Where Did My Momentum Go? Reclaiming Power in the Pause | EP 526

🔗 Mentioned on this Episode: Show Notes 👈

You’ve done the work. Built the thing. Hit those high 5-figure to 7-figure marks and yet, lately, the energy feels different. The fire that used to push you forward? Duller. The wins? Quieter. If you’re wondering where your momentum went, you’re not alone. 

In this minisode, I’m sharing what this stall might really be trying to tell you. From shifting client behavior to the rise of AI reshaping how we connect and market, the landscape has changed and it’s asking something different of you. This is the invitation seasoned leaders are being handed right now: to pause, refine, and realign before the next wave.

I’ll also introduce the Vision Map™. This is the tool I guide my clients through when they’re ready to move forward without pressure and from precision. This is your next step toward aligned momentum. One that feels lighter, clearer, and built to last.

Sheila (00:00):
You've built a business that's meaningful, maybe even
multi, six or seven figures, andyet lately, something's shifted
.
The momentum feels flatter.
The old way of pushing, notlanding.
Everyone around you seemslouder, faster, shinier.
But here's what I've seen overand over the most successful
founders don't chase the noise,they pause, they refine, and

(00:22):
when they do, they create fromclarity, and that clarity makes
them unstoppable.
In this episode, I will showyou how to shift out of the
stall and into real tractionagain without burning yourself
out.
Hi, welcome to the podcast.
I'm Sheila Botelho and Ibelieve success starts from the
inside out, and you're listeningto a mini-sode designed to help

(00:44):
you live into what lights youup this week.
So, as we mentioned, you'vebuilt something real.
You've shown up consistently.
You've moved through seasonswhere most people would have
tapped out.
So right now you're wonderingwhere did my momentum go?
You're not alone.
This is one of the most commonpatterns that I see in the

(01:04):
founders that I coach,especially the ones who've grown
quickly in the past three tofive years.
So much has shifted.
You're not doing anything wrong.
In fact, this moment, thisslowdown you may be feeling, is
often the first sign of yournext level, trying to break
through.
We've been through major marketshifts.
Tech has changed how peopleconsume, buy and trust, and AI

(01:28):
is cutting through the noise,but it's also making a lot of
other things feel noisier.
And your clients, well, they'veevolved too.
They want depth, they wantresonance, they want to know
you're not just selling themwhat worked in 2021.
So, of course, you're feelingit.
What I want to offer you todayis a reframe.

(01:48):
This is not a breakdown.
It's a briefing.
Your system is letting you knowwhat got you here will not take
you to the next place you'remeant to go.
It's also where the inner workcomes back into focus, because
when momentum slows, it caneither mean you're out of
alignment or you're exactly inalignment and the world just has

(02:12):
not caught up yet.
Both require space, bothrequire recalibration.
I recently watched a client ofmine, a founder, who's been
scaling for seven years and shehit this exact wall.
She was getting bored.
Actually, she was brilliant,but she hadn't really taken a

(02:33):
look to see how her vision hasshifted, clearly, holistically.
Not only did her clarity return, but also her fire returned.
She trimmed her offers,delegated smarter and in just
one month, her numbers startedto bounce back with less effort,

(02:56):
and that is why I created theVision Map, a tool I use with
clients to shift from hustlemode to intention-led growth.
In less than a week, you'lluncover what is truly yours to
focus on now, and not whatworked then, not what others say
is trending, but what's alignedwith your next evolution.

(03:16):
So you can grab that via thelink in the show notes or in the
description below, and it'swaiting for you there.
Thank you for listening.
If this episode landed with you, share it with another founder
who's been quietly questioningwhere their spark went, and I'll
see you in a few days on thenext episode.
Thank you.
