Attuning To The Subtle Ache

Hello! I am Wishing everyone who celebrates a Happy Holidays and New Year as we head into 2026!

I know I haven’t sent an email to this list in a long time (and I plan to send more emails in 2026), but I wanted to share something I believe could be immensely valuable in 2026.

What would happen if you attuned to that subtle, yet restless ache at the seat of your heart?

The one that you might not always feel or notice viscerally, but gnaws existentially at the core of your being in your most vulnerable moments, as the busyness ceases and the distractions fall away?

However the ache reveals itself, I’ve noticed in myself, friends, and client work that this ache carries a sacred message that speaks to every human if we have the courage to listen:

This is not what it’s all about.  There is more to life than this. There is more of you waiting to be lived.

This ache, as I’ve come to learn, is the longing of our SOUL (which is inseparable from the Earth and the Cosmos as a whole) to reach its fullest expression, to inhabit its ultimate place, to give its gifts fully, love freely, and to live the life it came here to live.

As the consequences of humanity’s egocentric, adolescent, soul-suppressing consciousness becomes increasingly pervasive, this subtle ache at the seat of the heart is revealing itself to more and more people.

And as we head into 2026, deeper into the most defining era of humanity’s history, the most important thing we could all do is attune to that ache.  

To stop running from it. To stop hiding from it. To stop writing it off as mere dissatisfaction. 

This ache is not a problem to be fixed, it’s your deepest truth waiting to be lived.

Your greatest gift waiting to be given.

Deep down you know this.

I tell you this with abundant love in my heart: You are safe to drop the mask, to let go of the outdated story you’ve been living, and to release the weight of who you thought you had to be.

The ego will resist this, but deep in the seat of your soul there’s a knowing that you did not come here to play small, to continue inhabiting used up, inauthentic identities.

This subtle ache is both the recognition that we are living out of alignment, and it’s the soul’s yearning for something more good, true, and beautiful to emerge through us. 

The first step towards living from our deepest truth is to first attune to the subtle ache, even if it seems like “no big deal.”

To sit with it whenever it is present, to fully feel it, to allow yourself to be moved by it, to contemplate it. 

This is of utmost importance. Seriously. Not just for your well-being but for all of our well-being.

This ache, when consistently attuned to, will reveal itself as a portal to your soul, your most authentic self.

Just trust me on this one guys :)

Happy New Year!

P.S. I do not typically advertise my coaching but I wanted to let you all know I have 2 slots open for the New Year. For anyone that is beginning to listen to this subtle ache and desires to walk deeper through the portal to soul, we may be in resonance for a mentorship. 

2026 is also the first time I am offering 1 year mentorships. If you feel a mysterious, slightly fear-inducing, but nonetheless alluring intuition that 2026 has something “big” in store for you, perhaps this is the year we walk together. 

You can click this link for more info on my services (including pricing), as well as find an opportunity to book a Discovery Call to see if we are in resonance to work together: https://calendly.com/wyethsterling/discovery-call-60-min
