What if you stopped making yourself earn the right to rest, enjoy your life, and take care of yourself?

In this episode of Unbound And Becoming, I’m talking about what it means to truly pour into yourself—not just when you’re exhausted or when everything else is taken care of, but as a regular part of your life.

We’ll talk about giving yourself permission to rest before you reach your breaking point, enjoying the life you have right now instead of always waiting for “someday,” and recognizing the difference between caring for yourself and simply recovering from constantly running yourself down.

Sometimes taking care of yourself also means being honest about what you actually have the capacity for instead of constantly judging yourself for what you can’t do.

You don’t have to earn care. You’re allowed to give some of it back to yourself, too.

Question of the day:
What is one small thing you can give yourself this week without having to earn it first?

Sometimes we get so caught up in surviving, being realistic, and doing what we're supposed to do that we forget to ask ourselves what we actually want.

In this note to myself, I'm reminding myself to dream again — without shrinking the dream, questioning whether it's realistic, or needing to know exactly how I'm going to get there.

I created these notes as a space to slow down and give myself the words I need to hear while I'm becoming. But I'm sharing them because maybe you're becoming, too. Maybe there's something you've been afraid to want, imagine, or believe is possible for your life.

You don't have to have the whole plan.

You just have to give yourself permission to dream.

And maybe, somewhere along the way, you'll realize the dream isn't as far away as you thought.

We’ve reached ten episodes! In this special Q&A, I’m answering questions about my life, my healing journey, leaving the cult, my relationship with Christianity, discovering my voice, taking solo trips, and what I’m looking forward to in this next chapter. Come get to know me beyond the episodes and hear more about the person behind Unbound & Becoming.
