For a long time, I tried to fill a hole with achievement, love and validation.
I was a mum, a wife, a business owner, a coach, a student, the strong resilient one, and the person everyone could rely on. I was proud of those things, but somewhere along the way, I started believing they were the only thing that made me worthy.
So I kept doing more, giving more and looking outside myself for proof that I was enough.
Until I realised I had spent so much time being who I thought everyone else needed that I had never really taken the time to know me.
Not the mum, wife, coach, business owner or strong one.
Just me.
But finding myself wasn’t easy. I had to hit rock bottom and break down before I could truly rebuild. I had to let go of the identities, expectations and beliefs I had been holding onto for so long.
Slowly, I started coming home to myself not to become better or fix myself, but to accept that who I am, exactly as I am, is enough.
Now I can find happiness and contentment within myself. The achievements, relationships, opportunities, goals and beautiful things life brings are bonuses - not what defines or completes me.
I no longer need anyone else to convince me I’m enough.
That’s the peace I was looking for all along.
And if you’re feeling lost, disconnected or like you’re struggling to hold everything together, please know that you’re not alone. You don’t have to have it all figured out today, and you don’t have to become someone else to be worthy of love and belonging.
Start gently.
Give yourself permission to pause, to feel and to take one small step back towards yourself.
You are still in there and you are enough, even in the seasons when you can’t feel it yet ❤️
