I was Juliet from Baz Luhrman’s Romeo + Juliet for Halloween. I already had an accordion folder with my options for high school. On enrollment day, one of the nuns at my future high school was so impressed by my folder and told me “you’re going to go very far.” I was so proud that she recognized this.

Why am I telling you this?

Because I know exactly what your kid is going through right now. I don’t want your child to sleep only 4 hours a night because their mind & body don’t know how to relax. I don’t want them to equate their value to how many AP classes they are taking. I don’t want them to put immense pressure on themselves.

If this post reminded you of your child, dm me to learn more about how I can support them.

These thoughts are so common amongst my clients. They have been so focused on their own success that when something doesn’t go their way it can be so hard to cope with it.

You can learn how to cope with setbacks and feel okay- not like a failure. It’s a skill, just like riding a bike. You just need practice.

Today, I’m sending love to that girl, who was so vibrant and excited for the future, who didn’t know she was anxious, who felt she needed to be among the best to feel satisfied. I’m thanking her for persisting, for her resilience, and for taking chances. I’m so proud of her and know she would be proud of me today ❤️

I didn’t know I was anxious for a loooooong time.

I thought I was just:
•Type A
•An overachiever
•A perfectionist
•Someone with high standards
•A parentified child

And I was missing the mark.

When I started to slow down and get really intentional about what I truly wanted, not just what fed my ego or the curated version of myself I wanted to present to the world, the anxiety started to creep in slowly. The rumination started. The fear of making the wrong decision (and the consequences that could potentially follow) prevented me from committing to anything, even just a coffee order. I shut down. I burned out.

But from that low came incredible growth. I started to actually trust myself and take care of myself truly for the first time.

These are some of the things I do which help me stay present and prevent the spiral from taking over. Which one would you try?
