If Your Life Were a Coffee Order… What Would You Choose?
If your life right now were a coffee order…
What would it be?
Would it be:
Your usual, no questions asked
Something you picked years ago and never changed
What everyone else seems to be ordering
Or something you’re not even sure you like anymore
It’s funny how when we walk into a coffee shop, we know there are options.
We scan the menu. We notice what sounds good. We adjust based on mood, weather, energy, etc.
Hot or iced. Strong or light. Simple or a little indulgent. We choose.
And yet… when it comes to our lives, many of us don’t approach it the same way.
Especially the women I work with.
Highly responsible. Thoughtful. Capable.
Women who have spent years doing what needs to be done, often for everyone else.
Somewhere along the way, the “order” got set.
And not necessarily because it was deeply chosen…
But because it made sense at the time.
And then it stuck.
Here’s the part we don’t talk about enough:
You’re not stuck because you don’t have choices.
You’re stuck because:
You’ve adapted to what is, even if it’s not quite right
You don’t want to disrupt something that’s “working”
You’ve learned to override what you want
And you’re waiting to feel 100% clear before making a change
So instead of choosing…
You default. To what’s familiar. To what’s expected.
To what you’ve already been doing. Imagine doing that in a coffee shop.
Ordering the same thing every single time… even if it no longer tastes the way you want it to.
Even if something else sounds better.
You wouldn’t.
You’d adjust without overthinking it.
But in life?
You tell yourself:
“It’s fine.”
“Now’s not the time.”
“I should just be grateful.”
And slowly… You drift further away from yourself.
Not dramatically.
Just enough to feel you’re out of alignment.
This isn’t about blowing up your life.
It’s about creating space to pause and being honest enough to admit:
Something here no longer fits.
And recognizing that waiting for clarity before making a change…
is exactly what keeps you where you are.
Clarity doesn’t come first.
Choice does.
Even a small one.
A shift.
A boundary.
A different way of showing up.
That’s the work I do with women.
Not handing you a new “order.”
But helping you:
Notice where you’ve been on autopilot
Reconnect with what you actually want
Begin making intentional choices that bring you back to yourself
You don’t need to change everything.
But you do need to stop pretending nothing needs to change.
To get out of running on autopilot, choose to schedule a Clarity Call and let’s talk!
