"It’s A Season. Not A Sentence."

This week on WORDS MATTER, Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, dives into a phrase that’s become her personal anchor:

“It’s a season. Not a sentence.”

The original author is unknown — but the impact? Undeniable.

This episode speaks to the foggy, frustrating, in-between seasons we never asked for. Whether you're walking through grief, burnout, perimenopause, transition, or simply a life that looks nothing like you imagined — this one’s for you.

With raw truth, heartfelt honesty, and a touch of humor, Deanna gives voice to what so many women are carrying but rarely get to say out loud — and yes, that includes full-on fist-pumping her way through perimenopause.

What Listeners Will Learn:
• Why no season — even the hard ones — lasts forever
• How to stay anchored to yourself when the ground beneath you shifts
• What Deanna means by “I deal with it, so I can heal with it”
• How breathwork, movement, truth-telling, and rituals keep you from disappearing in the hard
• A loving reminder that your identity is not defined by this chapter
