I want to share something tender, raw, and real that’s unfolding in me right now.

I’ve built a space where almost 1600 people are showing up to learn and grow with me each day. It’s powerful. It’s beautiful. It’s alive.

And still…

Every week my moderator collects the most heartfelt testimonials—deep gratitude, life shifts, emotional breakthroughs—and every week… I avoid reading them.

Not because I don’t care.

But because 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡.

Yesterday, I finally read two.

Just two.

And I cried.

I cried because my body is still learning that I don’t need to overgive to be valuable.

That my presence—my voice, my essence—is enough.

That being 𝑠𝑒𝑒𝑛 this clearly isn’t a threat. It’s a gift.

And that I don’t have to earn love or impact by burning myself out.

I’m sharing this because maybe some part of you knows this edge too.

The part of you that deflects praise.

That hides your impact behind humility.

That keeps giving so you never have to feel the 𝑣𝑢𝑙𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 of being fully received.

So this is me, practicing a new truth:

𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑠𝑎𝑓𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐼’𝑣𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑎 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ 𝑓𝑜𝑟．

𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑠𝑎𝑓𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑑 𝑖𝑛 𝑚𝑦 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑡．

𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑠𝑎𝑓𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑛．

One breath at a time.

One truth at a time.

One testimonial at a time.

If you’ve ever struggled to let yourself be seen, I see you.

And I’ll go first.
