WTFourty
I didn’t glide into 40—I crashed into it.And the first thing I whispered to myself was exactly that:WTFourty… what is this? This wasn’t the version of 40 I imagined.I thought it would feel lighter… softer… more aligned.I thought I’d finally feel like a woman who understood her body, her needs, her boundaries, her peace. Instead, I walked into 40 and met a version of myself I didn’t recognize. My body felt foreign.My emotions lived at the surface.My anger was louder.My anxiety had its own pulse.My health shifted in ways that scared me.My routines—my work, my businesses, the parts of my life I used to manage with ease—felt heavy, unorganized, and…

The Power of Self-Worth in Healing: You Deserve Your Own Love
For so long, I didn’t understand the connection between self-worth and healing. I spent years trying to heal, but I was missing a crucial piece of the puzzle—believing I was worthy of that healing in the first place. I thought healing was something I had to earn or prove I deserved. But here’s the truth I wish I knew earlier: Healing starts when you recognize your own worth. The Link Between Self-Worth and Healing If we don’t believe we’re worthy of love, compassion, and healing, how can we truly start the journey? Our self-worth is the foundation for all the growth and healing that follows. The moment I began to…
