There’s something about summer that shifts things.
Not in a dramatic, everything-changes kind of way—
but in the subtle ways that matter.

The warmer air.
The longer light.
The way being outside makes you breathe a little deeper and feel a little more present.

It’s not like the other seasons.
Summer holds space for slowness and growth.
For doing less, but becoming more.
For reconnecting with what makes you feel alive—without overthinking it.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to move through seasons on autopilot.

To blink and suddenly it’s fall again and you’re wondering where the time went.

But not this summer.
Not this time.

This season, I’m doing it differently.
I’m being intentional.

More walks.
More grounding.
More memories that feel like me.
More of the things that actually move me forward—not just keep me busy.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to shake things up, try something new, or simply live a little slower and more on purpose—this is it.

Let this be the summer you feel the shift.
And if you’re making changes too, tell me what you’re leaning into.

At 21, I wanted answers.
Fresh out of college, confused, unsure of myself.
I wanted to feel better fast.
I wanted to heal, grow, change—
but mostly, I wanted to be done with the messy parts.

Now at 27?
I know better.
I know that growth doesn’t come with a timeline.
That clarity comes in layers.
That healing is a process, not a destination.

And honestly?
It’s not even about learning brand new things.
It’s about seeing everything I’ve already known—
through clearer eyes.
Through a version of me that is done wasting time staying stuck.
Done with the cycles.
Done pretending confusion is an excuse.

The changes I’ve made over the last six years didn’t happen all at once.
They happened in quiet decisions.
Real and honest reflections.
Hard conversations.
Tiny shifts in how I treat myself, how I move, how I love, how I show up.

And suddenly—it’s clicking in a different way. Not forcing anything this time.
Not because everything is perfect,
but because I’m no longer rushing to “get there.”

I’m in it.
Learning. Growing. Trying again.
Making the effort not to be someone else,
but to come home to who I’ve always been underneath the pressure.

21-year-old me would be proud of this version.
Not because I have it all figured out—
but because I kept going even when I thought I knew it all.
Because I stopped performing and started becoming.

If you’re in the middle of your own messy, beautiful becoming—
I’m with you.

DM me if you want to talk about it.

The healing.
The growth.
The resistance.
The real stuff.

We don’t have to figure it all out today.
But we can take the next step—together.

And if you want to hear more about what this shift has looked like for me,

Episode 157 of Raising Serotonin dives deeper into all of it.
Give it a listen—I think it’ll meet you right where you are.

There was a time when I thought self-love meant bubble baths and affirmations.
And don’t get me wrong—those things can be beautiful.

But real self-love? It’s deeper.
It’s being honest with yourself.
It’s making decisions that your future self will thank you for.
It’s saying, “I know better now, so I’m going to do better.”

And that part? That doing part?
That’s what changes your life.

Because waiting—waiting for the timing to be perfect, for motivation to hit, for clarity to land in your lap—doesn’t bring you forward.
Taking action does.

We don’t stay the same.
Even when you think you’re stuck, your body and mind are still moving—so you might as well move with intention.

Shift. Try new things. Learn. Unlearn. Grow.

I used to think change meant something was wrong with me.
Now I see it clearly:
Growth is the highest form of self-love.
It’s choosing to evolve—even when it’s messy.
Even when it’s scary.
Even when no one else gets it yet.

You are allowed to change your mind.
You are meant to outgrow versions of yourself that no longer fit.
You are capable of doing hard things—and doing them with grace.

So stop waiting for a sign.
You are the sign.
And the longer you wait, the longer you stay exactly where you don’t want to be.

Self-love is your superpower.
But only if you use it.

Let’s grow.
Are you ready? Drop me a comment if you are ready to live your best life!

Some days I have to remind myself—loudly, gently, again and again:

No one gets to decide how I show up.
Not my past.
Not other people’s expectations.
Not the voice that tells me I’m “too much” or “not enough.”

That power? It’s mine.

And this life?
It’s the only one I get.
No rewind. No rehearsal.
Just this one, beautiful, messy, unpredictable ride.
So why waste it being anyone but fully me?

I spent too long searching for validation in all the wrong places.
Thinking love had to be earned.
That worth came with approval.
That I had to fix myself to be lovable.

But here’s the truth:
You can’t pour love into someone else’s cup when yours is bone dry.
You can’t give what you don’t believe you deserve.

So I’m learning.
To meet myself with softness.
To see this life as a gift.
To take the reins back, even when my hands shake.

Because how I live, how I love, how I show up?
That’s on me.
And I want it to be real.

There’s no manual for this life thing.

No checklist that guarantees peace.
No perfect timing for clarity or confidence.
No straight line from where you are to where you hope to be.

Some days you’ll feel like you’re thriving.
Other days? Like you’re crawling through mud with no map and no end in sight.

