You’re allowed to take up space at the Thanksgiving table…just as you are.
The holidays can bring up a lot when you’re an amputee woman.
People staring a little too long.
Family asking questions you weren’t prepared to answer.
That quiet pressure to smile and “be fine” even when you’re carrying more than anyone realizes.
But hear me, beauty:
💛 You don’t have to shrink to make anyone else comfortable.
💛 You don’t owe anybody a perfect attitude, a brave face, or an explanation.
💛 You belong in every room you walk into — including this one.
Your presence is enough.
Your story is enough.
You are enough.
So as Thanksgiving is tomorrow, give yourself permission to show up as the woman you are today — strong, soft, healing, growing, becoming.
You don’t have to perform strength.
Just be you. And that is more than worthy of space.
If this speaks to you today…
Send me a DM with the word THRIVE and I’ll send you something that will support you this week. 💛
