Dear Franca,
Last Vital Shift newsletter opened the door to spring’s energy of awakening and clarity. I invited you to observe yourself and notice what is awakening in you, what is calling you forward, and what might no longer be serving your growth.
Now I invite you to go a step deeper and look at the architecture of your life: your mindset. As spring reaches its fullness, I invite you to continue tuning in. Vital awareness—the kind that drives meaningful change—begins with observing the coherence (or incoherence) between your feelings, thoughts, and actions. When that coherence is missing, we experience conflict. When it’s cultivated, we create alignment, flow, and growth.
Vital Shift Focus: What Core Beliefs Are Shaping You?
Some of the most powerful forces in our lives are invisible—our core beliefs. They quietly influence how we speak to ourselves, what we tolerate, and how we show up in the world. Just as powerful are our daily habits—small, repeated actions that reflect and reinforce our mindset.
Try asking yourself:
What do I believe about myself, others, or life?
What might be outdated—or no longer true?
This reflection brings me back to a time when I believed I had to constantly prove my worth through productivity and constant availability. I couldn’t rest—when I did, I felt guilty. It took a burnout to wake me up. I began to question whether this sense of responsibility was truly mine… and realized I had internalized it from my family environment.
The path of self-discovery, supported by a clear intention to regain my vitality and a solid support system, helped me shift that belief. Now, rest is part of my routine, and I continue to observe how deeply rooted beliefs can subtly influence our choices until we bring them into the light.
Glimpses from the Journey: A Client Story.
One of my clients, Sehar, came into coaching feeling blocked by procrastination and unsure about her path. As we explored her beliefs, she discovered that many of them actually aligned with her truth—she simply hadn’t fully claimed them. Once she stepped into that awareness and took responsibility for leading her life, she accessed a deeper sense of inner power. With this clarity, new confidence began to unfold, along with recognizing— and choosing to peruse— exciting professional opportunities.
Food for Thoughts: From Beliefs to Habits—and the role of Intuition
As we more from awareness into action, it becomes essential to explore how your daily habits mirror your beliefs—and how intuitive adjustments can unlock new momentum. Intuition is a quiet yet potent force. Listening to it is how we bloom from within.
Psychological scientist Joel Pearson and his team at the University of New South Wales have been studying intuition for decades. In a 2016 article, they describe intuition as more than a feeling—it’s a real mental event that can guide well even when we are not thinking.
But they caution:In moments of strong emotion, it’s wise to pause. What feels like intuition may instead reflect our emotional state—not our deeper knowing.
What Next
As we complete this spring cycle of reflection on renewal, I invite you to stay connected as we soon move into the next seasonal phase of The Vital Shift: Summer.
The Summer Edition of the newsletter will arrive on June 21, focusing on Expansion & Confidence—how to take aligned action and express your purpose with clarity.
In the weeks that follow before we enter Fall, I’ll send two brief reflections to help you explore your guiding mindset regarding action & Self-Expression, reconnecting with your deeper desires—to help you move forward with more ease and intention.
Until then, take good care of yourself, stay curious, and enjoy the warmth and openness this season brings.
If you're feeling the pull to realign and refocus, I also have a few private coaching spots open in June.
Book a 40 minutes Discovery and Clarity Session —free of charge and free of pressure—to explore what’s next for you.
With Much Love & Encouragement,
Franca
