Becoming: Why Self-Leadership Matters Most in Seasons of Change
Who will I become now?
Series Introduction: Becoming—Self-Leadership for Women in Transition
There are moments in life when everything feels unfamiliar.
The roles you’ve worn for years begin to shift.
The rhythm of your days changes.
The version of yourself you’ve known… starts evolving.
Maybe you’re a military spouse preparing for another move—or adjusting to life after deployment.
Maybe your children have just left home.
Maybe you’re stepping into motherhood for the first time, or into marriage with equal parts love and uncertainty.
Maybe you’re simply in the middle of a quiet but seismic inner change.
These are threshold moments.
And while they often happen quietly—without fanfare—they mark the beginning of a new chapter.
In these in-between spaces, one question rises:
Who will I become now?
What Is Self-Leadership—and Why Does It Matter?
Self-leadership is the art and practice of guiding yourself with purpose, clarity, and courage.
It’s how you show up when no one is watching.
It’s how you keep moving when the path isn’t clear.
It’s how you hold space for your own growth, even while life is in flux.
True self-leadership isn’t about control.
It’s about alignment.
It’s about choosing who you want to be—regardless of your circumstances—and then building your thoughts, choices, and actions around that vision.
Especially in transitions, self-leadership becomes a lifeline.
It keeps you anchored to your values when everything else feels fluid.
It helps you resist the urge to shrink or stay stuck.
It calls you to rise, gently but powerfully, into your next season.
