Three years ago, I tore my ACL playing indoor soccer (on less than ideal turf 😑).

I don’t know if I’d call it bad luck, but I’m sure not going to tell you that everything happens for a reason. Instead, I say “we can use everything that happens.”

Sometimes life just deals you a s**t card. Plans change. Relationships change. Careers change. Things we thought were certain, aren’t.

ACL recovery taught me that I couldn’t rush what came next. Lord knows I tried, but I had to wait. I had to heal. I had to rebuild strength little by little and trust that eventually, I would be able to do the things I loved again. And thankfully I can. Not always without pain though.

Not exactly the way I did before and I think that’s the lesson I’m learning 3 years later.

Healing isn’t necessarily getting back to who you were before something happened. I think it’s about becoming someone new because of it.

Nothing sits still, I like to say.
Keep going. 💫

Are you waiting for proof of a new hello before you’re willing to say goodbye?

The hardest part of saying goodbye is letting go.

Imagine swinging out over the water on a rope swing. You swing all the way out, but you’re too afraid to release your grip.

So you hold on.

And you never experience the joy of jumping into the water.

Assuming it’s safe to jump (and in this analogy, it is 😉), you can’t know what it will feel like until you let go of the rope.

There is no guarantee about what happens next. Sometimes there is only that quiet knowing inside you saying, go for it.

What is calling you to say goodbye and let go?

Imagine what might be waiting for you when you do. 💫

Don't forget to subscribe. New posts every Monday at 12pm EST.

Have you heard of women "quietly quitting marriage?" I recently came across an episode on The Oprah Podcast about women quietly quitting their marriages, and I wonder if you can relate.

If you are feeling safe, secure, respected and satisfied in your relationship, keep doing what you’re doing 💫

But, if you’ve spent months, years or even decades slowly withering away in your romantic relationship … wondering:

Is this normal? 🧐
Am I asking for too much? 🧐
Am I the problem? 🧐
Why can’t I just decide if I should stay or go? 🧐

Why does every therapist hate progress notes so much!?! 😂
