You cannot make someone love you.

And if you struggle with codependency, you will try anyway.

You’ll over-give.
Over-function.
Over-pray.
Over-explain.
Over-own what isn’t even yours.

Because somewhere along the way, you learned that love is something you earn.

In It Begins With You, Jillian Turecki talks about how the relationship you have with yourself shapes every other relationship in your life. When your self-worth is shaky, you will attach it to whether someone chooses you.

And as women of faith, this can get confusing.

We’re taught to be patient.
To forgive.
To persevere.
To pray without ceasing.

But faith is not self-abandonment.

Codependency says:
“If I can just be better, softer, more understanding… he will love me.”

Faith says:
“My worth was established by God, not by someone else’s ability to see it.”

You can pray for your marriage and still accept someone’s free will.

You can believe in restoration and still recognize when someone is unwilling to participate.

You can love deeply and still choose dignity.

Love requires two surrendered hearts.
You cannot force conviction.
You cannot manufacture desire.
You cannot outperform someone’s indifference.

“It begins with you” doesn’t mean you work harder to keep someone.

It means you stop outsourcing your value to whether someone stays.

You can’t make someone love you.

But you can trust God enough to stop chasing what He is not forcing to remain.

And that’s not giving up.

That’s faith.

It’s Not the Storm Itself, But the Story We Tell Ourselves About the Storm

Two people lose a job.
Two people get rejected.
Two people show up late.

One spirals.
One recalibrates.

Same storm. Different story.

Why?
Because it’s rarely the event that determines our emotional response. It’s the interpretation.
• One thinks: “This always happens to me. I’m failing.”
• The other thinks: “This is uncomfortable… but maybe there’s something better.”

Anxiety doesn’t just come from circumstances — it comes from the meaning we attach.

Our beliefs.
Our past experiences.
Our coping skills.
Our nervous system patterns.

Catastrophic thinking says:
• “This is permanent.”
• “This defines me.”
• “I won’t recover.”

Grounded thinking says:
• “This is temporary.”
• “This is data.”
• “I can handle hard things.”

The storm may be real, but the suffering often comes from the storyline.

Here’s the empowering part:
Stories can be rewritten — not with toxic positivity, not by pretending it doesn’t hurt, but by:
• Building awareness
• Questioning automatic thoughts
• Strengthening coping skills
• Calming the nervous system instead of fueling it

Anxiety isn’t weakness — it’s a protective brain trying to predict danger.

Not every storm is a hurricane. Sometimes it’s just weather.
And sometimes… the story we tell ourselves is louder than the wind.

Where’s the line between pleasure, comfort… and numbing?

Pleasure is something you choose
Comfort is something you allow
Numbing is something that quietly starts choosing you

And the tricky part?
They can all look the same from the outside.

A glass of wine.
Scrolling your phone.
Overworking.
Food.
Shopping.
Staying busy.
Staying distracted.

Sometimes the line gets crossed when it feels like you have to have something to have fun…
To relax.
To connect.
To celebrate.
To get through the night.

None of these things are “bad.”
Until they become the requirement instead of the option.

Here’s a gentle way to check in with yourself:

✨ Does this add to my life — or help me avoid it?
✨ Can I enjoy myself without it — or does the idea of that feel uncomfortable?
✨ Do I feel more present afterward — or more checked out?

Numbing isn’t about weakness.
It’s about relief.

Most of us were never taught how to sit with discomfort, feel our feelings, or trust that we can have fun, connection, and joy without needing something external to get us there.

My work isn’t about taking things away.
It’s about helping you notice.

Because awareness is where things start to shift.

You don’t have to hit a rock bottom.
You don’t have to label yourself.
You just get to ask better questions.

And from there…
You get to choose differently — when you’re ready.

QUIT CARRYING WHAT ISN’T YOURS

There’s a quiet way relationships fall apart that doesn’t look dramatic on the outside.

It looks like staying silent.
It looks like minimizing your needs.
It looks like telling yourself, “This isn’t that big of a deal.”
It looks like keeping the peace while slowly abandoning yourself.

This is where codependency often hides.

Not in control.
Not in chaos.
But in self-erasure.

For years, many of us learn to be “easy,” “low-maintenance,” or “understanding,” while our nervous system is screaming that something is missing — connection, repair, affection, presence.

And when you finally speak up, it can feel like you caused the rupture.

But here’s the truth most people miss:

Naming a need does not destroy a relationship.
It reveals whether the relationship can hold truth.

Silence doesn’t preserve love.
It preserves comfort — often for the other person.

From a faith perspective, this matters deeply.

God did not create you to disappear to keep someone else regulated.
You are not disobedient for having needs.
You are not selfish for wanting connection.
You are not ungrateful for asking for more than survival.

Scripture talks about truth setting us free — not silence keeping us safe.

Sometimes obedience to truth looks like disruption.
Sometimes it looks like losing what was to honor who you’re becoming.

And yes — when you stop suppressing yourself, things may shift.
That doesn’t mean you broke it.
It means you stopped carrying it alone.

This work — habits, boundaries, self-worth — isn’t about blaming anyone.
It’s about coming home to yourself.
It’s about trusting that the version of you who finally speaks is not the villain — she’s the one choosing integrity.

You weren’t asking for too much.
You were asking the wrong environment to meet a holy, human need.

