When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Not your face, your hair or your body. YOU. What do you actually say to yourself in that moment? Because if you are anything like I was, it is not kind. It is critical, harsh, distant like you are looking at a stranger you do not even like. I used to avoid mirrors completely. Or I would look and immediately look away because I did not want to feel that. But I started doing something different. Every morning I look at myself and I give myself a high five. Yeah. In the mirror. And I say it out loud: "I love you. I am proud of you." And if there is something I need to hear that day, I say that too. At first it felt weird and fake like I did not believe a single word of it but I kept doing it anyway. And something started to change... the way I saw myself, the way I spoke to myself, the way I showed up. Because you cannot hate yourself into a better life. But you can start building one the moment you get on your own side. So here is your challenge today: Go look in the mirror. Do not rush it. Do not avoid it. Just look at yourself, give yourself a high five, and say it out loud... "I love you. I am proud of you." Even if you do not fully believe it yet. Especially then. And just notice what happens. Reply and tell me what you feel in your body and where you feel it. PROUD OF YOU 💙 Walking with you, Leasha P.S. My CMS Daily Check-In CORE: 1 CLARITY: 1 CONNECTION: 1 CREATION: 1 Total: 4 / 4 |

It's 7-something on a Sunday night. I know where your head is right now. Because I've been there, staring at the ceiling or the screen, watching Sunday slip into Monday, feeling that tightness in the chest that has nothing to do with what's actually happening and everything to do with what's coming. The to-do list is already writing itself in your head. The week hasn't started and you're already tired. And somewhere in that spiral, a sentence starts looping: "I'll try to make this week...
I did something recently that scared the hell out of me. I deleted over 300 people from this email list. Not by accident. A deliberate, eyes-open, deep-breath-first decision. I went from 706+ subscribers to around 402. In minutes. And the second I did it, I felt something I haven't felt in a while. I exhaled. Like, actually exhaled. The kind of breath that comes from somewhere below your chest when you finally stop holding on to something that wasn't working. Here's the thing I want you to...
Nobody warns you about this part of healing... You start doing the work of healing. You start coming back to yourself and you expect the people around you to celebrate that. Sometimes they do not. Sometimes they pull away. Sometimes you pull away. Sometimes a friendship you thought would last forever just ends. And you are left standing there wondering what you did wrong. You did not do anything wrong. Growth costs you people. Not because you became someone unrecognizable. But because the...
