If this was happening to your child and they came to you, what would you say?

The greatest power you have is your ability to walk away:

From idiots

From a toxic relationship

From manipulative friendships

From disrespectful coworkers

From environments that drain your energy

Walk away without any explanation. It is not a weakness; it’s self-respect and choosing peace over chaos and prioritizing your mental well-being. Know when to let go and step into a healthier future

It hurts to walk away from someone you care about, but if they aren’t treating you right, it hurts more to stay

Instead of “I should’ve, would’ve, could’ve

shift to

“ I did the best I could with the information I had”

“Time does not heal all wounds; some things are tragic, awful and inexplainable

You glow different when you have good people with good intentions in your life

Knowing what you DON’T want is just as important, if not more important, than knowing what you DO want

Green flags in People:

- They celebrate your wins

- They remember small things about you

- They respect your boundaries

- You feel energized after seeing them

- They listen without being defensive

- They allow you to be fully yourself

- They make you feel safe

- You don’t have to watch what you say

- They support your goals

It takes as long as it takes.

Be kind to yourself.

It’s ok

to not

be ok

When it feels like everything is falling apart, they’re actually falling into place

I didn’t ignore the red flags;

I just didn’t have the life skills to understand the danger

Tell yourself everyday:

I am loved

I am not crazy

I am valued

I am not worthless

I am beautiful

I am intelligent

I deserve to be physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially safe

I am stronger than I think

Crying is healthy

I am not responsible for others’ emotions or actions

I will not feel guilty for things that bring me joy

I will grieve the relationship when I feel ready

Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything, maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you

Not every “Sorry” deserves an “It’s Okay” in return

“For I know the plans I have for you” says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

- Jeremiah 29:11

The life in front of you is far more important than the life behind you

Trauma teaches you to close your heart and armor up

Healing teaches you to open your heart and boundary up

I have survived 100 percent

of my hardest days
