Maybe you’re not afraid of success; maybe you’re afraid of what you lose when you achieve your goals.

The more successful you become, the more “out-of-touch” and “unreliable” you’re made to feel by the people around you. Not because they’re jealous, but because life didn’t turn out the way they hoped.

At the same time, it’s the whole reason why you’re afraid to go after what you want.

The truth is that cycle-breaking isn’t sexy. It’s work. And it often means working against the beliefs and values of the people around you.

You’re allowed to change, and you’re allowed to change your mind. That doesn’t mean that the people who love you will abandon you for it.

➡️ Stop abandoning yourself before you allow other people to reject you. Ready to trust yourself AND the people around you?

Let’s unpack the good girl conditioning disguised as being “community-oriented” ⬇️

“If you really loved me, you would do this for me” is guilt-tripping at its finest. But it doesn’t just apply to relationships.

It applies to culture, “community”, work and career. You’re working so hard to prove that you’re enough to belong based on someone else’s racist and misogynistic ideas of love and labor.

You heard it at home. Now you keep hearing it everywhere you go. But instead of questioning it, you’ve internalized it as truth. Little did you know you’re held to a different standard.

On the surface it looks like care. But all you’re really doing is keeping a broken system going. And now you’re over-analyzing your every move because you believe other people’s needs trump yours.

💡 It’s not you, but if you have a hard time believing this, I can help!

Not everyone gets the privilege of knowing you intimately.

It’s not a coincidence that you feel confused by “You don’t owe anybody anything” vs. “You do owe somebody something”. In fact, it’s by design.

The people weaponizing BOTH of these statements have a lot to gain from your self-doubt.

Social media is becoming psychological warfare. Discernment is key, especially if you’re a Brown woman who struggles with a lot of self-neglect and self-abandonment in the name of “culture”.

You don’t have to share everything to be “authentic”. You’re allowed to have privacy—that’s not the same thing as hiding in shame.
