Rediscovering My Purpose: How Quiet Seasons Lead to Growth

Dear Village,

As I enter a new season of stillness, I am ready to share what I’ve been doing and what is unfolding in my life. I am reminded that growth happens not in constant motion, but in quiet recalibration when we pause, rest, and listen.

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself

In the last few months, I have been slowing down to consider what I need in this season: more rest, which began with a week off from work to settle in for the season ; more joy, which has included d playing inspirational music around the house and office, exploring new foods, and picking up a good book every now and again; and last but not least of them all, developing more intimacy with God through prayer, applying forgiveness more abundantly, and loving others more radically.

As these things have been more intentional, so has the overflow of gifts. Just recently, I was awarded a scholarship to study brain health and neuroscience with a focus on faith. By the end of this summer, I will be a certified brain health coach, ready to bring new insights into our conversations here.

As I keep in mind that to be blessed with much means that serving more will continue to be a requirement in the kingdom, I have continued nurturing a newsletter for the past two years on LinkedIn called Adulting Today, now with nearly 350 subscribers. My focus has been on supporting the sandwich generation—those who care for both children and aging parents at the same time. This is the heart behind my growing caregiving blog, where I share practical tools and faith-centered wisdom for millennials and GenXers.

At the same time that I’ve been writing about caregiving, I’ve also been coaching caregivers; something that has brought me great joy and fulfillment. Soon, I will share tools to help folks navigate tough conversations with aging loved ones—something none of us wants to do, but must do if we’re going to remain in our lives while also helping our aging loved ones remain well and safe in the years ahead….

There’s much more work to do, Village, but in the meantime,

             If this season is stirring something in you, I invite you to stay connected. Visit the blog at www.lifecoachasha.com and join the conversation  Let me know how I can support you. 

Until then Village,

Asha…

What This Season Has Been Teaching Me

There is a saying that sometimes the most transformative seasons are the quiet ones, when we step back, recalibrate, and let God lead. As I return to the blog after some time away, I realize just how much has shifted in my world.

To be honest, I have been doing way too much.

I set a goal to impact hundreds, maybe even thousands of people globally with authenticity, consistency, and purpose. But somewhere along the way, I realized that constantly pouring out without slowing down can quietly pull us away from the very rest and alignment we need to sustain the vision.

This season has required me to make difficult but necessary adjustments. I have had to reevaluate relationships, create healthier boundaries, and release dynamics that no longer felt aligned. From navigating entitled family relationships to adjusting to caregiving responsibilities and expanding the support I receive in my business, life has been stretching me in new ways.

At the same time, I have also been learning how to grow as a leader without building unhealthy dependence on work or the people around me. Mentoring junior colleagues while they find their own rhythm has been rewarding, but it has also reminded me that leadership should not cost us our joy, our softness, or our humanity.

So I have been returning to rest.

Returning to pleasure.

Returning to fun.

Not as an escape, but as a form of healing and obedience.

More than anything, I have been allowing God to define my life on His terms instead of my own expectations. That process has sharpened me deeply. It has humbled me, stretched me, and also blessed me with abundance in ways I am still processing.

I have watched God multiply seeds in both my business and personal life, and I know there is still more unfolding that I will share in time.

One thing I continue learning is this: growth is not always loud. Sometimes the most meaningful transformations happen quietly, behind the scenes, while we are simply trying to stay faithful to the process.

So Village, I would love to hear from you.

For my OG readers who have been here through the years, and for the newer faces who joined along the way, what has life been serving up for you lately?

Has this season stretched you? Softened you? Redirected you? Surprised you?

Drop me a line at lifecoachasha@gmail.com or stay connected through the blog and let me know. We are all navigating something, and I truly believe we are not meant to do it alone.

And if there is any way I can support you in this current season of your life, I would love to know that too.

Until then Village,

Asha…