But here’s what I’ve learned:
Growth doesn’t happen by accident.
You either evolve, or you repeat.
You either look at the patterns and choose differently—or you keep spinning in circles, wondering why nothing changes.

And trust me, I’ve done both.

I’ve stayed stuck because it was familiar.
I’ve ignored my gut because it was easier.
I’ve doubted myself into paralysis.
But none of that brought me peace.

What did?
Choosing—imperfectly, inconsistently, and sometimes painfully—to do the work.

To sit with the hard emotions instead of stuffing them down.
To ask for help even when pride whispered “don’t.”
To stretch, shift, forgive, release, try again.

Because the truth is: we’re all climbing something.
A past.
A fear.
A pattern.
A dream that feels out of reach.
And maybe—just maybe—you were assigned that mountain so someone else could see that it can be moved.

So no, figuring out life isn’t easy.
But it’s worth it.
You are worth it.

Keep going.
Keep evolving.
The view gets better the higher you climb.
You know it’s worth it.

May felt .. weird?
Not in a dramatic, everything-is-crashing-down way- just that quiet kind of off.
The kind where your energy dips.
Your mood feels heavier.
Old patterns sneak back in when you’re tired or stretched thin.

I had some hard days.
Days where I questioned if I was really growing at all.
Days where I felt like I was slipping into a version of me I’ve worked hard to outgrow.

But here’s the thing:

Even with those moments, May still held so much good.
I spent time doing things that brought me joy.

Things that stretched me—pulled me out of my comfort zone in the best way.

Things that reminded me I’m capable of more than I sometimes give myself credit for.

Because growth isn’t one-note.
It’s layered.

It’s being able to hold both—the hard and the beautiful.

The moments where you question everything, and the ones where you feel so alive you could burst.

So no, May wasn’t perfect.
But it was honest.
It was real.

And it reminded me that even the messiest months can move us forward in ways we don’t always see right away.

Here’s to June.

To carrying the lessons, not the weight.
To soft strength, bold steps, and trusting that we’re still becoming—even when it’s hard.
Especially when it’s hard.

Because, you can do hard things.
You’re born for them.

20/05/2025

There was a moment—not dramatic, just quiet—when I realized I was waiting.

Waiting for a “sign.”
For someone to tell me I was ready.
For the fear to go away before I made a move.

But no one came.
No one gave me permission.
And eventually, I had to ask myself:
What if this is it?
What if this one life is the only shot I get to find out what’s really inside me?

That question cracked something open.

Because the truth is, no one is coming to live this life for you.
No one else knows what you could create, feel, heal, become—but you.

And the only way to find out?
Is to try.
To show up.
To risk failing, and try again.
To bet on yourself even when it feels shaky.

I’m still figuring it out.
Still learning what I’m made of.
But I can tell you this: the most powerful moments come when you stop outsourcing your potential and start stepping into it—messy, real, unsure and all.

You don’t need more time.
You need to trust that this is the time.
Because this life?
It’s yours.
And you’re the only one who can find out how far you can go.

I lost myself in college.
Not all at once—but slowly, in the quiet ways that don’t always look like anything from the outside.

I didn’t have resilience back then.
I didn’t love myself.
I based my worth on how I looked, how others viewed me, how well I could keep it together.
And underneath it all, I was exhausted from trying to be someone I wasn’t.

Confidence?
It felt out of reach—something people had, not something you built.

But here’s what I know now:
Confidence doesn’t come from being perfect.
It comes from walking through hard things and realizing you can handle them.

From setting boundaries and actually keeping them.
From choosing rest instead of punishment.
From treating yourself like someone who deserves care—not just on the good days, but especially on the messy ones.

Resilience and confidence grew together for me.
Not overnight—but slowly.
As I started showing up for myself differently.
As I stopped trying to “fix” myself and started learning to know, trust, and like myself.

If you’re in a place where you feel lost, please hear this:
You’re not starting from scratch.
You’re starting from experience.
You’re not behind.
You’re becoming.

And you’re allowed to rebuild a version of yourself that feels grounded, clear, and real.
That’s confidence.
That’s resilience.
That’s healing.
1% each day. That’s all.

Used to think growth meant always being productive.
Always saying yes. Always being the bigger person.
Always proving that I could handle it—no matter how heavy it was.

But I’ve learned that growth is quieter than that.
It’s in the no’s that protect your peace.
The boundaries that feel hard but keep you whole.
The people you no longer chase.
The version of you that’s finally done shrinking to make others comfortable.

Growth is soft and slow and sometimes messy.
It looks like rest. Like pausing. Like planting roots instead of running.
It looks like choosing people who pour into you,
not those who leave you empty.

This season, I’m choosing less performing and more peace.
Less noise, more nourishment.
More people who feel like sunlight, not storms.

You don’t have to bloom for anyone else’s timeline.
You just have to keep growing.

And maybe get a few more plants, too. 😅🤪
