I had coffee with a friend last week and something clicked. ☕✨
She’s a creator, coach, artist, entrepreneur… all the things. And in the middle of our conversation, she said something that was an immediate epiphany for me:
"Now I have less of a plan, and more of a vision."
As a lifelong planner, I immediately understood—but hadn’t yet put it into words. Plans have always been my blueprint, my guide… and sometimes, my cage.
When I was in my mid-twenties, I followed the plan: 9–5 job ✅, marriage ✅, house ✅, benefits ✅, milestones checked off… and yet, something still felt off. One day I realized ... it wasn't my plan.
And the plan didn’t leave space for magic, for intuition, for divine intervention.
Over time, I’ve unraveled the master plan. I’ve allowed myself to stop rigidly planning and instead vision.
I see how I want life to feel, not just what I want it to look like. I access that feeling anytime, anywhere, because it’s no longer about following a schedule—it’s about leaning fully into the moment.
The same goes for my work as a coach and event consultant. The most memorable weddings, events, and personal transformations rarely went “according to plan.”
Plans give structure, but vision gives freedom.
When something goes off-plan, magic happens. Rain at an outdoor ceremony? Suddenly, the focus is on the people, the joy, the experience—not the timeline.
In life, in business, in relationships, the lesson is the same:
When we let go of rigid plans and allow space for vision to guide us, life expands. Opportunities show up. Dreams feel possible. And alignment becomes tangible.
This week I invite you to experiment with visioning over planning:
What if you leaned into your next step without overthinking it?
What if you allowed your day to unfold in a way that feels good rather than structured?
What if you trusted that life is moving toward your highest vision—even if you can’t see all the steps yet?
Your invitation: lean into your vision. Trust the unfolding. See how life expands when you step fully into the feeling you want to create. ✨
Until next week,
Leslie
