Remembering "Why"


Dearest Reader,

This past week, I found myself remembering something I had lost sight of – Remembering "why". Why I do what I do, why I get up in the morning and why I keep going. My why has been my motivation and purpose for close to 15 years.

And yet, somehow, I have recently been asking myself why I keep doing the things I do. I have found myself doing things, working hard, building a business, and pushing myself while not quite sure to what end. Like there was no reason behind why I was doing it to anchor me into a purpose.

My why was still there. Become the best version of myself I could be so I can be the best possible role model of what a woman is for my daughters. I still wanted that. My why was still valid. So, why wasn't it giving me the drive to keep going like it used to?

What's different?

Well, when I first decided on my why, my daughters were around the ages of 3 and 1 ½. They are now 17 and 15. They no longer need me to show them what a woman is. They are already there. They are young women and defining their own identities as women.

This doesn't mean that my why is no longer good or valid. It just means that my why needs an update. Just as my whole life has changed over the years as my children were growing up. My why also needed to change to catch up with my current life.

The lesson.

A why will only take you so far. Every once in a while, you need to check back with that why and decide if it is still serving you and motivating you to move in the direction of your purpose. Sometimes a why will carry you for a long time. It doesn't mean it's better than another. Other whys have a shorter lifespan. It's important to look back every once in a while, and remember your why. Ask yourself if it still applies or if it needs some tweaking in order to better fit your current life.

Outgrowing the why.

When you outgrow your why, it simply means that you have grown and evolved to the furthest point that why could carry you. And if you want to keep growing, you need to modify that old why or change it completely into something that can be the driving force behind all the amazing things you do.

I encourage you to take a moment, right now, and review your why. Is it still serving you? Do you need to change anything about it?

Why is the foundation for everything you do. Always make sure you are building on a solid foundation.

Much love and blessings,

May

Hello Reader, As 2025 comes to a close, I've been pondering the past years. My successes, my struggles, how far I've come and which direction I would like to take in the year to come. Here's my conclusion and perhaps my greatest lesson of 2025... It’s astonishing how easy it is to dismiss the small things that we do for our well-being. Small rituals with powerful impact that we often undervalue and often set aside for what we deem to be a more productive use of our time. As the year comes to...

Hello Reader, I wish I was writing to tell you that you will soon be able to get my new book Comfort Beyond Love. Sadly, I have to share that the launch that was supposed to happen on 11.11.25 has to be postponed to a future date. The initial shock of receiving my radically altered manuscript has warn off and I can now think with a clearer head. I've written about my experience on my Substack and you can read it at the following link:...
