✨Life Update✨
Lately, I’ve been sitting with this truth:
🕊 You can’t hold space for others if you never make space for yourself.
After surgery, I’ve been in a slow, quiet season — at least physically.
But I’ll be honest: I haven’t quite slowed down on the inside.
Not yet. Not fully.
I haven’t taken the time I thought I would to really pause, or to listen for God in it all. And maybe that’s part of what’s been so confronting — the gap between knowing I need rest and actually allowing it.
This is the first time I’ve experienced a physical injury like this. And it’s reminded me that physical trauma is emotional, too.
It’s stirred up grief, frustration, identity shifts, and moments of real vulnerability.
I’ve realised that continuing to do therapy as usual right now would mean pushing past my own capacity — and that’s not how I want to lead, live, or love the families I support.
So I’m choosing something different.
🫶🏽I’m choosing less doing, more being.
🫶🏽Less urgency, more presence.
🫶🏽Less performance, more purpose.
For now, that means fewer therapy sessions — and more time spent regathering:
🌿 My energy
🌿 My creativity
🌿 My heart for this work
I look forward to continuing to support my families in this season — in ways that are intentional, reflective, and deeply grounded.
Sometimes, the most important work happens in the quiet — even if we’re still learning how to enter it.
With love,
Chanté 🤍
