 Change is uncomfortable.

Growth is unsettling.
Self-love can feel selfish.
Do it all anyway.

2.2.26

The darker days can weigh on your mood.
Care for your energy with intention.

Step away from screens.
Seek moments that bring lightness and joy.

2.1.26

You spent so long keeping it together, staying calm, staying small.

You are learning to breath again.

Laughing again. Living again.

This is what emotional safety feels like; you, fully alive.

1.31.26

Healing begins with remembering this truth: you are an adult now. Your worth is not up for debate. Whatever others do or do not do, you have the power to hold yourself with safety, with love, and with dignity.

1.30.26

You are remembering the parts of you that learned to hide.
You are letting them breathe again.
It takes courage to feel after years of staying safe.

Yay you for continuing to be courageous, especially when you don't feel brave.

1.29.26

It is hard to pause.
Hard to feel what once felt unbearable.
But every time you do, you build safety where fear used to live.
That is how you come home to yourself.

1.28.26

 Stop beating yourself up for using food, alcohol, shopping, or screens for comfort. These are simply the ways you have learned to soothe pain, loneliness, and overwhelm. Instead of judging yourself, try to get curious about what comfort you truly need.

1.27.26

Maybe the best thing we can do is heal ourselves.

When we embody our healing, our presence becomes the invitation. Others feel it. They see what is possible, and sometimes they want to join us on that path. 

1.26.26

Maladaptive behaviors are not bad, they are the best ways we once knew to find comfort.

Change starts when we stop judging the behavior and start understanding the need underneath it.

You do not have to punish yourself for needing comfort, and you can learn to offer comfort in new ways.

1.25.26

Judgment is not power.
Control is not confidence.
Perfectionism is not strength.
All of them point to fear.
The moment you stop fighting your fear, you begin to heal.
