In this deeply personal episode, I share my heart with you after an emotional releaseāa moment of raw vulnerability, self-forgiveness, and acceptance. Life can feel heavy, chaotic, and even overwhelming at times, but in those moments, hope and faith become our guiding lights. I talk about the power of letting go, embracing imperfection, and allowing ourselves to feel without shame.
We explore:
š The importance of crying and emotional release as a form of healing
š Letting go of guilt, shame, and self-judgment in parenting and life
š Understanding that difficult moments arenāt just happening to us but also for us
š The difference between hope and faithāand how they help us move forward
š Embodying the future version of yourself today, despite setbacks and delays
š Overcoming fear, self-imposed expectations, and the pressure to always be āonā
š The unconditional love and grace of God in the midst of struggle
Key Takeaways:
š Crying is healing. Itās not weaknessāitās a release of the energy we hold inside.
š You are not alone. Whatever youāre feelingāguilt, fear, overwhelmāis valid and part of being human.
š Itās okay to rest. You donāt have to keep pushing through. Taking a step back doesnāt mean youāre failing.
š Hope is the tiny glimmer in the dark. Even when life feels impossible, that small speck of light means thereās still a way forward.
š Faith is what makes the light grow. Trusting in something greater than ourselves helps us move through difficult times.
š Your past does not define you. Who you choose to be right now is what shapes your future.
š God loves you as you are. No conditions, no expectationsājust pure, unwavering love.
Suggested Next Steps for You:
⨠Give yourself permission to feel. If youāve been holding in emotions, find a safe space to release them.
⨠Take one small step. If life feels overwhelming, focus on just the next tiny move instead of the entire mountain.
⨠Remember that you are worthy. Not because of what you accomplish, but simply because you exist.
⨠Find hope in your own way. Look for the small, bright momentsāno matter how faint they seem.
