Hello Friends,
I chose the name, Being, for this newsletter, my membership, and everything it will grow into because, at the root of everything we do or create, we must first be. We’ve been taught the opposite: that if we do enough and have enough, then we’ll finally become someone worthy.
But real, lasting change begins within.
Your life, as it is today, reflects who you’re being and who you’ve been.
I’ve written before about how our beliefs shape our lives. But let’s take that deeper. Our sense of being is shaped by what we believe. And our beliefs—many of which are unconscious—form the lens through which we see ourselves, others, and the world.
These beliefs shape our thoughts.
Our thoughts shape our habits.
Our habits become our patterns.
Our patterns create our life.
So if your current experience feels heavy, misaligned, or too small, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It may mean that something is ready to shift.
That feeling is feedback. It’s a signal. It’s a quiet invitation to pause and come back to center.
To ask yourself:
Who am I being right now?*
Not the version you’re curating online. Not the version your family expects. Not who you wish you were. Not who you think you should be. But who you are today.
What traits define you right now? What traits are leading the way? What thoughts are on loop? What choices are on repeat? What beliefs are still whispering in the background?
Let this sink in for a moment:
The person you’re being right now is the one who
does what you do and has what you have.
The truth can sting and trigger you, but it can also set you free. When you take full responsibility for your being, you take your power back. You begin to align who you are with what you actually want.
Many people try to change their lives by forcing new habits or chasing new outcomes—myself included. But real transformation doesn’t start with doing. Real, deep transformation begins with shifting your way of being.
How can you reconnect to the truth of who you are becoming—and start to live from that place?
Spend some time with these questions.
Journal, reflect in silence, or speak them aloud.
Who am I being right now?
What part of me is making decisions?
Where am I moving from fear instead of trust?
What can I release and let go of?
Who am I becoming, and what does that version of me believe, think, feel, and do?
Once you’ve spent time with those questions, take a moment and write this out:
The version of me I’m becoming is…
They think like…
They move like…
They speak like…
They feel…
They treat others…
They treat themselves…
After naming the version of you that feels most true to you, ask:
What’s one small thing I can do today that this version of me would do?
Start there. Let it be simple. Let it be sacred.
Maybe it’s going for a walk in nature instead of scrolling.
Maybe it’s drinking water before coffee.
Maybe it’s resting without guilt.
Maybe it’s saying no or taking a breath before saying yes.
Maybe it’s asking for help.
Maybe it’s writing your ideas down instead of holding them in.
Maybe it’s speaking up even when your voice shakes.
Maybe it’s listening to your own rhythm instead of the world’s urgency.
Listen. It doesn’t need to be huge and dramatic, but let it be real.
You don’t need to prove yourself. You don’t need to wait until you’re ready. You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t have to overachieve your way to peace. The person you’re becoming already lives inside you. Start acting like them. You’re already enough. Say it out loud: "I am enough.”
And no matter what it feels like today:
You’re not too much.
You’re not too late.
You’re right on time.
With love,
Oge

P.S. If you’d like something simple to return to, here’s a quick recap — and a practice to help you embody it.
In short
Being first. Then doing. Then having.
Once you embody a new level of being, the doing becomes natural, and the having becomes inevitable — because it all flows from the essence of who you are.
*To support this, I recorded a 10-minute meditation for you — a space to pause, reconnect, and step into the intention of Begin With Being.
Come back to this practice whenever the noise feels too loud, whenever you forget who you are, or simply when you need to come home to yourself.
The person you are being shapes the life you are living. <3
