Powerful social media posts typically contain/blen

Powerful social media posts typically contain/blend three distinct elements: ⁣
⁣
→ They are unique, which means although they may follow trends, use popular sounds, or contain repurposed elements, they are not carbon copies of other posts/pages. ⁣
⁣
→ They are branded, meaning they are connected to the overall business/individual's message, vision, and 'why.' There is a distinct style, voice, or 'vibe' that stays consistent.⁣
⁣
→ They're relatable in the sense that others can understand without being told how/what to feel; however, they aren't fake. Each post and message is authentic and real.⁣

I love watching my son grow up and grow into a lit

I love watching my son grow up and grow into a little man. Being a non-biological mama has been such an interesting journey of letting go and leaning into things that are so vastly different in terms of how I would want to raise my child, what my values are, and how I can be a partner in a parenting role that, in many ways, I'm still learning.⁣
⁣
It's been a wonderful journey of learning my own voice, boundaries, needs, and desires, and weighing those in equal importance with what others want, too.⁣
⁣
But most of all, I've learned to lean into, depend on, and celebrate the male role models in my son's life — and in mine, too. ⁣
⁣
Thankful for my man who is both an incredible father and human, and the company he keeps that encourages, pushes, grounds, and supports our little family as we grow.⁣
⁣
Having other people to lean on has made me realize that you don't have to give up any part of your heart for another. Being a mom, a businesswoman, a coach, a teacher — it IS possible to be all of these parts of me — if and when I lean on others along the way.⁣

I love talking about what it means to be 'enough'

I love talking about what it means to be 'enough' because it's this fascinating, intangible idea that we so often obsess over. ⁣
⁣
We want to be 'enough' —⁣
For who exactly?⁣
And what does 'enough' even mean?⁣
⁣
What I've learned is that this desire to be 'enough' stems from the (often self-imposed) pressure that we put on ourselves to achieve, and grow, and progress, and be more than we were yesterday. And while this is a positive thing (sometimes) it can also be negative, too, especially when we become so obsessed with growth that we forget to acknowledge and celebrate where we are + how far we've come.⁣
⁣
So, if you're dealing with fear of not being 'enough,' or if you're wrestling with what this 'enough-ness' really means, here are some thoughts from a podcast episode I recorded a bit ago. [You can listen here → bit.ly/MDBeingEnough 💗]

I am learning to love myself, over and over again,

I am learning to love myself, over and over again, and in every season. This process is gradual and ongoing, and honestly, I don't think there's an 'end' or a point I'll reach where I fully, completely accept who I am.⁣
⁣
And that's okay.⁣
⁣
Because, to me, it's not about getting to this 'perfect' place. In my eyes, it's honestly about the journey. It's about learning to enjoy who I am, what I think, how I look, in all these different forms of myself and in all these ever-changing seasons.⁣
⁣
I am not the twenty-year-old me, hyper-focused on her appearance. I am not the collegiate athlete me, forever trying to be stronger, faster, and more resilient. I am not the single woman me, focusing solely on what she wanted. Or even the first-year mama, just trying to get it all right. ⁣
⁣
I'm changing, and so is my self-love journey — it's a process.⁣
⁣
I was talking with someone I love deeply about this very thing the other day — about the struggle of self-love and trying to honor ourselves in a world that teaches us that we shouldn't, that we can't. ⁣
⁣
It's not easy, but I do think it's possible — if we abandon the idea that it should look, feel, or be a certain way. ⁣
⁣
We may not 'solve' our self-doubts or 'fix' our insecurities, but there IS a shift that happens. There IS smiling in the mirror and saying, 'This is me, and I like her." ⁣
⁣
There IS healing, and joy, and freedom. ❤️⁣

I love the idea of two 'wholes' coming together.⁣
The idea that none of us are incomplete,⁣
that we don't 'need' someone to make us full⁣
because we're already full on our own.⁣
⁣
That's how I've always seen love —⁣
not that we're searching,⁣
desperate to find our 'other half,'⁣
but that we're whole⁣
looking for the piece⁣
that compliments us.⁣
⁣
& that's what I see⁣
every time I look at this tattoo.⁣
I am not incomplete,⁣
but a piece of me⁣
lives on someone else's skin.⁣
⁣
It's a beautiful reminder ⁣
that we are parts ⁣
of a story larger than just ourselves.⁣
That we are intertwined⁣
by truth, and pain, and growth,⁣
and rebirth, and love.⁣
⁣
That we are our own,⁣
but someone else's, too.⁣

I think I struggle the most with being my own bigg

I think I struggle the most with being my own biggest critic. I'm hard on myself. I hold myself to unreasonable standards. I always feel like I'm doing less, or that I'm not enough, and it's really hard to shut off the voices in my head.⁣
⁣
I also have a desire to want to control things that I simply can't. I want to make life moldable, malleable between my fingertips. ⁣
⁣
I want to know the outcomes so that I can best plan for them. I don't want to move through life not knowing.⁣
⁣
And it's tough sometimes.

Because instead of recognizing the truth (that really nothing is in my control), I beat myself up for not knowing, and doing, and being more.⁣
⁣
I don't know if you can relate to this. . .but I made this little graphic as a reminder for myself and anyone who feels this way. ⁣
⁣
It's not about external validation, praise, or a pat on the back.

It's about recognizing that who you are --- regardless of what you do --- is valuable. ⁣
⁣
And I'm proud of you.⁣
