CEO Briefing #9 ~ May 4–10, 2026

A weekly energetic intelligence report for Spiritual CEOs navigating business, leadership, and life through aligned strategy and intuitive awareness.

Here’s your weekly energetic landscape so you can lead your life and business with alignment instead of chaos.

The Big Picture

This week will test you.

Not in a dramatic, everything-falls-apart way - but in a “you can’t ignore this anymore” kind of way.

The week starts with pressure building. You may feel pulled in multiple directions, wanting to move fast but also feeling the weight of responsibility behind your decisions.

Then midweek?

The truth hits.

Between Mercury squaring Pluto and Pluto stationing retrograde, you’re being shown - very clearly - what isn’t working, where you’re out of alignment, or what you’ve been avoiding.

And by the end of the week, you’re given the opportunity to adjust.

This isn’t a breakdown week.
This is a course correction week.

Numerology Snapshot

We’re still in a Universal Year 1, reinforcing new identity, leadership, and stepping into your next level.

But Tuesday, May 5 brings something extra:

The 5/5 Portal

This carries strong 5 energy - change, movement, freedom, and transformation.

Combined with the astrology of the day (Mercury square Pluto), this isn’t light, playful change.

This is:

“something has to shift - and you know it” energy

The kind of change that:

• breaks patterns

• challenges comfort zones

• forces growth

This is a powerful day for awareness and decision-making - if you’re willing to face what’s coming up.

Strategic Energy

This week builds, peaks, and pivots.

Early week - Pressure and urgency
There’s a push to move, decide, and act - but it can feel like too much at once.

Midweek - Truth and intensity
This is your heads up:

This may feel like a lot.

Emotional pressure, mental clarity, uncomfortable realizations - something comes into focus that requires your attention.

End of week - Recalibration and shift
You’re not meant to stay stuck in the intensity.

You’re meant to:

• process it

• understand it

• and adjust your direction

Strategic Alignment

Your job this week is simple:

Don’t avoid it.

Whatever comes up:

• the misalignment

• the conversation

• the decision

• the pattern

That’s your next level trying to get your attention.

But here’s the difference between reactive and aligned leadership:

You don’t burn everything down.

You:

• pause

• assess

• make a clear decision

• and pivot strategically

This is where real leadership is built.

Potential Friction

This week can bring:

• emotional overwhelm (Mars square Jupiter)

• power struggles or internal pressure (Mercury square Pluto)

• heaviness or intensity (Pluto stationing retrograde)

• frustration when things don’t feel aligned

And again - this is your reminder:

This may feel like a lot.

But it’s not random.

It’s pointing you directly to what needs to change.

Aligned Actions

1. Face one truth you’ve been avoiding - directly.

2. Make a decision based on clarity, not comfort.

3. Adjust your strategy instead of forcing what isn’t working.

4. Step back before reacting - then respond intentionally.

5. Use the end of the week to recalibrate and refine your direction.

6. Take care of yourself while you process - hydrate, eat, and step away when needed.

Intuitive Note

Not all growth feels good.

Sometimes it feels like pressure.
Like intensity.
Like something you didn’t want to deal with yet.

But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

It means you’re being shown something important.

This week isn’t here to throw you off.

It’s here to make sure you’re building something that actually aligns with who you’re becoming.

Closing Note

Before we wrap up, a quick note.

This week, I’m not just talking about this energy - I’m in it.

I’m finishing up the final tweaks on Backwards to BadAss, and (weather permitting) recording the instruction videos. At the same time, I’m wrapping up my new Do The Dang Thang website - the one that actually feels like me.

And I’ll be honest … this didn’t come from strategy alone.

It came from some real, uncomfortable, sit-with-it moments. The kind where you stop asking what you should do or what you’re qualified to do - and start asking what you actually want and were called to do.

That meant trusting my gut.
Making a few tough calls.
And getting honest about where I’ve still been holding back.

Because as open as I am, I had to face the fact that I still filter that for the general public.

So … heads up.

This next version of me - and this brand - probably isn’t what you’re expecting.

But it is what’s aligned.

Also - quick reminder (because this kind of week can pull you in deep):

Hydrate. Eat. Step away when needed.

Especially if you’re a little neuro spicy like me - it’s real easy to get stuck in your head or go full tunnel vision when things feel intense.

Stay grounded. Stay aware. Keep moving.

Lead boldly. Align deeply. Do the Dang Thang.
