We keep waiting for a village to show up.
But the truth is, we’re the ones who have to build it.

Sometimes it’s the neighbor you put down as the emergency contact.
Sometimes it’s the school mom friend who reminds you it’s class T-shirt day (again).
Sometimes it’s the abuelita down the street who hems your kid’s uniform pants last minute.

Because the village was never just for the kids. It was always for us, too.

And let’s be real, we need each other.
Even if we don’t want to. Even if we think we’ve got it covered. We can’t possibly do this alone. We have to be active participants in building our village. No one’s coming to do it for us. 🤍

💌 Share this with someone in your village. 🫶

This week’s saves. 💌 which one resonates?

The strongest influence we have on our kids isn’t what we say. It’s what we live. We can preach all day, but if we’re not walking the walk, they’re not hearing it, they’re watching it.

They don’t need more instructions.
They need an example.
You’re the blueprint.

What’s one thing you’re working on modeling more intentionally? ⬇️

If you needed a reminder, this is it.
Doing your own work isn’t just for you. It changes the way you parent. The way you show up in your friendships. In your marriage. In your day-to-day.

You don’t have to be perfect. But showing up with self-awareness, intention, and a little less baggage is one of the greatest gifts you can offer the people you love.

Start with you.
It ripples outward. 🫶♥️

The work you do on yourself? It’s one of the best gifts you can give them.

1.5 million views on my post about adult friendships. If you know Instagram, you know how hard that is, which tells me one thing—this hits.

We all need more grace.

Yes, I hear you, some relationships do feel one-sided, and like I said, those need recalibrating. But the truth is, relationships require commitment. They require hard conversations, tolerance, and showing up even when it’s not convenient.

Because inconvenience is the price we pay for community.

We need each other. Now more than ever.
We are biologically wired for connection.

And while you might try to convince yourself that you’re fine without it, you’re probably not.

Not every relationship is worth holding onto, but some are. And those might just ask you to stretch a little.

Maybe we’ve over-protected our peace to avoid the messiness of being human together. But I think some of us are protecting our peace at the expense of the very connection we’re craving.

Maybe the mess is the point and the healing happens when we stay anyway. 🫶🤍

Every single day, something or someone will try to poke at your peace. To chip away at your joy. But the truth is that your peace and joy are yours. You’re the only one who gets to decide how much of it you hand out.

Before you give your attention away ask yourself “Does this moment, this person, this energy… deserve it?”

Repeat after me:
I do not hand my joy to anyone who hasn’t earned it.
My peace is mine to protect.
I choose where my energy goes,
and I honor the power I have in that choice.

When you start seeing your peace as something worth protecting everything shifts. This is your agency in action. 🫶🤍

Someone needs to hear this:

If you’ve been shape-shifting to keep the peace, make others comfortable, or avoid judgment, it’s no wonder you’re drained.

You deserve places where you don’t have to perform to be accepted. Yes, you might lose some connections in the process but those were built on someone you’re not.

Life is short. And you deserve better than that. 🫶🤍

Save this if it hit home. 💌

I’ve been thinking a lot about friendship lately. How deeply we need it and how hard it can be to maintain as adults.

We’re all stretched thin. Sometimes we forget to respond. Sometimes we disappear. Sometimes we’re the ones dropping the ball.

That’s why adult friendship requires grace.
Grace when someone goes quiet.
Grace when life gets messy.
Grace for ourselves, too. 🫶🤍

What’s been your biggest friendship lesson lately?

The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest is one of my all-time favorite books—packed with truth bombs and the kind of wisdom that finds you right when you need it. These quotes are the kind of reminders you tuck into your pocket for later.

Save them. Screenshot them. Come back to them when you’re in the thick of it. If they speak to you, let them stay with you. 🫶♥️

Hey. Slow down for a second.

You’ve been holding a lot. Doing more than most people even see.
And I know it feels easier to keep going than to stop and feel how tired you actually are.
But your nervous system isn’t built to push nonstop. Neither is your heart.

This weekend, I hope you give yourself what you’re so quick to offer everyone else:
Care. Space. Grace.
Not because you’ve crossed everything off the list but because you matter outside of what you get done. ♥️

Soften. Be still. Say no.
You don’t have to earn that.🙏
