Its an honor and a privilege.
It can also feel like a huge responsibility.
Sometimes after a day meeting with my clients, I drive home feeling sonormal.

Not because I do not have my own problems (we all do).
Not because I do not have my own shit to work through and face (I definitely do).
Not because I have it all figured out (no one does).
DO THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARENT ALONE IN FEELING LIKE THIS?
These types of convos arent just appearing out of thin air in your conference room at work.
They arent happening in the checkout line at the grocery store.
Because we learned somewhere along the way that this is how we should act.
So here I am asking myself: Should I tell you more about this?
Should I let you in on a few of these secrets?
That it somehow feels like breaking an unwritten rule?
(Should I tell you how often I catch myself should-ing on myself?
Ive worked on this quite a bit, but it still happens more than I would like.
And thats ok. Its a process.)
…Do you see a glimpse of yourself in any of the statements above?
I know I do.
That we arent alone with our worries or our struggles with self-acceptance.
In fact, Id argue that a lot of the above comes with the human experience.
It comes with the territory.
when you know damn well youre not, I beg of you, yo take a second to pause.
We are all messy, imperfect, beautiful, ever-evolving, continuous works in progress.
(And deep down, a lot of us are more alike than we think).
None of us have this whole life thing figured out, and we arent supposed to.
What would it be like to let go of your expectations and give yourself some grace for a change?
Trust me, even on the hardest days: You are capable.
You will figure it out.
You are right on time.
No shoulds, no shouldnts, and no ifs, ands or buts about it.
