Who Do You Need To Be Now?

Happy Sunday!

Sunday, 19th October – 4-minute read

Apologies for the lack of News last week. My mad content creation schedule finally caught up with me.

I have been reviewing my whole life and business schedule and have been making some tough decisions so I can stay on top of my workload and energy.

Grab a cuppa (water today for me) and I’ll share the changes, as well as a lesson along the way.

The Updates

The Depth Advantage is now bi-monthly. It’s part of reclaiming time and depth—to serve my clients and my own growth, and to offer you even greater value.

Navigating Shifting Times Without Losing Yourself

The world right now? Change is the new constant. AI isn’t on the way—it’s already embedded everywhere, often working behind the scenes before you’ve noticed. Some see this as threatening, but what if it’s a signpost to get curious, to learn, to adapt rather than resist?​

The trick is not to try to absorb everything. What matters is recognising what serves your purpose and dropping what doesn’t. When the noise ramps up, slow down and ask: “Is this for me?” Be selective. Your energy is gold.

End-of-Year Identity Reset

With the year’s end in sight, it’s a powerful time to tune in and ask not just ‘what do I want to achieve?’ but ‘who do I need to be to make it happen?’​

This is about clarity:

• Name your goals.
• Ask, honestly, what traits and habits belong to the ‘you’ who will finish the year strong.
• Let go of the stories that kept you playing small.

If you feel foggy, you’re not alone. The answer isn’t ‘work harder’—it’s become the person who makes those achievements inevitable.

Holding and Releasing

Hold tight:

• Your core values and mission.
• Practical tools that genuinely free time (AI is at the top of my list right now—think your own executive assistant, more time for clients, and supporting Sue Knight’s work).

Release:

• The pressure to master every new thing.
• Distraction masquerading as learning.

Change demands discernment. Be conscious of what you give your attention to.

How I’m Walking My Talk

I’ve reclaimed my diary. I’ve implemented AI systems so I have more true space—space to serve, space to create, and space to rest. Don’t fight the new tide; let it carry you where you most need to go.

That’s all for this issue, lovely soul.
Take care, stay centred, and ask yourself: who do I want to be as 2025 comes to a close?

I am focusing on being someone who claims back their time while increasing their impact, and leaving a love-layered legacy.

The coffee offer remains open, always. And the welcome is genuine.

With so much love and gratitude,

Heather
