Mentor Note #112

Mentor Note:

“The moments of greatest resistance are the moments right before transformation.” - David Ghiyam

Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

I was sitting here thinking I've got to inspire you and give you all I've got this week and then I had this overwhelming feeling to just stop and sit in the gut feels and share this wisdom.

There’s something super potent about this time of year; the last days of October hold a quiet power.

In mystical traditions, the period between October and November has always been seen as a a time where what you are manifesting is tested, refined, and readied for the year ahead.

Ancient wisdom refers to it as the final chapter of the old year, where patterns are released, energy is stretched, and your capacity to receive the next cycle is formed.

How you navigate this space whether with patience, trust, and presence, or resistance and doubt - subtly shapes the energy of your next year. This is the hidden work of transformation, happening quietly before it reveals itself in the months to come.

You can almost feel the change approaching, but it’s not quite visible yet. It’s that calm space between what’s been and what’s about to be.

This limbo dance can feel uncomfortable.

You might feel tired, reflective, or even uncertain. But often, this stillness is where the magic starts.

Life is stretching you and asking you to expand your capacity to hold more light, more clarity, more trust.

That expansion rarely feels peaceful. It often feels like waiting in the dark, sensing something is shifting but nothings is changing or taking shape.

It’s easy to want to push through or make things happen faster. But sometimes, the greatest strength lies in not forcing, in holding steady when things feel quiet.

Because the truth is - nothing is ever truly still. Energy moves before matter does. Transformation begins long before we see the results.

If you’re feeling that pause, know that it’s not a setback - it’s preparation. This is the time to stay faithful to what you’ve been creating and trust that your next season is already aligning behind the scenes.

TRUST is the most important part.

The Takeaway

The waiting is not a void - it’s the space where your next level is taking form.
Stay calm, stay open, and let this moment shape you quietly.

Most importantly, stay strong and have certainty in the uncertainty.

Something to Try

As October closes, take a few minutes each evening to reflect on how you’ve grown this year - not what you’ve achieved, but how you’ve become.
Where have you shown strength?
Where have you softened?
What have you learned to release?

This small act of awareness helps you meet the next month not with pressure, but with presence - grounded, grateful, and ready for what’s next.

I appreciate you!

Until next week,

Much love,

Sally xx

Mentor Note #113 Mentor Note: "The final stage of the healing journey is becoming the artist." - Unknown Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, This year, I made a conscious choice to go deeper with you.To move beyond mindset tips, habit stacking, and productivity hacks - and into the parts of growth that happen underneath the surface. (You know the inner work stuff not many talk about.) And you stayed.We only lost 2–3 readers through this shift - which tells me everything I need to know about you and...

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...

Mentor Note #110 Mentor Note: "It is never too late to be what you might have been." – George Eliot Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, Are you looking at your calendar thinking FAR OUT it's October? It's like July to September went by so fast, I blinked and I missed it! agh! As I felt the pressure seep in thinking shit I haven't done this and that I thought of you.It’s so easy to slip into the belief that “it’s too late.” That the window has closed for the goals you wanted to reach, the projects...
