I just turned ✨27✨ and honestly, this trip around the sun was a hard one.
Exactly 1 yr ago, everything was going down hill.
My uncle Heath tragically di3d in a motorcycle accident — I watched my mom lose her brother, my grandparents their son, my cousin his dad.
My papa was in the hospital for the summer. His son was gone while he was literally stuck in a nursing facility w/ heart failure.
My family was traumatized. For the next 6 months, I felt myself shrinking.
I was doing the bare minimum as a biz owner & had a REALLY hard time finding the balance.
I was trying to run a business, show up for my clients —they were unbelievably supportive & kept me going — be there for my family & visit my papa nearly every single day.
At the same time, I was trying to protect my body from an autoimmune flare up from the trauma of it all.
I felt like if I didn’t start making some changes, I was going to be headed down a hard path of struggling with my own health again & I didn’t want to think about the consequences.
So ~6 months ago, I started letting go of versions of me that were playing it small.
I let go of the idea that doing more = doing better.
I chose alignment with the type of women I work with, how I’m growing my business, how I’m showing up for myself.
I outgrew versions of me operating in survival mode.
I took insane responsibility for my internal health & honored my body’s signals instead of ignoring them.
I invested in mentorship again, which scared the HELL out of me but I knew I needed it and couldn’t put it off.
This past year I built a new standard for myself that keeps fking going when life gets hard.
And it’s proving successful, bc I didn’t crumble when last week my car got destroyeddd… In the SAME ACCIDENT situation that my uncle had exactly a year ago.
I counted my blessings that he was watching over me, took action, kept going.
I LOVE that I have become a woman who is massively aligned, embodies her femininity with softness AND stands on business 💅🏻
I LOVE that I have taken ownership over my health, my body, my life and am white-knuckle-dying-grip the reins.
I LOVE that I am resilient.
Here’s to another trip💫🤍
