When the Universe Pulls the Plug (So You Finally Listen)
“Sometimes the universe doesn’t whisper - it shuts the power off.”
There’s a difference between knowing you need to slow down and actually doing it.
Lately, the universe has been sending me that message from every possible direction. And to be fair, I really have slowed wayyyyy down compared to where I used to live - but apparently, it still wasn’t quite enough.
Yesterday the wind picked up, the power started flickering, and then my computer shut down completely. And nope… we’re not playing risky games with technology around here. With the power dipping in and out, the Wi-Fi followed, which meant even my usual “I’ll just knock a few things out on my phone” workaround wasn’t an option.
So the universe made the decision for me.
Instead of forcing productivity, I leaned into what was actually available. I slowed my body down. I spent time with my family. I did some deep stretching while the house was empty - the kind where your nervous system finally unclenches instead of staying on high alert. When the boys came home from town, I ran out to grab the mail, picked up the awesome new desk chair my youngest got me for Christmas, put it together, and gave the office a good tidy.
Nothing dramatic. Nothing loud.
Just restorative.
This morning, I’m officially back at it - but with a very different energy.
There’s clarity that wasn’t there a few days ago. Certain directions feel obvious instead of foggy. The people I need to connect with are suddenly clear. Retreat energy is rising again, and I’m genuinely excited for this weekend’s big content build for our guests - the kind of excitement that comes from alignment, not pressure.
Today is what I call a gentle grind. A few really solid one-on-one calls. Getting everyone’s content wrapped up for next week. Moving forward steadily without rushing. Working with my energy instead of trying to overpower it.
I talk a lot about slowing down to speed up… and damn, it feels good when I actually take my own advice - even if the universe has to intervene and pull the plug to make sure I do. 😉

Ready to Move Forward—Aligned?
If you’re feeling that nudge to pause, reset, and realign instead of forcing your next move:
👉 Book a FREE consultation call and let’s talk through where you are and where your energy actually wants to go.
And if you’ve been feeling the pull toward something deeper this year:
👉 Early Bird pricing is open for the May Retreat in Broken Bow - a powerful space to reset, root, and rise before the rest of the year unfolds.
Slow doesn’t mean stuck.
Sometimes it means you’re finally listening.
