Pause. Play. 5, 6, 7, 8!
Jan 30, 2026Pause. Play. 5, 6, 7, 8!
Most people don’t need more motivation.
They need to move before they feel ready.
That might sound counterintuitive in a world obsessed with hype and hustle—but if you’ve ever waited to feel “motivated” before starting something meaningful, you already know how unreliable that strategy can be.
Motivation is moody.
It comes and goes.
Consistency, on the other hand, is built in motion.
And that’s exactly what we explored in this week’s Monday Moves.
The Movement: Pause + Play
We kept it beautifully simple.
First, we stood on one leg.
Nothing fancy.
Just lifting the foot… and pausing.
In that pause, something interesting happens.
The body starts negotiating.
The mind gets chatty.
We wobble. We overthink. We search for control.
Sound familiar?
That pause is such an honest reflection of life.
It’s the moment where we’re deciding whether to stay still—or try.
Then came the play.
From that same single-leg balance, we added a small plié or squat.
Down.
Up.
Still imperfect.
Still human.
And suddenly, the body figured it out.
Not because it was ready.
But because it moved.
Motivation Isn’t the Missing Piece
I hear it almost daily:
“I just need more motivation.”
But what most people are actually craving is consistency.
They want to feel ready before they press play.
Here’s the truth we don’t talk about enough:
Some of the most meaningful moments of our lives happen before we feel ready.
Becoming a parent.
Leaving home.
Starting a business.
Saying yes to love.
Choosing growth.
Readiness rarely comes first.
Movement does.
When you feel overwhelmed, tired, scared, or unsure—that’s often the signal that you’re stepping out of autopilot and into something new. And that’s a beautiful thing… if you don’t let fear freeze you in place.
The Lie That Keeps People Stuck
“I’ll start when I’m ready.”
That sentence has kept more people stuck than failure ever has.
What most people don’t need is more information.
They need a roadmap.
A place to practice showing up.
Support that holds them steady while they wobble.
Just like balancing on one leg—you don’t wait until you feel stable to lift the foot.
You lift the foot… and stability is built along the way.
This Is Where “5, 6, 7, 8!” Comes In
In dance, 5, 6, 7, 8! is the moment.
It’s not the moment when everyone feels ready.
It’s the moment when we move together.
It’s the signal that says:
You don’t need to know every step.
You don’t need to feel confident yet.
You don’t need perfect conditions.
You just need to begin.
That count is permission.
It’s momentum.
It’s trust.
And life works the same way.
Why I Created Come Alive
This is exactly why Come Alive exists.
Come Alive is a small, intentional coaching experience for women who are ready to stop waiting and start moving—with clarity, support, and alignment.
It begins next Monday at 3pm Eastern and is limited to the first 10 women who say yes.
This is the only time I’m opening it in the first quarter of 2026.
It won’t open again until April or May.
Inside Come Alive, we move through a clear, supportive pathway:
✨ Weeks 1–2: Wake up to what matters
Step out of autopilot and decide what this season is really about.
✨ Weeks 3–4: Build momentum through aligned action
Not more effort—better direction.
✨ Weeks 5–6: Integration, identity, and follow-through
So the changes you make actually last.
You receive 10 weeks of coaching for $497—less than $50 per session.
For context, many coaching sessions cost $250 per call.
This isn’t therapy—but it is deep, intentional work that changes how you show up everywhere in your life.
Your Invitation
Just like the movement we practiced:
You don’t wait to feel balanced before you lift the leg.
You lift the leg—and balance shows up.
You don’t wait to feel motivated.
You hear the count… and you move.
5, 6, 7, 8!
