From Chasing “More” to Choosing Freedom

Sherry  Founder of FitCore, Portugal

BACKGROUND

Sherry, an American who had moved to Portugal in search of a better life, founded FitCore — a business combining strength training, wellness services, and healthcare. The concept grew out of her own health challenges, including high blood pressure and a knee injury, and a deeper fear of not aging well and losing her independence. The business was still in its early, hands-on phase, requiring significant manual work and stress management.

THE CHALLENGE

Sherry worried about becoming housebound due to health issues, and felt the weight of the time and flexibility her business demanded. She recognized that her own ambition — the urge to always make things “more” rather than accept “good enough” — had been delaying the freedom she wanted.

INTENTION

To explore what freedom, health, and purpose could look like once she stepped back from the day-to-day of her business.

FUTURE LIFE

Sherry met her spirit guide, Kenichi, and glimpsed her own soul essence — a young, glowing figure with white hair and a silver headband, carrying a light-based superpower.

FUTURE VISION

Path One — Staying the Course: Sherry saw herself in a clean, minimalist creative space in a progressive city, still building FitCore — including a future Tokyo location and a formal business meeting with ten to twelve people, mostly Japanese.

Path Two — Choosing Freedom: On a different thread, Sherry saw herself retreating to a wooden cabin in a remote, pine-forested Nordic country — more of an occasional escape than a permanent home — and later relaxing in a Nordic coffee shop. She pictured tending a garden, representing a simpler new venture, and running an animal rescue sanctuary with around fifteen dogs in a wooded, oak meadow near a pond, tended by an older woman fixing a fence. In this version of her future, FitCore itself ran more autonomously, with someone else handling the administration while she attended only monthly meetings.

MESSAGE FROM FUTURE SELF

Kenichi's guidance was clear: her purpose was to experience life, not to keep proving herself through self-limiting ambition. Her astrology echoed the same message — her soul's direction points toward collective impact (Aquarius North Node), while her current healing lies in self-identity and independence (Aries Chiron). The session closed on a simple symbol: an apple, representing health and healing.

RESULT

Sherry left the session with a renewed sense of freedom and confidence — permission to pursue multiple paths, prioritize her health, and let go of the self-imposed constraints that had been holding her back.
