We all have problems. Relationship. Family. School. Work. Kids. Health. In-laws. Money.

This viral perspective has a powerful way of grounding us when life feels overwhelming. It instantly shifts our focus from what we lack or what is stressing us out, to realizing that the struggles we know and understand are often better than the unknown battles of others. 

Here are a few ways to channel this mindset shift when you’re having a heavy day:

Normalize the unseen: Remind yourself that every person you pass is dealing with hidden battles, grief, or exhaustion. Your struggles don’t mean you are failing; they mean you are human.

Practice active gratitude: Instead of focusing on perfection, try keeping a quick mental tally of 2 or 3 things going right. It helps quiet the noise of day-to-day stress.

Embrace your own journey: Your battles have shaped the uniquely strong, resilient version of you that exists today

Asking yourself if you are doing something for yourself or performing for others is one of the most powerful questions you can use to disrupt people-pleasing and reclaim your authenticity. It shifts your focus from external validation back to your core values and personal well-being 💗

Healing is profoundly difficult because it involves managing a constant internal conflict between three parts of yourself: a scared inner child needing safety, an angry inner teenager demanding justice, and a tired adult self seeking peace. Reconciling these competing needs requires immense patience and self-compassion to integrate past wounds. 💗🥹

Our nervous system learns through repetition. If it’s only ever known fear, loss, or instability, it keeps expecting those things. But when we start to have safe, gentle, and nurturing experiences, our body begins to realize: “This is different. I’m safe now.” 🥹💗

One of the reasons why I disagree that people need “to heal themselves” before being in relationship with other people. Healing happens when we experience safety where danger was once.

Mouth wash is better than nothing.
Putting deodorant on when you haven’t showered is okay.
Washing only one cup for your coffee because all the rest are dirty is a success.

Self care doesn’t have to be extravagant.

Someone’s inconsistent is a reflection of their own capacity, limitations, or readiness, NOT a reflection of your value.

It is not a challenge to prove your worth, work harder, or filter yourself to be chosen.

Instead of seeking validation through someone’s mixed signals, recognize it as a sign to set boundaries, take a step back, and prioritize your own self respect.

Your worth is inner-defined. Self worth resides within you, not in external validation or someone else’s fickle actions



If you’re struggling with someone’s inconsistency and finding it’s affecting your self worth or self esteem - let’s talk 🤍

With heartbreak, we may think that we’ll never find love again. You will. We may think we will never be that happy again. You will. We may think you’ll never experience fun again. You will.

You were a whole person before you knew them & and you’ll be a whole person after them.

Ever been with someone who when you ask for the bare minimum: communication, reassurance, or even quality time and you’ve been told, “You’re too much” ? You were probably with someone who was emotionally unavailable

Being with someone who is emotionally unavailable can lead you to doubt yourself, anxiety, loneliness & a decrease in self-esteem.

Often the emotionally available person starts to filter themselves or shrink to fit the limitations that are set up by someone who is not available emotionally, losing themselves more and more in the process.

If you’re constantly changing yourself for someone else, how can someone love you for you? You’re not you. You’re the you, you think they want. 🤯🧠💭

Changing yourself for someone else often leads to resentment, lost identify and deep unhappiness. It is a form of people pleasing that rarely results in long term happiness.
