Right. I'm seeing "tropical storm amanda" trending, and it brings a particular kind of energy to the feed, doesn't it? A tension, a sense of things being beyond our control. And in those moments, it’s… easy to lose your footing.
But let’s not confuse urgency with alignment. When the winds pick up, your internal compass needs to be steady. Sheryl often talks about joy as your deepest operating system, and it’s precisely in these moments of external pressure that it proves its worth. It’s not about ignoring the storm, not at all. It’s about deciding, deliberately, from the part of you that’s steady, what your response will be. What resources you’ll deploy. What you’ll protect.
That’s not soft. That’s strategic. Joy is the strongest choice you’ll ever make, because it insists you lead from clarity, even when chaos reigns. Breathe. Now, what does true alignment ask of you, right here, right now?
