The Selah Journey

12/19/2025

Selah Folks!

If December feels like you're drowning before you reach the finish line, this one's for you.
Tomorrow, I'm hosting a free 90-minute workshop to help us move from just getting by to actually thriving. We'll explore what keeps us stuck and discover a more sustainable path forward.
Plus, I'll help you create a personal vision for what 2026 could look like when you're living fully aligned with who you truly are.

Saturday, December 20th

Let's end this year differently than we started it.

12/18/2025

How many times have you stopped yourself mid-sentence?
You were about to say you're tired. Overwhelmed. Barely keeping it together. Then you caught yourself. "But I'm so blessed." "I should just be grateful." "Other people have it worse."

And just like that, the truth you needed to speak disappears.
This is what we do. We've turned gratitude into something it was never meant to be. A gag order. A guilt trip. A way to dismiss every legitimate struggle we're having.

Gratitude was never meant to be a weapon you use against yourself.
Real gratitude doesn't demand you erase your exhaustion to prove you're thankful. It doesn't ask you to choose between being grateful OR being honest about how hard things are.

You can love what you've built AND acknowledge how much it's costing you. You can be grateful for the opportunity AND exhausted by the demands. You can appreciate your life AND want it to look different.

Both. Always both.

This is today's Selah permission practice—learning that complexity isn't contradiction. That holding two truths at once isn't ungrateful. It's human.
So complete this sentence honestly: "I'm grateful for ___ AND I'm struggling with ___"

You can share one in the comments if it feels right. Or keep it private. Both matter.

"Kudzimva kwabwino ndi mphuno."

To hear oneself well is a gift.

I've been sitting with this African proverb, and it keeps unfolding. Because here's the thing... most of us have spent years learning to hear everyone else. What they need. What they think. What they expect from us.

We've become fluent in external voices. Expert translators of other people's needs.

But somewhere along the way, we forgot how to hear ourselves.
Your gut already knows. Your body already tells you. That quiet inner voice? It's been whispering all along. You've just been taught to turn the volume down on it while turning everyone else's up.

To hear oneself well is a gift. Not because the knowing isn't there. But because we've been conditioned to doubt it. To seek validation outside ourselves instead of trusting the wisdom within.

Today's invitation is this: permission to trust yourself.

You are allowed to listen to yourself. You are allowed to trust what you know. You are allowed to honor your own inner wisdom.

I'm curious... what is your gut telling you today that you've been ignoring? Tell me in the comments below.

P.S. This video is from our Malawi journey - just wanted to share this beautiful African song we learned together.

There's something about a coffee pause that reminds me why today's permission matters so much.

Today's invitation is simple: choose ONE thing to release. One obligation. One commitment. One thing draining more than giving.

And now, as the day winds down, I'm curious...
Did you stop something today? Did you release one thing without guilt? Did you choose what matters most?

Because here's what I'm learning in these quiet moments... to stop something isn't the same as quitting. It's choosing. And that coffee break you take? That pause before saying yes to everything? That's not selfish. That's wisdom.
In case no one told you today: busy isn't a badge of honor. Exhaustion isn't proof you're worthy.

So tell me, what was your ONE thing today? Share in the comments below.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘁.

I'm going to say something that might sting a little.
The version of yourself you're presenting to the world... the one who has it together, who's crushing it, who's handling everything with grace... that version is costing you more than anyone can see.

She's costing you your energy. Your peace. Your ability to just... be.
Because maintaining that exterior takes work. Constant work. The kind that leaves you depleted at the end of every day, wondering why you're so tired when "everything is fine."

This is what misalignment looks like. When who you are on the outside doesn't match who you are on the inside. When you're spending more energy performing than living. When the image you've built requires sacrificing the person beneath it.
Maybe it's time to get honest. Not with everyone. But at least with yourself.
What are you pretending? What's the cost? And is the exterior you've built actually serving you, or are you serving it?

What would it feel like to stop performing, even just for a moment?
If that question landed somewhere uncomfortable, I'm running a FREE 5-day email challenge starting December 15th. Five days. One permission practice per day. No performance required. Just you, getting honest about what's actually costing you.

It's called the Guilt-Free Season Challenge, and it's for women who are done surviving and ready to start actually living. ✨

Distance used to feel like the answer. If I could just get away, change locations, start fresh somewhere new, then maybe I'd find what was missing.

What I learned instead: the journey home to yourself doesn't require miles. It requires space. Permission. The courage to stop running.

This is why virtual coaching matters. Not because it's trendy or convenient, but because transformation can meet you exactly where you are. Right now. In the middle of the exhaustion. In the loneliness that exists even when you're surrounded by people. In that hollow feeling of giving everything and getting nothing back.

My 6-month coaching journey creates space to address what's actually true. Not with steps to climb or performance to maintain. With room to breathe. Tools that honor your whole self. Support as you remember who you are beneath all the doing.

For Cyber Monday, I'm offering this work at a price that honors both your investment and the courage it takes to say "I need support." Not because transformation should be cheap, but because I remember what it felt like to be too tired to see clearly.

Your journey doesn't begin when everything's perfect. It begins when you're ready to be honest about what's true. And sometimes, that starts with a simple conversation.

Let's talk first. Book a free discovery call - no pressure, no performance required. Just honest space to explore where you are and what you need. We'll figure out together if this journey is right for you right now.

Small businesses are built differently. We pour ourselves into our work because it's not just a business—it's a mission we can't not do.

For me, The Selah Journey was born from my own breaking point. The moment I realized the life that looked successful was slowly suffocating me. The moment I chose to run away so I could finally come home to myself.

Now I walk alongside women navigating that same gap—between the life that looks good and the one that actually feels good to live. The exhaustion is real. The loneliness, even when surrounded by people, is real. The feeling that you're giving everything and getting nothing back—that's real too.

This Small Business Saturday, I'm opening my 6-month coaching journey at a reduced investment. Not as a discount, but as a door opening wider for women who've been standing at the threshold.

Thirty-six sessions over six months. Support between our calls. Tools for your whole self, not just your schedule. A community that understands what it means to be tired of performing.

Today it's $2,700 instead of the usual $3,200.

You don't have to keep waiting for the right time. You don't have to earn the right to rest. You don't have to have it all figured out before you begin.

You just have to be ready to stop pretending you do.
