I’ve got some news to share about Something New, and it feels like a moment of reflection, change, and looking forward. Last Thursday, I shared this with my subscribers, my "suite," and now it’s time to bring all of you into the loop on what’s ahead.

Practicing What We Preach

Starting April 1, we’re hitting the pause button on Something New, pausing all our coaching, workshops—basically, everything we’ve been doing. Making this decision was tough, but essential. It’s about taking my own advice—the kind we talk about in our sessions. Life's opportunities are calling for more of my presence at home and it’s crucial to take this step back to ensure we’re heading in a meaningful direction. I am grateful that I have the flexibility to step up in this way, like never before!

Shifting Priorities

During this pause, I’m zeroing in on two big priorities. Being more of a soccer mom (I am halfway joking, those of you who know me, know that I cringe at the idea of driving around town in a minivan) but it's my time to make more dinners, do more of the tucking into bed, — this is a shift for a recovering self-proclaimed workaholic, and with the ages of my littles, this is crucial time in their lives for me to make memories. It’s also a reminder of how important it is to be there for the ones you love, especially when they need you most. At the same time, I’m all in on getting Collective Spaces, our event spot, through a big renovation. This project is a labor of love, and I’m committed to seeing it through.

Reflection for Innovation

This isn’t just a break; it’s an opportunity for deep reflection on the future of Something New. The world around us is constantly evolving, and so are the needs of our community. This time away is about ensuring that when we return, we’re not just on track but setting the pace. We’re gearing up to come back with a clearer vision and innovative plans to serve you better.

Coming Back Stronger

We plan to be back in action by summer/fall, and you’ll be the first to hear about our next steps (maybe the second, my subscribers will always find out first... or be the only to know!). This pause is a testament to the necessity of sometimes stepping back to leap forward. It’s a decision made with gratitude for the space to reflect on what truly matters—for me, for my family, and for Something New.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Your support and understanding during this period are more precious than ever. This isn’t a goodbye but a short break to regroup and come back stronger. I’m looking forward to sharing the insights and renewed energy I’ll have on our return. Feel free to reach out; hearing from you always brightens my day.

Thanks for walking this path with me. Your patience and flexibility right now are incredible, and I can’t wait to embark on the next leg of our journey together with fresh perspectives and a strengthened vision.

Take care until then,

Bernice
