, I'm going to help you recognize whether this shift is happening in you too and what it signals about your next chapter. Imagine leading your business with clarity, confidence, and capacity without sacrificing your body, your relationships, or your softness along the way. Hi, welcome to the podcast. I'm Sheila Botelho, and I believe true success is built from the inside out. This mini soda is designed to help you live into what lights you up this week. Today, I want to talk about something that's been showing up in so many places, in my clients, in my conversations, in the women that I've mentored, and honestly, in my own life as I've moved through this year. And it's the moment when someone who operates at a very high capacity realizes they've been living from the part of themselves that knows how to survive. And now they're ready to live from that part that knows how to expand. This is the crossroads almost every woman I coach meets right before a breakthrough. And I've been watching it unfold again this week. Not in small ways, but these are big identity-shaping things that I've been witnessing. I've sat across women who've built incredible careers, women who hold their families together, women who lead with heart and excellence. And they're exhausted from being the capable one. And when they sit with me, their shoulders drop, their breath deepens, and their voice softens. This is when the truth drops. It begins to be revealed that they start saying things like, I want to lead differently. I want to feel like myself again. I want to trust my own timing. I want to stop abandoning myself for everything and everyone. And it's often a surprise because you would never imagine this is going on from the outside looking in. But when they actually utter these words, this is the moment that my soul lights up because this is where my work truly begins. See, I've learned specifically over the last five years that my work really shines in guiding high capacity women home to themselves. Women who have spent decades performing strength, but are now ready to embody it from a softer, cleaner place. And I'm sharing this here because it's been so loud inside my sessions recently that I know it's collective. There is a very real identity shift happening as we close out 2025. I feel it, I witness it, and I hear about it. So many women are finally ready to shed the overfunctioning, the pushing, the bracing for what's next, the I'll hold it all energy. And they're learning something new. They're learning how to listen to their body, how to honor the pace, how to build a business from alignment instead of the adrenaline that has fueled them all along, and how to rise without abandoning their softness. It's a supreme challenge in the world we find ourselves living in. This is where strategy and self-trust meet, where feminine leadership stops being just a nice idea and it becomes an embodied way of living. And truly, I'm not speaking from theory. This year initiated me in ways I didn't expect. The move, the transitions I experienced, the grief layers that resurfaced that I thought I had already dealt with, the patterns I had to unhook from, the deepening of my marriage through rewriting our relationship contract, the way my body asked me, sometimes demanded, that I slow down and lead differently. All of it shaped me, and it all softened me as well. This really matured the way that I work, the way I coach, and the way I build. And I know now, without question, that my next era is about helping women hold their expansion without losing themselves. Because what I've found is your next level doesn't need to come from pushing harder. It truly means coming home to yourself. And from learning the cues that your body gives you, from entering into emotional adulthood, and from letting your vision be bigger than the patterns that you've outgrown. That's really the heart of today's mini sode. As we move into December, your soul is already preparing for 2026. Your old identity is a loosening, and the new one may not have fully landed yet. And we're in that space in between that can feel kind of wobbly and exciting, a little disorienting and powerful all at once. And if you feel that, it's kind of a cool place to be. There's something here for you to explore. And in the coming days, I'm going to be taking you deeper into this conversation, into identity, into vision, emotional adulthood, and the relational patterns that influence your expansion, as well as into the clarity that arrives when you stop abandoning your own wisdom. Because 2026 is going to require a steadier, clearer, more grounded version of you, not a busier version, not a push harder version, a woman who trusts herself, a person who honors their seasons, a woman who leads from her center, a woman who knows exactly what she's building and why. And next week, I'm hosting something very special that's going to help anchor all of this. You can find all the details in the show notes. But for now, just take a breath. Feel your body and where it's pointing you. Noticing what's loosening and what's strengthening. You're becoming someone new and it's happening right on time. Thanks so much for listening. And if this resonated with you, send me the word vision on Instagram or LinkedIn at Sheila ABITO or tap the link in the show notes to text me, and I'll send you the details for what's happening so you can step into your next season with calm confidence. And I will see you on the next episode.
