The clarity I didn’t expect_ from a profound meditation experience

A recent profound meditation experience has led to very significant clarity about my business.

Which has also meant facing really challenging realities and honest truths.

Yet the clarity is not what you might expect.

Clarity sometimes starts with what’s not working before you get to what’s needed next.

If you read my early 2026 emails, you heard about some very unexpected events that rocked me. You also heard how the start of 2026 didn’t arrive in the wave of “New Year energy” I’ve felt in previous years.

I had to sit with that unusual feeling and lean into what it was calling me to do.

Intentional clearing.

Clearing out both my physical and emotional spaces.

I felt no pull toward planning my 2026 business year. The only thing I was clear on in early January was this:

My business model needed to change.

I was facing yet another school holiday feeling of being pulled between my business and my children. Bracing myself to endure the pressure I feel every holidays.

And it was prompted by a realisation I couldn’t ignore.

I maybe have three years left.

Only three years where my youngest will actually want to spend this kind of time with me. Having a teenager and a ten-year-old gives you that perspective very quickly.

But there was something else I hadn’t fully acknowledged.

Over the last four years, I have poured hundreds and hundreds of free hours into other parts of my businesses. Hours that, if I’m honest, undervalued my skills, expertise, and energy.

Now, don’t get me wrong. There is no regret or resentment. My mission is clear, as are my values around service.

But as 2026 continued, I was getting more nudges. More situations. More circumstances that were not subtle.

They were yelling that change is needed.

Then one weekend, I stepped away. Away from business. Away from planning. Into a deeply transformative experience.

And one clear message came through.

Simplicity.One focus.

Since then, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks sitting with that. Allowing space to show me what that actually means.

In that time, I’ve run and launched another round of MOSU Challenge. I’ve worked with clients. I’ve held ongoing conversations about the direction of OWN.

And each day, as I don’t push an outcome and just take one step at a time, that message becomes clearer.

Simplicity - One focus.

I share this because often we get stuck in the “in between.” The void. Where things don’t feel like they’re moving. Or at least not in the way we want.

Where the type of clarity we’re seeking hasn’t arrived.

Often, the clarity we want is to know exactly what it will look like. Exactly what we need to do. The full picture. The full plan.

But that is our need for certainty when uncertainty is here.

It’s a deeper need for control. For safety, especially in business. Because business is security. It’s income. But it’s also identity. It’s a reflection of who you are.

So when you feel adrift in business, it can feel destabilising.

In the void, pushing is not the answer.

Holding tightly is not the answer.

Stepping back is.

Honest evaluation is.

Honest conversations with the people it impacts is.

Looking clearly at what’s working and what isn’t. What’s sustainable and what isn’t.

For me, what this looks like right now is:

Revisiting my mission, purpose, and vision for business
Looking at my numbers/ data
Gathering feedback from my client groups
Looking at the client/ customer journey
Dropping into my ideal reality/vision/ what work feels alive and aligned for at this stage
