Lately, life has been asking me to live in the in-between.
I find myself dividing my time between two expressions of the same work: offering healing sessions and spiritual support via Zoom, and spending time in the salon at Beautiful & Co, where I’m weaving together hair, Reiki, and presence in a very tangible way.
There was a time when I might have tried to choose one and abandon the other — believing that clarity only comes from narrowing, not expanding. But this season is teaching me something different.
This is a season of integration.
Zoom sessions allow me to meet women exactly where they are — in their own homes, their own sacred spaces, their own rhythm. There is something deeply intimate about being invited into someone’s inner world from afar, holding space across distance, and trusting that energy and connection are not limited by physical proximity.
The salon, on the other hand, is grounding in a different way. There is the hum of life around us. The chair. The mirror. The ritual of care that happens when someone sits down and allows themselves to be tended to — not just cosmetically, but energetically. Hair and Reiki together have become a reminder that transformation doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like softness. Sometimes it looks like being witnessed.
Both spaces are teaching me to listen more closely to my body, my intuition, and the pace that actually supports sustainability — not burnout.
And maybe that’s the message I want to offer you, too.
Many of us are in a season of change right now. Not the flashy, announce-it-on-social-media kind. The quieter kind. The kind where old ways no longer fit, but the new ways aren’t fully formed yet.
This space can feel uncomfortable. Unsettling. Even lonely.
But it’s also deeply alive.
If you’re feeling pulled in multiple directions, uncertain about what comes next, or like you’re being asked to loosen your grip on who you thought you had to be — you’re not doing it wrong. You may simply be in a season that requires listening instead of forcing.
Change doesn’t always ask for bold leaps.
Sometimes it asks for smaller truths.
For honesty about what feels nourishing and what feels depleting.
For permission to evolve without explaining yourself.
If you’re here, reading this, I want you to know that it’s okay to move slowly. It’s okay to honor more than one path at a time. And it’s okay to let this season shape you before you try to define it.
Whether you’re meeting me online, in the salon, or simply through these words — my hope is that this space reminds you to soften into where you are, and trust that clarity will come not from pushing, but from presence.
This season doesn’t need you to be certain.
It just needs you to be willing.
With love
Stacey
