Mentor Notes #111 - Stuck in the Same Pattern?


Mentor Note #111

Mentor Note:

"Surrender to change or suffer in a loop." – Unknown

Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

I was thinking this week about my notes and how sometimes, when you look back on personal growth, it feels so much easier than living through it in the moment.

Times of change, expansion, or elevation can feel like you’re drowning, like you’re losing yourself. They can be some of the hardest moments to navigate - even when you know they’re exactly what you need. I’ve seen it in my own life more times than I can count. I held onto situations, roles, and ways of being long past their expiry date, simply because letting go felt too uncertain.

But here’s what I learned: when we resist change, life has a way of repeating the same lesson over and over again until we finally pay attention. Sonia Choquette often teaches that our spirit is always whispering to us - guiding us toward growth. If we ignore it, the whispers get louder, and the loops become more painful.

✨True freedom comes when we surrender - not as a sign of weakness, but as a choice to trust that life is always moving us toward expansion.

The Takeaway

Change is not here to punish you - it’s here to evolve you.
When you stop fighting it, you begin to see that every ending carries the seed of a new beginning.

Most importantly, the soul’s lessons are unique to each of us. What feels like loss may actually be liberation. What looks like failure may be initiation. The loop only breaks when you finally say: I’m ready to grow.

Something to Try

Think of one area in your life where you’ve been circling the same pattern - maybe in your work, your relationships, or even your self-talk.

This week, ask yourself:
What change am I resisting?
What might open up if I surrendered to it?

Write it down. Even naming the loop is the first step in breaking it.

I appreciate you!

Until next week,

Much love,

Sally xx

PS. You don’t have to suffer in the loop. The moment you surrender, life opens. ✨

Mentor Note #118 Mentor Note: "Do not wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect." - Zoey Sayward Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, This week, I’ve been reflecting on how often we wait for inspiration, for confidence, or for conditions to feel “just right.” Watching my daughter step into her dance concert and performing a few weeks ago reminded me that the only way to create magic is to start where you are, with what you have, right now. There is never a perfect moment, and...

Mentor Note #117 Mentor Note: "Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life." - Confucius Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, This week, I’ve been immersed in my daughter’s dance concerts - tech runs, rehearsals, and all the behind-the-scenes hustle. Watching them reminded me so much of my own life as a performer. I remember the countless hours of rehearsals, the early mornings, the late nights… and yet, it never felt like work. Not once did I dread stepping on stage. Every moment of...

Mentor Note #116 Mentor Note: “Intuition is the direct messenger of the soul.” - Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I picked up the book, Women Who Run With the Wolves again this week, and it hit me- maybe more than ever, how deeply women have been taught to mistrust their own inner voice. The author, Clarissa writes about intuition as our ancient instinct, our inner wildness, our fierce knowing… and yet so many of us have learned to override...
