Who Are You Not to Be Her? ✨
Some days I wake up and feel completely unstoppable. The kind of day where I feel like I’m tapped into something bigger—like the dream is unfolding in real time. The vision feels clear. The steps feel doable. I’m in alignment. I’m her. 💫
And then… there are the other days.
The ones where I question everything. Who am I? What am I doing? What even is this life I’m building? One moment I’m floating in clarity, the next I’m spiraling in confusion.
Is it imposter syndrome? Maybe. But I don’t think it’s that simple.
Because I know I’m capable. I know I’ve put in the work. I know the stories I carry and the fire I have in me to share them. So no, it’s not that I’m faking it. I think it’s more like... my mind trying to convince me I’m not enough—even though deep down, I know I am.
That tug-of-war got me thinking.
I Wasn’t Made to Fit in a Box 📦
I’ve never been drawn to doing just one thing. I’m not the “niche down” type. I’ve always been curious. A dream-chaser. A multi-hyphenate in the making. I like to try. I like to play. I move when the flow nudges me in a new direction.
But somewhere along the way, I absorbed other people’s versions of “success.” I listened when people told me to pick one thing and stick to it. To get a “good” job. Be grateful. Stay safe. Make money. Stay the course.
And so I did.
Until one day I realized I was living a life I didn’t actually choose for myself.
The Path I Was Told to Walk 🚧
I remember one conversation vividly. I was getting ready to choose my college major. I told my dad I wanted to study bio-chemistry and eventually go to medical school. He told me not to. Said med school was hard to get into. That bio-chem wouldn’t lead anywhere if I didn’t make it.
And I didn’t question it.
He hadn’t even gone to college—but still, I took his words as truth. Not realizing until years later that his advice came from his own fears, not mine. That single conversation rerouted me from a path I may have loved. And instead of fighting for what I wanted, I just assumed I wasn’t good enough. That I couldn’t do it.
And that? That mindset stuck. Until now.
This Isn’t the Real Me — But She’s Coming 👑
The more I grow, the more I understand: life is about unlearning the version of me that wasn’t truly me. The one shaped by projections, expectations, fear, and safety nets. I’ve been walking around carrying beliefs and habits that were never really mine.
Letting go of that version of myself feels scary, even though it’s freeing.
Because authenticity doesn’t always feel familiar at first. But it does feel like relief.
What If You Just Chose Right Now? 🎯
Here’s a thought: what if you just decided—today—who you wanted to be… and then showed up as her?
What if you walked into your job, your home, your day… with the energy of your future self?
You know the one. She moves with intention. She speaks with purpose. She knows what matters and what’s noise. She protects her peace. She’s not afraid to pivot. And yeah—maybe not everyone understands her. Maybe some people fall away. But she keeps going anyway.
Because she’s committed to being who she really is. And that requires letting go of who she never was to begin with.
Get Ready to Show Up 💥
So… how do you get there?
Start small:
What does she wear?
How does she speak?
What does her day look like?
What does she say yes to? What does she release?
And then do those things. Over and over. Until they become your new normal.
You’re not starting over. You’re coming home to yourself.
Final Thought: You’re Doing the World a Disservice When You Hide 🫶
By not showing up as your most aligned, true self—you’re withholding your magic. You’re robbing the world of your light.
And no, staying in the comfort zone doesn’t mean you’re safe. It just means you’re familiar. Don’t confuse comfort with alignment. Because hiding isn’t comfortable—it’s just what you’ve always known.
Make the decision. Be her. Over and over. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially when it is.
Because if not now… when?
And if not you… who?
