Q1 Review, Replay, and Important Announcements!

I apologize for my last post. I didn’t realize that my incomplete draft was scheduled to go live. Please enjoy the clean and edited version below! 

Hey Friends,

Greetings from Dr. Isaac's Achalugo! About a week ago, I made a post on my wedding anniversary, and my goodness, Facebook people ate it and left no crumbs. 😅 Nigerians loooooove a good boy/girl conversation - maybe a little too much. Honestly, there are weightier matters, bikonu! Let’s stay focused on Jesus and WRITING in Jesus' name. Amen?

Speaking of focus, I’m about to step into a personal Quarterly Review with my destiny sisters, and I thought, why not share my Q1 review format with you? If this helps you in any way, hit reply and tell me all about it. I love hearing from you!

Q1 Review Questions

What were the top 3 big wins of the past 3 months and why?

1. Speaking Opportunities - I had the highest number of teaching and speaking engagements this quarter since I started speaking publicly and honestly. I’m not surprised. As we stepped into 2025, I discerned this was coming. I even generated my Word for the Year with AI (yes, I let the robots help me hear God better 😆). I'm beyond grateful because I LOVE teaching. It's a rare gift that transforms others while deeply impacting me, too.

2. Health & Fitness - The real win here isn't just weight loss; it’s knowledge. I’ve gained a deep awareness of my eating patterns, struggles, and strongholds. And let me tell you, grace is real! I even did a 3-day water fast- as in, nothing but water and felt incredible afterward. With all I’m learning, I see this becoming my new normal (Jesus, help your daughter!).

3. Consistent Content - I finally invested in my social media this quarter, and while I’m not getting a million views (yet 👀), I see growth, potential, and coherence. The seeds are being planted, and I’m here for the long game.

   Now, your turn! What are your top 3 wins from this quarter? Hit reply and let me know

What were the 3 biggest challenges, and what did you learn from them?

  1. Dealing with Rejection – This quarter, I heard “NO” so much that it could have been my middle name. I didn’t even realize how deeply it was wounding my soul until I stepped into a Friday meeting with my FRUITFUL Leading sisters. A dear sister shared the lyrics of a song, and I bawled like a baby. Gosh. I literally experienced Psalm 23 -“He restores my soul”- in that moment. God is good. Jesus is so beautifully kind. And I love him to the moon and back.

  2. Divine Direction - Some areas of my life still feel hazy. One big example? Relocation. I can’t put my finger on it yet, but this uncertainty has driven me to seek God even harder. And shebi He said, “Seek and you will find”? I want to find my answers in Him

  3. Disorganization and Distractions - One of my life goals is to be a professional in every area of my life- to show up 100% for my calling, the people God has sent me to, and the assignments He has graced me for. No self-sabotage, no talking myself out of a life of impact and income. But let’s just say… this quarter? Ehn, I didn’t live up to my own standards. My moods dictated too many of my actions instead of my commitments and values. This stops now. I want to be led by purpose, not emotions.

What are the top 3 aspirations for the coming 3 months?

  1. TGOM /Scribe Secrets/SAW Community - As I write this, I’m not completely sure which of these three I should narrow in on. But one thing is certain: I want to see these things fully birthed in 2025. Help me, Lord!

  2. Application Submissions - Some big moves are happening (I’ll spill the tea when the time is right ). For now, just keep me in your prayers. 

  3. Online Courses - I’m currently enrolled in three courses covering storytelling, TEFL, and digital marketing (landing pages, ads, etc). Who sent me? 😭 I’m this close to labeling myself a knowledge junkie! But hey, growth is growth!

🚨 Important Announcement: Your Favorite Author Coach is Going on a Break!

My dearest friends, your girl is about to do something unprecedented - I’m logging off sometime! Yes, yes, I know… "How will we cope?" lol. Don't cry too much; it’s just a short break (even Jesus took time away to recharge!).

But before you start writing me emotional letters (or composing a song in my honor), here’s what you can do while I’m away:

📌 Catch up on my old newsletters here - the wisdom is still hot and waiting for you.

📌 Enjoy some more of my content and follow on IG and YouTube- there’s gold in there!

📌 Work on that book you’ve been thinking about instead of writing, and if you need help, check out my 7-day email course called Scribe Secrets.

I’ll be back soon, refreshed and ready to drop more divine downloads! Until then, stay scribal, stay prayerful, and don’t miss me too much. Happy New Month, and Cheers to a glorious Q2. See you soon! ✍🏽

PS: Enjoy wholesome content like the one I’m recommending below. I watched it a few days ago, and the whole conversation was a spiritually intellectual treat! Gaise Baba and his “uplines” in a free-flowing conversation was too sweet to watch. Kai! You will thank me later.

With all my love,

Ugonne Ann (The Author’s Coach)
