You won’t always feel strong.
You won’t always feel ready.
Some seasons force you to meet yourself in ways you never expected — not because you’re weak, but because life is asking more of you.
I’ve walked through things that would break most people.
And truthfully, some of the hardest parts weren’t the events themselves — it was the way the truth got twisted or minimized by people who weren’t there, didn’t ask, or didn’t want to see.
Pieces of my story are in public record. Not because I wanted them there, but because that’s the reality I had to navigate. And I learned fast:
You can’t control a narrative people are committed to misunderstanding.
So instead of fighting that battle, I chose a different one —
Looking inward instead of outward.
Regulating instead of reacting.
Growing instead of defending.
And here’s the shift that changed everything:
I’m not rebuilding my life — I’m building it.
Rebuilding implies going back.
I’m not going back.
I’m creating from clarity, truth, and self-awareness.
We evolve. We expand. We outgrow. That’s strength, not loss.
Strength isn’t built through validation — it’s built through self-responsibility.
Through the moments no one sees.
Through choosing integrity over impulse.
Through becoming the parent my kids won’t have to recover from.
This version of me isn’t born from victimhood — she’s born from truth.
From the refusal to let the hardest parts of my story define the future I’m creating.
And as I share more of my story in this season, it’s not to blame or linger on the past — it’s to support the ones ready to build forward, release what’s heavy, and stand present in the blessings all around them.
If you’re in that season too…
I see you. And you don’t have to walk it alone.
