You Aren’t Behind: Embracing Divine Timing in a Fast-Paced World
Have you ever looked at the calendar and felt a sudden pang of panic? Maybe January felt slower than you intended, or a project you hoped would be finished is still in its infancy. In a culture that worships "linear progress," it is easy to feel like you’re falling behind.
But what if you aren’t behind at all? What if you are exactly where you are meant to be?
In a recent episode of Mystical Sisterhood®, Maureen Spielman sat down to reflect on the nature of creative timing, inspired by her time at the Sundance Film Festival. Watching filmmakers debut projects that took years—sometimes decades—to manifest served as a powerful reminder: There is no deadline when it comes to our soul’s work.
The Myth of the Linear Path
We are often taught that growth looks like a straight line pointing upward. In reality, healing, creativity, and conscious becoming happen in layers.
Life isn’t a ladder; it’s a spiral. Sometimes we revisit the same lessons, not because we failed the first time, but because we are ready to integrate them at a deeper level. When we release the expectation of linear progress, we also release the weight of comparison.
Why Rest is Fuel, Not a Pause
One of the most radical things we can do in a "hustle" culture is to honor our need for stillness. Maureen notes that January often carries a slow, reflective energy that many of us try to push past.
Rest is restorative: It repairs the nervous system.
Rest is productive: It allows ideas to marinate in the subconscious.
Rest is essential: You cannot pour from an empty vessel, especially when leading others or raising a family.
If you’ve been feeling the urge to soften and slow down, trust that impulse. Rest isn’t a break from your purpose—it is the very thing that fuels your next leap forward.
Your Voice is a Collective Gift
There is a profound connection between intuition, feminine leadership, and individual expression. When a woman finds the courage to share her story or follow her creative spark, it creates a "collective ripple."
Whether it’s through film, a podcast, or the way you parent your children, your "meaning-making" matters. By honoring your inner voice with patience, you give others permission to do the same. This is how cultural shifts happen—one authentic voice at a time.
Trusting the Divine Order
If you are feeling the pressure to rush, take a deep breath. Remember that the "unseen forces" of your life are often working in your favor, even when the results aren't yet visible.
