Month Six: The Sacred Middle & The Power of the Pivot

There’s something holy about the halfway point.
We’re six months into the year, and let me be the first to say: I’ve accomplished some things I’m proud of, and I’ve also left some goals untouched, half-written, half-believed in, half-committed to. But something about this season. This sixth month hits differently. Not because it’s loud. But because it’s clarifying.
May recap...
I turned 50 on May 13th.
And while some people entered 50 screaming with glitter and sequins, I walked into it with softness and clarity. Not a whisper of confusion. Not a flinch of doubt. Just awareness. It was a peace that had no performance behind it. Turning 50 wasn’t a breakdown for me. It was a jubilee.
Jubilee: A Biblical Reset
In the Bible, the 50th year is called the Jubilee, and it's sacred. It was when debts were canceled. Land was returned. Slaves were freed. It was a divine reset. A divine realignment.
And here I am, standing in my personal jubilee, taking inventory. Not everything that I sought out to accomplish in the first half of 2025 has been checked off or even looked at, but I’ve grown. I’ve healed. I’ve become more honest. And more than anything, I’ve stopped lying to myself about what I want and what I will no longer accept. I did bold and underline that, which means that I meant it. I had to place some extra emphasis on it, not for you but for me.
What’s Shifting in Month Six?
This month feels like a mirror. And maybe it’s holding one up to you, too.
It’s time to ask:
What’s still working?
What needs to be tweaked?
What’s draining me, even though it looked good on paper?
What dreams no longer match my current version of self?
What habits feel holy, and which ones are just performative?
I used to be afraid to let go of the plans I started with. Afraid it made me look scattered or uncertain. But the older me knows better. Pivoting isn’t flakiness. It’s faith in motion. If you’re like me, you’ve probably had some quiet nudges in your spirit lately. A tug to release something you thought you needed. A pull toward something you didn’t see coming. That’s the pivot.
It’s not always flashy. It won’t always make sense to other people. But it is always divine when rooted in truth. Somewhere along the way, we were taught to power through, to stick to the script, to keep up the image even when it no longer fits. But Month Six? She’s asking you to tell the truth. Not just the truth you post. The truth you sit with in silence. The truth that wakes you up in the morning and whispers, “This ain’t it anymore.”
I’m Not Taking Shorts or Voluntary Losses This Time
Let me be clear: I’m not dimming. I’m not shrinking. I’m not overgiving or oversharing. And I’m definitely not accepting crumbs from the floor when I was made for the table. This second half of the year is about intentional alignment.
If it doesn’t serve my peace, it won’t get my presence.
If it costs me myself, it’s too expensive.
If it doesn’t feel rooted in purpose, I’m not pretending it's productivity.
And For You Too?
Whether you’re 25 or 65, spiritual, skeptical, or somewhere in between. Whether you’re working three jobs or running three companies. You have a right to pause, reflect on your journey, and decide if you will keep going or pivot. And if you’re in your own sacred middle, the halfway point of the year, a career, a relationship, or a self-evolution, I want you to know:
You’re not behind.
You’re not lost.
You’re not too late.
Love, you’re just in your Jubilee. Let it reset you. Let it reintroduce you. Let it remind you of who you are without the pressure to perform.
So ask yourself:
What would shift in my life if I stopped trying to rescue expired expectations?
What would my second half look like if I finally gave myself permission to pivot?
What if Month Six isn’t the end of what didn’t happen, but the beginning of what I was actually meant to birth?
I don’t have all the answers, but I do have clarity, and I’m walking boldly in it. Realigned. Refined. And ready to pivot forward with no apology.
To the woman (or man) that's still becoming, just like me, may Month six be your permission slip, your mirror, your reckoning, and your reset. Because the rest of this year? It’s not just personal. It’s prophetic.
