From Silence to a Storm: A Slow Week, a Big Milestone, and a Full Calendar Ahead

Last week, my calendar was nearly empty. One single meeting. That was it.

Naturally, I spiraled a little because that’s what entrepreneurs do when things go quiet. I told myself business was slow, I started to worry, and I wondered if I should be doing more.

Well… God must’ve heard me loud and clear, because this week? I have 13 meetings.

Thirteen.


They’re a mix of in-person and virtual, ranging from consults to strategy calls, and I’m just over here laughing at myself for ever thinking the slow week meant anything was wrong.

Sometimes the silence is just the calm before the calendar storm.


The Only Goal This Week? Make It Through.

With that kind of meeting load, my only real goal is to make it through the week without burning out. And I’ve got a strong motivation for doing just that: I’m taking the holiday weekend completely off.


My husband and I didn’t see each other for 9 straight days last week. Between his travel and my client work, we were totally out of sync. And with another packed week ahead, we knew we’d barely cross paths again unless we intentionally carved out the time.


So that’s the plan. We’re soaking up this holiday weekend together, spending time with just the two of us, and prioritizing some much-needed rest and reconnection.


Time off isn’t always easy to take but it’s necessary. Especially when you’ve got a baby on the way and the moments as “just us” are numbered in the sweetest way.


A Huge House Milestone

This past weekend was one for the books and we officially finished every single pre-drywall task.

That means… the drywall crew can finally start.


And let me tell you, it feels so good.


We worked our butts off getting everything finalized. We were sore, bruised, and barely able to move by the end of it. And to top it off, we were one person down since my husband was out of town for work. But we powered through.


I looked around at what we accomplished and realized this was one of those milestones we’ll remember forever. Every phase of this house has tested us in new ways, but it’s also brought us so much pride.


Drywall is a big one and the house is finally starting to feel real.


Looking Ahead

This week is already jam-packed with client calls, proposals, and internal meetings but I’m entering it with a grateful heart. Last week’s stillness gave me the energy I needed for this one. And with the house moving forward and quality time with my husband on the horizon, I’m remembering that everything happens in seasons.


Busy or slow, progress or pause, it’s all part of the process.


See you next week, hopefully a little more rested and a whole lot more finished with drywall.
