For a long time I thought independence was my superpower. And it was. Until it became a wall.
If you have ever been the strong one — the one who figures it out, carries it all and never asks for help — this episode is going to crack something open in you. Because I am pulling back the curtain on the moment I realized I had been holding on so tightly to protect myself that there was no room for love or support to actually land.
I am talking about the walls. Yes, the very ones my husband quite lovingly pointed out that I may or may not have fully acknowledged at the time. 😄 And I am sharing what it actually took for me to open my hands — because Friend, opening your hands when you have been gripping this tightly is a whole journey.
If you have been wondering why the love and support you say you want keeps feeling just out of reach — let's at least crack the door open for someone to take care of you.
IN THIS EPISODE WE’RE GETTING INTO:✦ The blueprint so many of us inherited — and how it built the armor we are still wearing today
✦ The difference between protecting yourself and protecting yourself from being loved
✦ Where you might be blocking what you want — in your thoughts, your self talk, your behavior or your walls
✦ What actually happened when I started opening my hands — and why I became more, not less
✦ Why the soft girl era was not born from weakness — it was born from safety

THE LET SOMEONE IN 2 STEPStep 1 — Find the clenched fist. Where specifically are you blocking love, support or connection right now? Name it. You cannot open what you have not identified.
Step 2 — Open one finger. One small act of receiving this week. Ask for help with one thing. Accept support when it is offered. Let someone do something for you without feeling guilty. One finger leads to another — and open hands receive everything.
The Remix — You cannot receive what you are holding onto too tightly to protect yourself from. Loosen the grip Friend. Not because you are not strong enough to keep holding on. But because you are strong enough to finally let go.
The YOU Step — Get still. Get quiet. Ask yourself — what is my heart telling me to do next? Whatever comes up — that is your next right aligned step. Not the whole plan. Just the next move. Trust her Friend. She already knows.
