Changing Your Mind Is Growth, Not Failure

-

For a long time, I believed that changing my mind meant I had failed.

If I chose a path, I thought I had to stay on it—even when it no longer felt right. After investing years in a career, a relationship, or a certain version of life, walking away can feel like throwing everything away.

But it isn’t.

When I began changing direction after more than twenty years in education, I questioned myself many times. I wondered whether I should remain with what was familiar instead of following the quiet voice telling me there was something more for me.

What I understand now is that changing direction did not erase those years. They shaped the coach, teacher, and woman I am today.

Sometimes we make decisions based on who we were at the time. Then we grow. Our needs change. Our dreams change. We change.

That does not make the original decision wrong.

It simply means it may no longer be right for the person you are becoming.

You are allowed to look at your life and say, “This no longer feels like me.”

You are allowed to choose differently without carrying guilt.

And you do not need to have the entire journey planned before taking one honest step toward yourself.

Changing your mind is not always a sign of confusion. Sometimes, it is the clearest sign that you are finally listening to yourself.

If something in your life no longer fits, what truth have you been afraid to admit?

If you are ready to explore your next chapter with clarity, confidence, and support, send me the word READY. The 6-Week Elevare Experience can help you move forward without abandoning yourself along the way.

Embodied Wisdom: Listening to the Body’s Yes and No

🌿 Embodied Wisdom: Listening to the Body’s Yes and No There’s a kind of wisdom that lives beneath words. It doesn’t come from logic or planning—it rises from sensation, from breath, from the quiet signals our bodies send when the world feels uncertain. Learning to listen to those signals is not always graceful. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable. But it’s always real. ✨ A Personal Story: The Restlessness of Surrender When I moved back to Uruguay earlier this year, I thought I was ready. I had visions of reconnection, of creative flow, of grounding myself in familiar soil. But reality unfolded differently. The rhythm was off. The opportunities didn’t align. The emotional landscape felt foreign, even though the streets were known. I kept telling myself to go with the flow. To surrender. To trust the timing. But my body wasn’t convinced. I felt restless. My sleep was shallow. My breath stayed high in my chest. I tried to meditate, to move, to journal—but the unease linger...

When the Universe Says ‘Not Yet’: Why Delays Are Part of Your Alignment

 There’s a moment in everyone’s journey where you’ve done everything right . You’ve asked. You’ve gotten clear. You’ve aligned your energy. You’ve taken action. And still… Nothing happens. Or worse — you feel like you’re moving backwards. It’s in these moments that the universe whispers: “Not yet.” Not as punishment. Not as rejection. But as protection and preparation . And even though it can feel frustrating, confusing, or discouraging… divine timing is always working behind the scenes in ways we often don’t see — until much later. 💬  There was something I wanted deeply — something I believed I was ready for. I visualized it, aligned with it, and trusted it would come. But it didn’t. Days passed. Weeks passed. Opportunities that looked promising slipped away. And I remember thinking, “Why? I’ve done the inner work. I’m ready.” Then, months later, something unexpected happened: I received an opportunity that aligned perfectly with who I was becoming — no...
