Saturday confession... 🫣
|
Happy Saturday y'all. And before I get into the usual weekend energy... I just want to be real with you today. Because that is kind of the whole point of this. Things have felt a little chaotic lately. Not the highlight reel version. The actual behind the scenes. The stuff I could easily leave out and just post the wins instead. I am still figuring out this whole entrepreneur path. Still learning how to step into that version of me. And if I am honest... there is a part of me that still slips back into survival mode. Scarcity, doubt, old patterns trying to run the show again. And lately? It has been loud as hell. There have been days where I have not shown up how I want to. Fell off my routines, not as consistent, in my head more than I would like to admit. And I could sit here and pretend I have it all locked in... But that would be a lie. So here is the one thing I want you to take from this: Growth does not remove the old version of you. It just gives you a new one to choose. And when life stacks up, the old one gets louder. Not because you are failing but because you are outgrowing it. Your nervous system is fighting to stay where it is comfortable and familiar, and that fight gets louder the further you grow from it. That is the season I am in right now. Choosing again and again not to go back. Even when it feels easier. Even when the old version is screaming that this is too hard and who do I think I am and maybe I should just settle back into what I know. I am not going back. So if you are spending your Saturday feeling stuck... like you are slipping back into old habits, like you are not showing up how you think you should be, like you took ten steps forward and now feel like you are sliding back... You are not broken. You are not failing. You are in the middle of a shift. Just do not quit on yourself in it. PROUD OF YOU 💙 Walking with you, Leasha Here's a way I can walk with you… 1:1 Support: The support that gets the person who is constantly scanning, second-guessing, overexplaining, and mentally preparing for what could go wrong next. For the person whose nervous system never fully stands down and who is ready to stop living like they have to stay on guard all the time. Reply "SUPPORT" and let's talk |

Let me give you a different way to look at this week. You are sitting there thinking "I fell off" or "I should have done more" or "I am back in the same place again." But what if that is not actually true? What if you are not going backwards... it just feels like you are? Here is something I discovered on this journey that changed the way I see everything. Most of us were taught to think about growth as a straight line. You start at the bottom, you work hard, you move up. Progress is linear...
Quick question for you today… When you say, “I am just tired,” do you actually mean tired? Or do you mean… “I am emotionally fried.” “I do not want to explain myself.” “I have been pretending I am fine all week.” “I feel like I am one minor inconvenience away from losing my shit.” “I have no clue who I am right now, but I have to keep functioning anyway.” Because I used to call it tired too. But it was not always tired. Sometimes it was survival mode wearing a hoodie and calling itself...
I want to show you something real today. Not theory. Not advice. Proof. She spent years showing up like everything was fine. Playing the role everyone expected. Pushing down what she actually felt. Not because she was fake. Because that is how she learned to survive. She was masking. Performing. Living as a version of herself that was built entirely around survival mode. And underneath all of it she was exhausted, lost, and waking up every single day hating the person staring back at her in...
