We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. - Albert Einstein
Dear Brilliant Community,
I’ve been thinking about rainbows lately.
How they don’t arrive randomly—
They show up when light meets the remnants of a storm.
Sunlight, water, and just the right angle.
The magic isn’t in the weather.
The magic is in the alignment.
That’s what clarity is.
It’s not just something you find—
It’s something that happens when your internal knowing meets the external moment.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve talked about a lot:
Noticing the purple (before jumping to the how)
Folding the fabric of time and doubt (The Tesseract)
Carrying your towel, even when the way forward is unclear
Trusting your senus—the genius of community
And remembering that when you hear “no,” it’s only a pivot toward your “yes”
Each of those reflections has been part of the larger unfolding.
And now, it's ready to become
something tangible.
Something communal.
Something that helps others navigate toward their own brilliance.

🌈 Introducing: The Clarity Lab
This September, I’ll be opening the first cohort of a 5-week offering I’m calling The Clarity Lab.
It’s for people sitting on ideas—businesses, projects, dreams—and finally ready to shape them with purpose and structure.
Inside The Clarity Lab, we’ll work together using the Design-thinking four-part framework:
What Is → What If → What Wows → What Works
We’ll build live, co-working-style clarity in community.
We’ll use the design thinking framework and tools like the Lean Canvas and SWOT analysis, to see the rainbow of your work—then act on it.
This is about moving from concept to clarity.
From fog to forward motion.
💡 Why now?
Because I've been that person —
Sitting with a vision and no language for it.
Holding onto a dream but unsure how to shape it into something real.
The Clarity Lab is my answer to that season.
A place to pause, reflect, and build — together.
There’s always something waiting in you.
Something quietly knocking.
Clarity isn’t about certainty.
It’s about alignment.
If you’ve been:
Wrestling with a new direction
Holding back on a business idea
Overthinking your next step …this might be for you.
You can join the early interest list by completing the form http://bit.ly/4lFknzG or hitting reply and let me know you’re interested.
More soon.
Clarity is coming.
And like the rainbow, it won’t be loud.
But when it arrives, you’ll know.
With you in the field,
Soyini
