Joyful Focus Advent Calendar Introduction The countdown begins! Tomorrow, we’ll open the first day of our Advent journey together. I’m so excited to share this season with you as we take time to reflect, grow, and make space for what truly matters during the holidays. This journey isn’t about adding more to your already full plate. It’s about finding peace, joy, and love amidst the busyness of the season. It’s about helping you get what you want out of the holidays—whether that’s more...

Terrie Power Coaching When Thanksgiving starts to look different This year, our Thanksgiving looks different. Maybe yours does too. We’re in that new phase of life where the “kids” are married, engaged, working real jobs with real schedules, juggling in-laws, holidays, and responsibilities of their own. And this year, all of that showed up in our plans. We’re still having our traditional Thanksgiving meal on Thursday, but not everyone can be here. Some are working. Some are with other family....

Terrie Power Coaching Why My Routines Are Wobbling (and What’s Helping) We have just one week,Reader, then it starts... This season has already started tugging at my routines, and I’m guessing I’m not the only one feeling it. Maybe it’s the fuller schedules.Maybe it’s the shifting emotions.Maybe it’s the quieter corners of life brushing up against the loudness of the holidays.Whatever the reason, I’ve noticed myself skipping the tiny habits that normally help me feel like… me. And if you’ve...

Terrie Power Coaching I Didn’t Expect to Learn This While Driving to Work I saw something this week that made me laugh.And roll my eyes.At myself. I was driving to work and saw a construction crew tearing up a road they had just finished.Like… brand new.Still smooth.Still pretty. And there they were.Digging it up again to fix the pipes underneath. My first thought was, “Why are we rebuilding something we literally just built?”My second thought was, “Okay Terrie, when have you done this?”...

Terrie Power Coaching The Enneagram, End-of-Year Pressure, and Peace in the Push I see it each November: that feeling of pressure.Wanting things to be different. You know what I mean. That realization that another year is coming to a close and you’re not sure you’re ready (or you’re certain you’re not). I had that feeling the other day.Maybe it’s the darkness that comes with the time change or the warm weather we’re still having here in Texas.But I started to feel the pressure to do it all....

Terrie Power Coaching My week went off the rails… but I didn’t. Last week was one of those “how is all this happening at once?” kind of weeks. Client meetings stacked on top of each other.Progress reports due.A new group meeting.A workshop to present.A podcast release.A summit appearance.Oh, and an escape room to design for our Halloween party because my “simple party” ideas never stay simple. Then I got sick. And this was all while prepping to launch my next cohort. At one point I stared at...

Terrie Power Coaching Energy, Environment, and the Art of the Small Reset Here’s something I’ve learned about myself: I don’t need my environment to be perfect... but if I let it completely fall apart? Yikes. I love organization. Give me labeled bins, color-coded folders, and a planner that looks ready for Instagram, and I’m in my happy place. But as a Type Nine, I can also live with chaos a little too long. I’ll say things like, “It’s fine, I know where everything is,” until suddenly I’m...

Terrie Power Coaching Finding Joy and Alignment in Work, Money, and Hobbies Lately, I’ve noticed something about myself.When I’m working on my business or even “having fun,” I can slip into overdrive without realizing it. I start listening to that inner voice that says, “You should do this. You should do that.”And before I know it, I’m running on autopilot instead of alignment. Sound familiar? We’re all busy building, earning, creating, and planning, but sometimes the momentum becomes noise....

Terrie Power Coaching It’s still 90° in Texas—but your connections might be cooling off. Everywhere I go lately, I hear the same phrase on repeat: “It’s just such a busy season.” It’s like the official soundtrack of October. Even though it’s still hot here in Texas, the pumpkin spice and Halloween decorations are doing their best to convince us it’s fall. But between full calendars, endless to-do lists, and all the noise of “getting things done,” connection is often the first thing that slips...
