🔥 Buy the big sunglasses.
If you’re paying attention to yourself, you eventually get to a point where you can’t be quiet anymore.

🔥 How do you know it’s working?
Growth doesn’t wait for guarantees.
🔥 You don’t owe what you thought you did.
You didn’t agree to all these bullshit expectations. You just inherited them.
🔥 Stop solving for “us.” Start standing for you.
Language is powerful – and sometimes, language is where the leak starts.
🔥 Leaking isn’t love. Leading is.
Where does your joy start to feel dangerous?
🔥 Rest isn’t retreat. It’s strategy.

🔥 Your body isn’t broken. It’s learning to hold more.

🔥 You’re allowed to keep your energy.
At some point I started to wonder…where’s my grace?
