The Moment Before It Manifests | EP 528

🔗 Mentioned on this Episode: Show Notes 👈

You know those moments where something feels “off,” but deep down… you know it’s just the shift before a breakthrough?

In this minisode, I’m sharing my take on what it really feels like to be in the moment before something big manifests. Whether it’s a personal decision, a business pivot, or a creative reinvention. The discomfort isn’t a sign to quit. It’s a sign you’re expanding.

We’ll talk about how to lead yourself with softness and structure during transitions and how to move through liminal seasons with power and intention, while keeping your nervous system grounded and your vision intact.

Episode Transcript

Sheila (00:01):
I've been doing this long enough to know that the
moment before something reallypowerful manifests, it rarely
feels clean.
Sometimes it feels like chaos,like restlessness, like
nothing's happening when, infact, everything is happening.
This episode is your reminderthat when you're in the middle
of the shift, you don't need topush, you need to anchor in.

(00:24):
In the middle of the shift, youdon't need to push, you need to
anchor in, because people likeyou, who know how to move
through this moment, they buildthings that actually last.
Hi, welcome to the podcast.
I'm Sheila Botelho.
This is a mini-sode designed tohelp you live into what lights
you up this week.
I wanted to speak directly toyou today, the version of you

(00:47):
who's been quietly doing thework refining, reflecting and
realigning.
You're not the beginner andyou're no longer chasing, but
you're still becoming, andthat's why this message is going
to land for you, because youmight be in a season right now

(01:07):
that feels a little undefined,like something's shifting under
the surface, but it hasn't takenfull form yet.
I want to talk about the momentbefore it all comes together,
before it manifests.
This is a moment I know welland one I've watched my most
seasoned clients navigate againand again.

(01:27):
It's not the beginning, it'snot that afterglow feeling that
you get.
It's really the pause betweenwhat you've called in and when
it lands.
You know the space I'm talkingabout.
Sometimes it feels really softand sacred, like you're just,
you're on the cusp, it's aboutto come, and other times which
almost seems like more often itfeels uncomfortable, like you

(01:50):
want to do something, but everypart of you knows the most
powerful move is just to wait,to listen and to just stay
aligned with the work you'redoing.
Right now, my family, myhusband and I also are moving
through a time, energeticallyand seasonally, where what was

(02:10):
seeded earlier this year isstarting to ripen and you feel
this deep inner knowing thisthing that you've been visioning
is almost here.
But it might be showing updifferently than you imagine,
and that is what's happening forme.
It happens in new conversations, unexpected opportunities that
come out of the blue, orseemingly so quiet endings that

(02:35):
make space for new beginnings.
And this is the magic of livingin sync with the seasons of
your business and your body.
In sync with the seasons ofyour business and your body.
Because one thing that I'venoticed as I've been living more
and more into my purpose and,of course, our purpose shifts
over time, is my artist's lens,the part of me that creates

(02:59):
before she explains, who allowsthings to evolve in private
before presenting them to theworld.
And what I found is that thismoment, this kind of like
pre-manifestation space, isactually part of the creative
process.
It's where the most profoundshifts happen, if you let them,

(03:19):
because we know success is notlinear.
It's not like we go to point A,then point B, we're at point C
and it's just, oh, all comestogether.
Usually, as we start to eventaking our first step, we see
other possibilities opening up.
And this is so powerful whenyou are aware of it in real time

(03:41):
, because we often can forgetand that's where the impatience
can show up when we have thisplan and it's not going exactly
to plan, but truly like.
For instance, when I think aboutearlier this year, I found
myself starting to question alot of different things that I
put out into my list of thingsthat I wanted to do this year,

(04:05):
like my goal sphere, if you willand it seemed like some doors
kept closing and then, as I keptmoving forward, I saw new
opportunities open up, like Isaid, out of the blue.
And what was very interestingabout this is I allowed myself

(04:26):
to be really present in thosemoments to really walk through
what I was feeling, what I wasthinking, all the ideas.
My morning walks are usuallythe best place for me to do that
, and that was when I started tosee the picture.
The full picture start toemerge, at least this next
season of the picture, and so Iinvite you to really think about

(04:49):
where you're at, what you arereally wanting to happen next in
your life, in your business, inyour relationships, and think
about the day-to-day, whatyou're doing every single day.
That consistency that we talkabout, that is so necessary for
all of us to actually see thethings we want to come to life,
or at least some version of them.

(05:10):
And I want you to look at thatwith more of a sacred feeling
inside of yourself that you arewaking up every day and you're
doing something that's movingyou forward.
Even if it doesn't feel likeyou're moving forward, you feel
like you're going through themotions.
Just know that that very act oftrust is getting you closer and

(05:36):
closer to those things that arewaiting for you on the other
side of that consistency.
So I want to offer this to youthis week.
Don't mistake stillness forstuckness.
At this level of, perhaps,leadership in your life, your

(05:57):
edge is not in doing more.
It's in knowing when to pauseand having the structure in your
life and business that allowsyou to breathe in that pause.
The most successful people thatI have worked with have learned
how to build businesses thathonor this, where rest is truly
productive and where being inrhythm with yourself actually is

(06:19):
the strategy.
It's very unique to you.
So if you're feeling a little inbetween this week, that is not
a flaw in your plan.
It might actually be the exactproof that your next level is
actually around the corner.
So keep moving how you move,keep listening, keep choosing
that version of success thatfeels good in your body, because

(06:42):
that's where the long gamelives.
And if you want more support inbuilding a business that
supports your real life, notjust the highlight reel, check
out my programs, my offerings inthe show notes.
I work with founders to dealwith high impact, low burnout,
growth through your actual livedexperience.

(07:05):
And if you wanna stay in theloop for everything new I'm
creating, including a privateepisodes behind the scenes, live
calls, all the things make surethat you're on my list, and you
can actually take a look in theshow notes to do that as well.
So I'm sending you all of theblessings and I will see you on
the next episode.
Thank you.
