We’ve all had those moments where life humbled us, taught us, or pushed us into our glow-up—sometimes all at the same time. So let’s talk about it…

What’s one moment in your twenties (or thirties) where you felt completely LOST,
but looking back… you realize it was the lesson you needed to LEVEL UP?

Your moment might be the exact reminder another woman needs today.

I didn’t wake up confident.
There wasn’t an “aha” moment where the mirror suddenly loved me back or where society decided my body had finally become convenient for them to accept.

My confidence came slow, like honey in winter.
Thick. Hard.
Barely moving.
Some days sweet, some days sticky.

Just a reminder: you don’t have to have everything figured out today. Breathe. Move with intention. Trust your growth.

I don’t go where I’m not safe.
Not emotionally, not sexually, not physically.
And I don’t entertain “jokes” about my body just to keep the peace. I don’t correct jokes anymore. I just remove access.

Sometimes being “the strong one” feels like a curse. I’ve spent so much of my life holding in my emotions, trying to keep the peace, trying to please everyone until I realized I’d completely lost myself in the process. It’s exhausting pretending everything’s okay when you’re breaking inside.

The truth is, constantly putting others before yourself doesn’t make you kind. It makes you empty. I’ve been smiling through pain, showing up for people who wouldn’t even notice if I disappeared, and now I’m sitting in a dark hole I built trying to keep everyone else happy.

But I’m done shrinking myself to make others comfortable. I’m done swallowing my emotions just to avoid conflict. I deserve peace, too.

I’ve held in so much just to keep the peace. Always trying to please everyone else until I lost myself completely. It’s a dark feeling, realizing how much pain you hid behind a smile. I’m done being the strong one for everyone but me.