And God sees the difference — even when others don’t.

Four things that are making your anxiety worse

1. Saying yes to everyone
When you say yes out of guilt, fear of disappointing others, or wanting to keep the peace, your nervous system pays the price. Overcommitting leads to resentment, exhaustion, and that constant feeling of being behind. Boundaries are not selfish. They are regulating.

2. Alcohol
Alcohol is sneaky. It may feel like it helps in the moment, but it increases anxiety later. It disrupts sleep, spikes stress hormones, and leaves your brain trying to rebalance the next day. What feels like relief often becomes part of the anxiety cycle.

3. Lack of exercise
Movement is not about weight or punishment. It is one of the most effective ways to release stress. When your body does not move, tension builds and anxiety has nowhere to go. Even gentle movement helps regulate emotions and improve sleep.

4. Not putting your oxygen mask on first
When you constantly put yourself last, anxiety gets louder. Taking care of yourself is not a luxury. It is a necessity. You cannot show up grounded for others when you are depleted.

If anxiety or other habits feel overwhelming, you do not have to navigate it alone. I help people understand the why behind their patterns and create realistic, sustainable change.

Stop Looking for Water in Empty Wells

One of the biggest patterns I see in coaching — and one I lived myself — is this:
we keep seeking validation from people who consistently invalidate us.

That’s codependency.

Not because we’re “weak,” but because we’re hoping for closure.
We want proof they care.
We want them to finally understand us.
We convince ourselves this time will be different.

So we go back to them for advice, comfort, reassurance…
and every time, we walk away feeling smaller, confused, or hurt.

Here’s the hard truth:
when someone has shown you they can’t meet you emotionally, continuing to seek their approval keeps you stuck.

Codependency teaches us to override our own knowing and outsource our worth.
It keeps us chasing connection in places that were never safe to begin with.

Healing often starts with one brave decision:
stop asking the wrong people the right questions.

Closure doesn’t usually come from another conversation —
it comes from accepting who someone is, not who we wish they’d be.

This isn’t bitterness.
It’s boundaries.
It’s self-trust.
It’s learning to give yourself the validation you were trained to seek elsewhere.

And that shift?
That’s where freedom begins.

Reflection question:
👉 Who have you been going to for validation that hasn’t actually been safe for you?
(If you’re not ready to name them publicly, just notice it.)

💬 If this resonated and you want more information or resources around codependency and emotional boundaries, feel free to private message me.

Being different isn’t a bad thing. It means that you’re brave enough to be yourself.

Snowy days used to mean something very different to me.

When a storm was coming—or even just a few inches—I saw it as an excuse. An excuse to be “snowed in” and drink. I told myself I was being prepared… but if I’m honest, one of my main concerns was making sure I didn’t run out of alcohol. That was always on the list of “necessities.”

Today? That list looks completely different.

Now I think about snacks my daughter will love. A few cozy treats for myself. I think about slowing down. Being present. Watching her play in the snow instead of numbing myself through it.

And the thing that still amazes me…
Alcohol doesn’t even cross my mind anymore.

What I once thought I needed to have fun or feel happy was actually taking me away from the very moments that create real joy. Real connection. Real memories.

Snowy days aren’t an escape anymore.
They’re an invitation.

And I wouldn’t trade this kind of happiness for anything. 🤍❄️

I know the hard seasons all too well.
I’ve lived them. I’ve walked through them.
And honestly… I’m in an extremely hard one right now.

Life has a way of testing you in ways you never imagined—mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
But what I’ve learned is this: hard seasons aren’t here to break us. They’re here to grow us, refine us, and remind us of what we’re capable of when everything feels heavy.

Even now, I’m choosing to keep showing up.
To keep learning.
To keep trusting that something meaningful is being built—inside of me.

If you’re in a season that feels overwhelming, you’re not weak and you’re not failing. You’re human. And you don’t have to walk through it alone.

If you’re worried about the price of going for it,
you should see the cost of staying right where you are.

Staying in the same patterns.
Repeating the same conversations in your head.
Telling yourself “I’ll deal with this later.”

Change always costs something — time, comfort, vulnerability.
But staying stuck has a cost too… and it usually shows up quietly.

If this post keeps tugging at you, that’s not random.
It might be your sign that you’re ready for something different —
and that support doesn’t have to mean doing life the hard way anymore.

I’m opening space for people who are ready to stop circling and start shifting.
When you’re ready, the door is open.

“I thought this was just who I am.”

So many people live with anxiety for so long that it starts to feel like their personality.

“I’m just a worrier.”
“I’ve always been high-strung.”
“Isn’t everyone like this?”

When anxiety becomes your normal, you stop questioning it. You assume this constant state of tension, overthinking, and alertness is just how life feels.

Yes—there can be biological factors. Yes—life experiences matter.
But anxiety is not an end-all, be-all or a life sentence.

You don’t have to live in a constant state of hypervigilance.
You don’t have to feel high-strung all the time.
And you don’t have to just “manage” it forever.

You can learn how to navigate anxiety.
You can bring it down several notches.
And you can create a life that feels calmer, steadier, and more peaceful.

There are tools. There is support. And there is another way—especially when you walk alongside someone who understands this from the inside out.

You’re not broken.
You’re not stuck.
And this doesn’t have to be “just who you are.” 🤍

“Have you ever thought anxiety was just who you are?”
