The Plot Twist Has Arrived! —Now What?

So, you just got a letter. Not a love letter. Not an invitation to something fabulous. Nope—one of those letters. The kind that makes your stomach drop, your brain race, and your coffee suddenly taste like cardboard. Whether it’s a “thanks, but it’s time to go” nudge from the powers that be or an unexpected career curveball, here you are—standing at a crossroads, staring at your next move like a deer in the headlights.

But hold up. What if this isn’t the end of your story? What if it’s the ultimate plot twist, setting you up for something better? Here’s how to take your power back, trust your instincts, and turn this moment into the adventure of a lifetime.

Step One: Flip the Script

Right now, it might feel like you’re losing control. But let’s be real—were you ever actually in control of that system? Instead of seeing this as a door slammed shut, what if it’s the universe handing you a golden ticket to something way more aligned with who you are now?

Dreamers don’t get stuck in endings. They rewrite them.

Step Two: Instinct Is Your North Star

Forget the fear spirals. Your gut has been whispering (or maybe screaming) at you for a while now. Maybe it’s been nudging you toward a side project, a business idea, a new career, or just a different way of living.

Create space for a Pause. Breathe. Ask yourself:

•         If fear wasn’t a factor, what would I do next?

•         What excites me, even just a little?

•         Where do I feel pulled—not pushed?

You already have the answers. Trust them.

Step Three: Permission to Play

Let’s break a myth real quick!!     Adulthood does not mean signing up for a lifetime of stress and seriousness. If you had full creative control over your life (newsflash: you do), what would you explore?

This is your chance to be playfully curious about your next move. Try things on. Experiment. What if, instead of feeling forced to “figure it all out,” you let yourself follow what lights you up for a while?

Play is where innovation happens. It’s also where you remember who you are outside of a job title.

Step Four: Power Move #1—Choice

You may not have chosen this letter, but you do choose your response. And that, my friend, is where all your power lives.

You can panic (understandable, and taxing on the body).   Or you can take a deep breath and ask yourself what you REALLY want next and now realize—this moment is proof that you are not meant to be boxed in.

If you read this far- Here you are, right here, right now.    What will you powerfully choose and step into for your next adventure? A bold career move? A quiet reinvention? A leap into the unknown that finally feels like you?

Whatever it is, trust that you are ready. Because you are.  I’m cheering you on!   I believe in the greatness that we each have and the power of transformation no matter how things may feel or look now.  Inside of you is the solution for you.
