Yesterday I was invited to speak at my local Her Zest networking event.
I stood in a room full of women and stretched a resistance band between us. Not just a cute demo but as a truth-telling moment.
Because that's exactly what your elastic limit does. It stretches with every demand, every expectation, every version of yourself you perform for others. And it gives...until it doesn't, snapping you back.
We talked about the beliefs living underneath the exhaustion, the constant striving, the 'be more disciplined' and work harder pep talks. The language we use that keeps us locked in patterns we didn't consciously choose.
The moment you learn to ask "Is that actually true?"... and mean it, how outcomes can shift when you're presented with choice.
Thank you to the incredible team at HerZest for the invitation and for creating a space where women get to think, feel, and question out loud. And to every woman in that room, you showed up fully, thank you š©·
If you've ever felt your own elastic stretch to its limit and snap you back. Send me a DM and let's talk.
