For a long time, I used to hold myself back.

I’d write something honest, then second-guess it.

“Will I annoy people if I post too much?”

“Will my truth trigger someone?”

“Will my shine make me vulnerable to being hurt?”That voice kept me small for years.When I started my business, I thought success meant being polished.. having the perfect words, the perfect plan, the perfect version of me for everyone to see. But the more I tried to be perfect, the further I drifted from myself.It wasn’t until I hit a breaking point that I realized something simple but life-changing: authenticity is the doorway to freedom. Every time I told the truth about what I was walking through; the fear, growth, beauty, and the mess – I felt my inspiration return to me. And that’s when everything began to shift.Because the truth is, your medicine can’t reach the people who need it if you’re hiding behind perfection.I learned to share for the one woman out there who might see herself in my story. To speak for the version of me who used to be afraid. To trust that being too much for some people is exactly what makes me just right for the ones who are meant to find me.So if you’ve been dimming your light or shrinking your voice, this is your reminder: it’s safe to be seen. Your truth won’t push the right people away – it will help them find you.I’m having fun sending you inspirations from the heart, and this is only the beginning… All my love,
