Don’t Miss the Shift to Summer


Terrie Power Coaching

You Don’t Have to Choose Between Fun and Progress

It's official! Summer has begun for me.

And what that means is a different rhythm. I’m taking a break from my full-time role as a speech-language pathologist, which means I get to dedicate more time to Terrie Power Coaching.

But when I first started thinking about how I wanted to spend this summer, I found myself bouncing between two extremes:

Do absolutely nothing and just have fun…

or

Dive into 30 - 40 hours a week prepping and planning to make this the biggest season yet for Terrie Power Coaching.

I worried. I wavered. I even tried to choose one over the other.

But after some quiet time, prayer, and reflection, I realized something important:

I don’t have to choose.

That question—how do I want this summer to feel?—kept circling back to a simple truth: I want more than either/or. I want a summer that reflects all the things that matter to me.

I realized I could create a rhythm that blends joy, peace, and purposeful productivity in a way that feels authentic to who I am.

Summer is here (or almost!), and for many of us, it’s tempting to either:

Completely unplug and drift...

Or

Keep hustling, only to feel like we missed it when it’s over.

But what if there’s a third way?

A way to stay grounded in your goals while living lightly…
A way to breathe, play, reflect, and grow—not just work or rest, but a rhythm that gives life back to you.

A way to feel the way you want to feel.

For me, summer doesn’t just mean slowing down; it means making space for my kind of fun.

It’s spontaneous weekends away and road trips.
It’s playing board games or trying to solve an escape room with my boys.
It’s clearing out a closet or reorganizing the kitchen—because, oddly enough, that brings me joy.
It’s laughter, little wins, and living with intention—even when I’m resting.

This summer, I’m inviting you to explore what it might look like to intentionally build in:

💛 Joy – not forced fun, but moments that make your heart smile.
🌿 Peace – quiet confidence, margin in your days, time to exhale.
🔥 Purposeful Productivity – not pressure, but progress.

Not hustle.

Not chaos.

Just intentional living that reflects your real life and what you value most.

Let’s Talk About Your Summer

Each of us has a unique rhythm—different things that restore us, energize us, or give us a sense of meaning. What feels like peace to one person may feel like pressure to another. And what looks like productivity to you may not check a single traditional box—and that’s okay.

The goal isn’t to match someone else’s summer vibe. It’s to find your own version of joy, peace, and meaningful progress.

So, whether it’s:

  • A road trip that makes you feel free
  • A clean closet that brings a sense of order
  • Long walks, early mornings, afternoon naps, or creative projects
  • More play, more presence, or less pressure

You get to decide what your summer rhythm looks like.

So here’s your permission slip to fill this summer with moments that feel like you.

What does “your kind of summer fun” look like? Vacations, puzzles, purging the junk drawer, working hard on your goals? Hit reply and tell me—I’d love to know! I read all my responses because I love hearing from you.

With joy and intention,
Terrie

Terrie Power Coaching The Goals You Don’t Set Might Be Holding You Back Several years ago, I realized something about the way I set goals—and I’ve seen others express it as well. I used to only set goals around things I could control. Things like: how many emails I’d send, how many hours I’d work, How many days I’d work out. I avoided setting goals like: “I’ll sign 5 new clients.” “I’ll earn $10K this quarter.” “I’ll lose 10 pounds.” Why? Because those outcomes depend on other people. And I...

Terrie Power Coaching You’re more than who others think you are. To one person, you’re the steady one. To another, the dreamer. To someone else, the fixer… the peacemaker… the bold one. Everyone sees you through their own lens.And over time, it’s easy to forget:You’re allowed to be more than their version of you. We carry stories about ourselves that were handed to us—through family, work, friendships, or past experiences. Some of those stories feel true. Others? They box us in. They keep us...

Terrie Power Coaching What are my goals??? I was sitting there, heart pounding. I knew the answer, but my mind was completely blank. Someone had asked, "So, what goals do you have for this quarter?" Normally, I'm the one asking that question! I remembered coaching a group a couple of years ago. I passionately emphasized the importance of knowing your goals clearly. Many had admitted they couldn't recall theirs. So, I had stressed how critical it was to know your goals. Yet, there I was,...
