Sometimes we’re our biggest ops! Always go for the thing you would do if the consequences didn’t matter. You’ll be happier with your life in the end because you knew you made a choice for yourself and no one else!

You’re not selfish.You’re just done overextending yourself.

People don’t lie to protect your feelings — they lie to protect their access.
When you know your worth, the truth doesn’t scare you… but it definitely scares the people who benefit from your confusion.
Choose you anyway.

Your worth isn’t up for negotiation.
Remember, you are valuable before anyone else notices. Act like you know! 💁🏾‍♀️

Sometimes the only victory is that you showed up.And that's enough.

God didn’t call you to exhaustion — He called you to stewardship.
Protecting your energy isn’t arrogance; it’s alignment.

So no, you’re not selfish. You’re selective. And that’s wisdom. ✨

You don’t need more control; you need more compassion 😬

When everything in your life has to be perfect, predictable, or “just so,” you don’t get peace — you get pressure.

And here’s the secret:

Trying to control everything is usually your nervous system saying, “I don’t trust that I’m safe unless I manage it all.”

But control doesn’t create safety.

It creates exhaustion.
It steals your joy.
It blocks consistency.
It turns confidence into anxiety.

If you’re a high-achiever who feels like you’re always chasing the next thing, questioning your worth, or struggling to stay motivated unless everything lines up perfectly… this message is for you.

You don’t need more control. You need more compassion.

More rest.
More trust in yourself.
More room to be human.

Because when you let go — just a little — happiness stops feeling like a job and starts feeling like something you actually get to experience.
