Separation Season & Shifting Gears Into Your Next Level

Welcome back to the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast. Today’s Make It Happen Monday episode is all about something I didn’t choose for 2026… it chose me.

I’m calling this year my separation season — a season where I’m intentionally separating from what drains me and aligning with what multiplies me: my energy, visibility, impact, and abundance.

This isn’t about burning bridges, cutting people off, or becoming cold or disconnected.
It’s about discernment, leadership, and upgrading how you move.

What Is a Separation Season?

I first heard this concept from Ed Mylett, who explains that there are specific windows where you can separate from the pack and accelerate — not through force, but through focus.

This season asks:

What no longer matches the leader you’re becoming?
Where are you over-managing instead of making moves?
What would change if you honored the transition instead of resisting it?

The Stick Shift Metaphor (Why Slowing Down Isn’t Falling Behind)

In this episode, I share a metaphor that came up during my own tapping session:

When you drive a stick shift, you don’t just press the gas and magically go faster.
You gear down first.

There’s a moment where things feel clunky.
The engine sounds different.
The movement isn’t smooth.

If you don’t understand what’s happening, you think something is wrong.
But if you do understand, you realize:
You’re preparing to accelerate.

That’s what this season feels like in my body and my business.

When the Nervous System Reacts to Growth

As I shared honestly in this episode, growth doesn’t always feel exciting in the moment. Sometimes it feels like:

Fatigue
Irritability
Grief
Resistance
Old fears getting loud

Not because you’re doing something wrong — but because your system is recalibrating.

I talk about the two parts of me I’m constantly integrating:

The driven, fast-moving, masculine energy
The body-led, intuitive, slower part that needs to be honored

Leadership is learning how to let them work together, not letting one dominate the system.

The Release–Receive Cycle in Business

I also normalize something so many women experience but rarely talk about:

There are seasons where offers complete.
Payment plans end.
People move out — and new people move in.

Old survival parts can show up and say:

“What if nothing else is coming?”

But that voice belongs to an older season — not the one you’re leading now.

One of my favorite affirmations:
More is always on the way.

Identity Work, Astrology & Leadership Shifts

I also share how this season connects to a deeper identity shift for me:

Moving from customization → leading at scale
From many pathways → fewer, clearer entry points
From hand-holding → momentum and precision
From pressure → alignment

This is why tapping isn’t just about calming down — it’s about honoring the season you’re in without making yourself wrong and reinforcing the identity you’re stepping into.

Journal Prompts From Today’s Episode

If you’re in a separation season too, here’s what I invite you to reflect on:

What is draining me right now?
(An offer, role, habit, relationship dynamic, or way of showing up.)
What is multiplying me right now?
(Momentum, income, impact — with less emotional labor.)
What’s one gear-shift action I can take today?
One simple move that tells your nervous system it’s safe to move forward.

Small actions build trust with your body.

Final Reflection

If you weren’t trying to manage everything this year…
What would you build instead?

You’re not behind.
You’re not failing.
You’re shifting gears — and acceleration is coming.
