These wild times have moved me to want to help people on a bigger scale.
But what’s become very clear is… I need to help myself first.
You know that plane analogy we’ve all heard—
“Put your oxygen mask on first. Don’t die.”
Yeah. That one.
It’s real. And it’s taken me many years to actually feel what that means in my body.
Being a helper has come with a cost.
I’ve sacrificed myself.
Over and over again. For the sake of showing up, being strong, being dependable.
But now I’m in the process of healing myself.
And honestly? I feel like I’m in the in-between.
Not who I was. Not fully who I’m becoming.
Just… here.
Hoping I’m closer to my next version—my more evolved, higher-consciousness self—than to the old one I’ve outgrown.
Cheers to hoping.
And to breathing first.
