Why Do I Do What I Do...

---

There once was a time when I needed someone to help me, to advocate for me, to be the person who refused to remain silent on my behalf. I had many people come in and out of my life who swore that they would be there for me and that things would get better, but they never actually did. It wasn't until I was substantially older and realized that was entirely because I needed to be the person to save myself, and I couldn't count on someone else to do it for me. 

You see, I believe that nobody else knows our needs the way that we do. We are the only ones who are capable of meeting our own needs. The second we place those needs in the hands of others is when we become co-dependent and reliant on another person. Now don't get me wrong, relationships are super important, but the relationship you build with yourself should be the one you spend the most energy on. 

You are strong. 

You are capable. 

You are loved. 

You are worthy.

You are captivating. 

You are enough. 

You are healthy.

You are wealthy.

You are rich.

You are that... oops. Wrong song... 

You are broken. 

You are beautiful. 

You are everything you could ever dream of and more. 

Yes, I do this because I believe in it, and I believe that we all deserve to live our best lives, no matter what that looks like. And I know my kids and husband like having me home more. But, ultimately, the reason I do this, is YOU.
