This year didn’t just invite me to grow, it shoved me into situations that made me practice what I’d been preaching. Not wishful thinking, not hypothetically, not 'some day', right now.
I had to speak up when it would’ve been easier to stay quiet. I had to say things and set boundaries that deeply disappointed people. I had to walk away from hurtful dynamics that no longer fit who I was.
And the version of me who shrank, people-pleased, and stayed small just to be accepted? She’s gone. With love. For good.
And I know it might ruffle feathers, but I’m not living for other people’s comfort anymore whilst derailing my own. There's certain things you can't unsee once you've seen them, so there's no going back now, I'm leading from what’s true.
I've realised that in order to really heal my abandonment wounds I have to refuse to abandon myself ever again and fully stick to it.
With agency, sovereignty and authenticity at the wheel, final! Here we go...
