Grateful to be trusted.
Also very interested in a quieter calling this season.

Not because I’m unwilling—
but because I’m finally clear that discernment is part of devotion.

Everything heavy isn’t mine to hold.

Where are you being invited to lead without burning yourself out?

It’s easy to dismiss clarity as mood, age, or hormones—especially when boundaries begin to change.
But what’s often happening is something far more regulated and intentional.

When the nervous system stabilizes, we stop over-investing in potential and start responding to patterns.
That’s not withdrawal. That’s discernment.

This shift doesn’t come from anger it comes from integration.
From learning that consistency matters more than promises, and safety matters more than hope alone.

If this season feels quieter, firmer, or less accommodating, it may not be emotional dysregulation at all.
It may be growth.

Growth doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like restraint.

This year tried me.
Stretched me.
Nearly took me out.

it came for my energy, my peace, and my certainty.
What it didn’t take was my vision.

I’m closing this chapter grateful—not because it was gentle,

But I’m still here—clearer, steadier, and more honest than ever.
I’m not ending the year in survival mode.
I’m ending it in preparation.

Some years don’t crown you.
They condition you.”**

Here’s to what’s next ✨

Me vs. my workload when my focus wears off.

This isn’t a discipline issue.
It’s not a grit problem.
And it’s not because you “want it less.”

It’s an energy math problem.

ADHD. Burnout. Hormones. Chronic stress. Sleep debt.
Different inputs. Same outcome: the system hits its limit.

You wouldn’t redline an engine and call it toughness.
You wouldn’t expect peak performance on an empty tank.
Yet somehow we tell ourselves the brain should be different.

You’re not broken for needing to pause.
You’re strategic for recognizing the moment.

Anyone else feel this hit towards the end of the day?

3 Things No One Told Me About ADHD & Menopause

No one prepared me for how ADHD and menopause would collide.
Not socially. Not emotionally. Not neurologically.
If you’re in this season, this is for you. ↓

1️⃣ Your brain isn’t “losing it”—it’s recalibrating.
Estrogen shifts impact dopamine, which impacts focus, motivation, and emotional regulation.
This isn’t you being inconsistent. This is your neurobiology changing.

2️⃣ Emotional reactivity hits different—and it’s NOT a personality flaw.
Tears, irritability, overwhelm… it’s not because you’re weak.
Hormonal changes narrow your window of tolerance, and ADHD already makes regulation harder.
What you’re experiencing is physiology, not failure.

3️⃣ The tools that used to work… may stop working.
Planners, routines, color-coding, coping strategies—your old systems may not fit your new brain.
That doesn’t mean nothing works. It means you need evolved, season-appropriate strategies.

Here’s the truth:
You’re not broken. You’re not becoming “less capable.”
Your brain is shifting and asking for updated care, not criticism.

If this resonates, save it. Share it.
And remember—you deserve support that understands both ADHD and menopause, not surface-level advice or shame.

✨ More on this coming soon. Let me know what part you want me to break down next.

You don’t have to be happy on Thanksgiving.
You don’t have to perform joy, hide your heaviness, or pretend the day feels easier than it is.

For some, today brings connection.
For others, it brings grief, pressure, loneliness, complicated family dynamics, or the weight of trying to “hold it together.”

If that’s you—there’s nothing wrong with you. Your nervous system is responding to a real experience, not a holiday expectation.

Here are a few gentle anchors to help you move through the day:

• Choose regulation over performance.
If you need to step away, breathe, or take a 5-minute reset—honor it. Emotional safety always comes before social expectations.

• Keep one small boundary.
Decide now what you will or won’t participate in (conversations, food pressure, emotional labor). One boundary can protect your whole day.

• Feed yourself with intention.
Not just food—rest, silence, hydration, pacing. Your body isn’t a machine, and it doesn’t have to “push through.”

• Let today be honest, not perfect.
You’re allowed to show up exactly as you are.

Wishing you strength, steadiness, and the courage to take care of you today. 🖤
