The Power of living for yourself

Though it’s been a minute since our last connection, you’ve been in my heart. 💌

Over the past few months, life has nudged—okay, shoved—me into a season of living for myself. At first, I resisted. For so long, my life was centered around showing up for others, being the helper, the healer, and the reliable one. And while that path is meaningful and worthy, here’s the truth:
When giving becomes your default setting, things can get really unbalanced.
What I’ve come to realize is this…
💥 Living for yourself is a deeply spiritual act. 💥
You weren’t born to be everyone’s emotional support human, dream-chaser-for-hire, or people-pleasing version of yourself.
You were born to live your Divinely Desired life—bold, expansive and authentic.
Let’s be honest—we’ve all been there:
😔 Saying “yes” when every fiber of your being screams “NO.”
😔 Chasing goals, friendships, or relationships that leave your spirit dry.
😔 Smiling through situations that slowly drain your light.
Sound familiar?
💡Here’s the shift:
Living for yourself doesn’t mean cutting everyone off or disappearing into the forest (unless that’s your vibe).It means getting crystal clear on what matters to you, and actually honoring it—even if it ruffles a few feathers.
When you start living for you, here's what happens:
✨ You stop over-explaining your choices like you're on trial.
✨ You start doing things that actually light you up.
✨ You care way less about what others think.
✨ Your creativity and confidence expand.
✨ Your intuition gets louder. Your power is more accessible.
✨ You feel more peaceful, rooted in yourself.
✨ You stop over-giving of your time, energy and resources.
✨ And you realize—not everyone needs to “get it.” They’re not on your soul’s timeline.
Will it feel uncomfortable? Yep. For you and for some folks around you.
But what’s on the other side?
A more empowered, aligned, joyful, and magnetic version of you—the one who naturally uplifts others simply by living in truth.
So consider this your permission slip, handwritten by the Universe (and lovingly passed along by me), to live for yourself! Unapologetically, boldly, and beautifully.
Let this sacred shift surprise and delight you beyond your wildest dreams.
Because honestly? It’s about time.
And oh, how delicious life becomes when you finally choose you!
