I had a huge realization not too long ago ….and it made my heart feel frozen within my chest.
For most of my adult life, I thought I was strong because I could survive anything.
I could keep moving through chaos, smile when I wanted to scream, hold everything together so no one saw me fall apart.
But what I’ve realized is that I wasn’t strong…
I was surviving.
I was existing in fight-or-flight mode….mistaking adrenaline for empowerment, and numbness for peace.
The version of me who could hold it all without breaking wasn’t powerful….she was tired.
She was burnt out from being the glue, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the everything.
Real strength, I’ve learned, isn’t found in pretending we’re okay.
It’s found in the quiet moments when we finally let ourselves rest.
It’s found in asking for help, in slowing down, in saying no without over-explaining.
It’s in choosing softness over self-sacrifice.
That realization became the foundation for how I wish to live….
and for how I coach.
Because the truth is, survival isn’t sustainable.
And you don’t have to live your whole life holding your breath, waiting for the next breakdown.
If you’re ready to move from surviving to building something beautiful ….
to build real strength rooted in peace….
let’s talk about 1:1 coaching.
It’s time to rebuild your life with softness, structure, and soul✨
