Hi, I'm Terrie Power.

I Didn't Expect This Conversation to Make Me Cry

Sometimes the best update isn't adding something new.

Terrie Power Coaching

…

I've been thinking about something this week.

Isn't it funny how we're so quick to blame ourselves when something stops working?

Our first thought is usually, "I need to try harder." We rarely stop to ask if life has changed.

And honestly...life changes all the time.

Maybe the kids are back in school. Maybe your business has grown. Maybe you're caring for aging parents. Or maybe your priorities have quietly shifted over the last few months. Of course your rhythms would need an update.

That isn't failure. That's life.

Before you start adding more to your plate this week, pull out your calendar and take a fresh look.

Ask yourself:

  • Does this still reflect what matters most?
  • What no longer fits this season?
  • What's one small change that would make life feel a little lighter?

I've found that meaningful progress doesn't usually come from doing more.

It comes from making sure your rhythms still fit the life you're living today.

Sometimes we're simply too close to our own lives to see what's obvious. Another perspective can make all the difference.

One More Thing...

I did something recently that surprised me.

I've been refreshing my wardrobe because Terrie Power Coaching has grown, and honestly...I've grown too.

While I was talking with my coach, I heard myself say something I'd never said before:

“I am not leaving out who I am now.”

That stopped me.

It wasn't really about clothes.

It was about recognizing that I'd grown into this season, but part of me was still showing up like the old version of Terrie.

So yes, I bought a few new things. But first, I had to make room for them.

Turns out, closets aren't the only things that need updating.

Sometimes our rhythms, our expectations, and even the way we see ourselves need a little room to catch up with the person we're becoming.

Have a wonderful week!

Terrie

P.S. If this email has you thinking, "I know something needs to change, but I'm not sure what," I'd love to help.

A Momentum Conversation is simply a chance to think out loud together, uncover what's changed, and discover your next right step.

You don't have to figure it out alone.

In the spirit of transparency, I use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to help research, organize ideas, and create first drafts. The stories, coaching frameworks, experiences, and insights are my own, and every email is personally reviewed and edited by me before it lands in your inbox.

Choose It Again Terrie Power Coaching … I believe there is something powerful about looking at a goal you almost abandoned and choosing it again. Not because the year went according to plan. Not because you suddenly have more time, energy, or certainty. Because it still matters. I have two big goals left this year. My business goal is going well, but it will not happen accidentally. Reaching it will require focus, excitement, and actions that support where I want to go. My health goal has...

Check the Dashboard Terrie Power Coaching … You almost blamed the wrong thing If the check-engine light came on in your car, would you yell at the car to try harder? Probably not. You would not turn on a motivational podcast, press harder on the gas, and tell the car it must not want the destination badly enough. That would be ridiculous. Yet I have basically done this to myself. Something feels harder than expected, and instead of asking what changed, I assume I need more discipline. Wake up...

The Task Before the Task Terrie Power Coaching … My house is cleaner because I did not want to write this email. There. I said it. Every time I thought about sitting down to write, my brain offered another idea. I can do it later. The house needs attention. It is too hot to think. At one point, I was not even cleaning. I was just staring. The funny part is that I wanted to write the email. But before I could write it, I had to make several decisions about September. That was the task hiding...
