If you feel behind everyone, this is what happens. Here's what to do instead

It's normal to feel disappointed in yourself. You have to understand that.

Last night, I did something I’ve never done before.

I created my first Winter Solstice ritual—a burn-and-release ceremony—followed this morning by a candle-lighting intention ritual.

I didn’t do it for tradition.
I didn’t do it because it sounded mystical or poetic.

I did it because this year brought me to my knees.
Every survival pattern I thought I’d left behind came roaring back.
I poured myself into the work, and life kept handing me a big, unapologetic NO.

Those no's became my teachers.
They showed me—loudly—that the old way wasn’t just unsustainable…it was no longer an option.

So last night, I burned the beliefs that no longer serve me:
1. Hustling as a measure of worth
2. Proving myself to earn belonging
3. Chasing rooms and relationships without resonance
4. Tying my value to metrics or outcomes
5. Buying into the fear that slowing down or changing direction means failure

Watching those truths turn to ash was emotional—not because they were “bad,” but because they were familiar.

They protected me once.
They don’t anymore.

And today, with a candle and a quiet mind, I welcomed in:
1. Discernment over desperation
2. Doing less, with alignment and intention
3. Self-trust (and trust in timing) over external validation
4. Working from grounded capacity rather than fear
5. Belonging built through resonance, not performance
6. Rest as fuel, play as medicine, joy as strategy

This isn’t about becoming a “new me.”
It is about returning to the version of myself who refuses to abandon her truth to be chosen.

If you’re reading this, and you’ve spent this year pushing, proving, or running on empty— consider this your invitation:

You don’t have to earn your worth.
You don’t have to sprint your way to belonging.
And slowing down is not the same as giving up.

Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is to put something down
—and choose differently.

Here’s to longer days, deeper discernment, and work that aligns with who we are becoming.

The Denver Mic Drop Club met on Monday, and the energy in that room was unmistakably powerful.

It was a smaller group this time, but nothing about the experience felt small.
Every woman arrived carrying something real… and then chose to give it voice.

There were shaky moments, courageous moments, and those powerful in-between moments where someone discovers a truth as she’s speaking it.

That’s the magic of this community: when one woman steps forward, everyone else rises with her.

This is why Mic Drop Club exists — because courage grows in community, confidence blossoms with practice, and something inside of us expands when we're supported rather than silenced.

Grateful for this group, my cohost Cheryl Braunschweiger, and the way they continue to turn courage into momentum.

11/25/2025

Are you moving through live without consciousness? Don't.

Don't try to control what isn't in your control.
