The Clarity Gap

This issue is inspired by a pattern I’ve seen in dozens of high-achieving women and lived through myself:

You know something’s off.
You feel it in your body.
You start questioning everything.
But you can’t name the next move.

It’s not indecision.
It’s the clarity gap.

If you’ve been hovering in that space… not stuck, but not moving - this one’s for you.

WHAT

Let’s redefine what it means to be “stuck.”

It’s not laziness.
It’s not fear.
It’s not failure.

It’s the moment between knowing something’s misaligned… and knowing what to do about it.

It’s the pause between awareness and action.
And it’s sacred.

Because rushing through it leads to reactive decisions.
But honoring it leads to aligned ones.

WHY

High-achieving women are conditioned to move fast.
To fix.
To perform.
To stay ahead.

But clarity doesn’t come from urgency.
It comes from pause.
From reflection.
From asking:
“What do I want now, not what I used to want?”

And that question is confronting.
Because it often reveals that the version of you who built this life…
Is not the version of you who wants to keep living it.

HOW

Let me tell you about a client I’ll call E.
Director-level. Brilliant. Respected.
But she came to me saying:

She wasn’t burned out.
She was misaligned.
And she was trying to solve a problem she hadn’t named.

So we slowed down.

Week 1: We mapped her energy.
Not her calendar, her energy.
Where did she feel most alive? Most drained? Most invisible?

Week 2: We decoded her clarity signal.
That subtle inner knowing that says:

Week 3: She said:

That moment cracked something open.

She didn’t burn it all down.
She made one aligned shift:
She stopped saying yes to projects that didn’t reflect her values.
She started speaking up in meetings with her real voice, not her polished one.
She redefined her leadership identity from “dependable” to “disruptive.”

And within 6 weeks, she wasn’t floating anymore.
She was leading.

If you’ve been hovering in the clarity gap
Not stuck, but not moving
Not burned out, but not lit up
You’re not alone.

Reply to this email with “I’m in the gap.”
No need to explain.
Just name it.
And I’ll be here to walk through it with you.

Because clarity isn’t a lightning bolt.
It’s a quiet return to yourself.

Until next week,
