You can say all the affirmations you want
and still be exhausted.

You can speak positivity
and still let people have access to you that they haven’t earned.

You can “protect your peace”
and still feel drained after every conversation.

Because the truth is—
affirmations without boundaries don’t work.

This episode is about the guilt.
The over-explaining.
The people who are used to you being available, understanding, and flexible…
even when it costs you.

Boundaries aren’t about being mean.
They’re about being done abandoning yourself.

If this made you uncomfortable, sit with that.
If it made you defensive, listen again.
And if it made you feel seen—you’re not alone.

🎧 Episode 2 of New Year, Better Me is live now.

As many times as it takes for somebody to finally choose themselves.
As many times as it takes for survival mode to stop being normalized.
As many times as it takes until rest, boundaries, and healing are treated like non-negotiables — not luxuries.

I’ll keep talking about mental health because too many people are silently drowning while being praised for “handling everything so well.”

If you’re tired of holding it together and ready to actually feel better, not just look strong — tap in.

Let’s be honest.

You don’t need to become somebody else.
You need to stop abandoning yourself.

A better you isn’t shinier.
She’s more honest.
More rested.
More aware of what she will no longer carry.

That’s what New Year, Better Me is about.

No fluff.
No pretending.
Just guided journaling that helps you tell the truth—to yourself first.

Growth looks like:

1️⃣ Saying ‘No’ without a TED Talk.
2️⃣ Not responding to texts that drain you.
3️⃣ Walking away without replaying the conversation in your head.

I wrote about boundaries and emotional freedom in Quiet as Kept because I lived the opposite for too long. The journal prompts in there will have you reclaiming your voice in real life.

Grab the book, grab your pen, and let’s get to work.
