Ladies, as we step into this week, I want to share something that came up for me over the last few days. I just got back from a mini vacation with my family, and if I’m being honest, it was really hard for me to fully step away. Before we left, I was trying to get a few more things done. While I was away, I kept thinking about what I could send or finish so that nothing would be waiting on me when I got back. And in the middle of that, I felt the Lord gently remind me to just enjoy the time for what it was. To actually rest. That moment stayed with me, because I realized how easy it is for me to move through time like everything is urgent. Even the time that’s meant to restore me. I had set that time aside for my family, for rest, for a break… and still felt the pull to get ahead or clear things off my plate. Not because I had to, but because it felt like I should. And I know that may not be everyone, but if you’ve ever felt that tension, you know what I mean. That quiet pressure to keep going, even when it’s time to pause. But we’re reminded in the Word that the Sabbath was made for us, not the other way around. Rest isn’t something we earn after everything is done. It’s something we’re given so we can be sustained in what we’re called to do. And if we don’t learn how to receive it that way, it’s very easy to burn out trying to carry everything at once. So as we step into this week, I’m not even going to tell you to do more. I just want to encourage you to pay attention. Pay attention to how you’re holding your time. Because for me, I realized that the urge to keep working wasn’t really about productivity. It was about not trusting that what didn’t get done could wait. What would it look like for you to release that this week? To trust that you can come back to it? To be fully present in the moment you’re actually in? This week, I’m focusing less on doing more and more on being where I am. When it’s time to work, I’ll work. When it’s time to rest, I’m learning to let that be enough.

Alright, ladies, as we close out this week, I want to share something I was really convicted on this week I found myself choosing what felt urgent or pressing instead of doing what God clearly told me to do first. Whether it was sending an email, reaching out to someone, or focusing on a specific task, I kept allowing other things to take my attention. And in that moment, I felt the weight of it. Because I teach this same principle to my children. Do what you’re told to do first! And I realized… I wasn’t doing that with God. At the same time, I was reading through the book of Daniel and was reminded that one day, we will all have to give an account. And it made me pause and ask myself: I can confidently say I’m showing up for my family. I can say I’m doing well in certain areas. But how confident am I in how I’m stewarding what God has called me to build in this season? So as we reflect on this week, I want to invite you into something deeper than just “what got done.” Ask yourself: • What did God place on my heart to do this week? • Did I do that first? • Or did I let other things take their place? And if the week didn’t go how you planned, there is still time. Not to do everything. But to take one step. Our reminder this week was simple: Even 25 focused minutes is progress. That could look like: • working through a lesson • making progress on what you’re building • or even taking time to understand what might be holding you back through the Enneagram assessment Every step matters. Every step is stewardship. Take a few minutes today and do the thing you’ve been putting off. Then come back and share one thing you moved forward 👇🏽 Let’s finish the week aligned.

Ladies, as we step into this week, I want to share something I’ve been sitting with over the last couple of weeks… If I’m being honest, part of the reason I fell behind on posting and even building the way I planned wasn’t just capacity. It was also something deeper. I recently took the Enneagram and learned I’m a Type 1, the Moral Perfectionist🫣. What stood out to me is that for me, it’s not just about wanting things to be perfect. It’s about wanting things to be done a specific way. So if it doesn’t feel like the right way yet, I slow down, overthink it, or delay it altogether. And I realized this has been showing up in how I’ve been building. As I sat with that, I started thinking about you all. For some of you, it may not just be time or capacity either. It might look like: • Waiting until you feel clearer before you start • Overthinking every step before taking action • Starting a lot of things but struggling to finish • Feeling like it has to be done right before you move forward • Fear of doing it wrong • Or avoiding it because it feels bigger than what you can hold right now We touched on how you’re wired back in Week 1, but this feels like another layer. It’s not just how you’re gifted, but why you do what you do and the patterns that might be quietly slowing you down. As we move into this next phase, this matters more than we think. Because we’re stepping into building systems in Q2. Before we build systems, we need to understand what breaks them. The same patterns that slow us down in building will follow us into our systems if we don’t recognize them. So here’s what I want to invite you into, nothing heavy: If this resonates with you, take a little time to explore it. You can take a simple Enneagram test. There are plenty online. I’ve also included a trusted, faith-centered option below if that feels more aligned for you. 👉🏾 https://assessment.yourenneagramcoach.com Not to label yourself, but to notice:

Today marks the end of our 75-day consistency journey and our March 31 build deadline. And if I’m honest… it’s been a little quiet in here. And I think that says a lot. Over these past 75 days, I (Sherrika) personally faced some of the toughest battles around my time, attention, and capacity. Between constant school closures, preparing to move my family, building a course, leading this community, running my business, and serving in leadership, it felt like something was pulling on me every single day. What I’ve learned through all of this echoes what we’ve been saying: God cares about our capacity. The more I tried to do everything, the more I felt Him pressing on me to create margin, to stop boxing myself into unrealistic timelines, and to honor the boundaries and schedule I’ve set. If it’s an admin day, let it be an admin day. If it’s a day of rest, let it truly be rest. I was also reminded how important it is to take care of myself. Nothing is so urgent that it’s worth sacrificing your sleep, your peace, or your sanity. And often, when you feel that nudge to pause or put something down, it’s because God has already made provision for you, whether through time, energy, or help. Another big lesson for me was learning to lean on support. My husband at home. My business manager. My board. And soon, a community manager for this space. Delegation is not a weakness. It’s necessary. And one thing I want to leave with you as we move into the next quarter is this: What feels like a burden to you may be someone else’s fulfillment. For those of you who were not able to complete your build by March 31, you are not behind. Keep moving. Our structure may not have matched your exact reality this month, and that’s okay. We are creating space for you to catch up. We’ll be using the first 3 weeks of April as a catch-up and alignment period before we move into building systems around what you’ve created. During that time, we’ll have more opportunities for support, check-ins, and intentional work sessions to help you move forward.

Hey ladies, As we continue to grow, I’ve been prayerful about how to better support you all in this space while also protecting my capacity to lead, teach, and build what God has given us.
