I’ve built businesses and still had moments of ‘what am I doing with my life?’ Because purpose evolves. I think the mistake is thinking it’s one clear destination. It’s not. It’s layers. I found mine by mentoring others — sometimes we find purpose in service.

Preach, sis 👏. I’ve built businesses and boundaries — but I had to unlearn the idea that “being chosen” means I’m valuable. Purpose taught me that I choose me first. Everything else must align or be left behind. Let’s talk more on this 🙌

Whenever I feel down about my body, I remind myself that everyone is different, and that’s what makes us beautiful. It’s not easy, but focusing on health and happiness helps more than I expected.

Seeing edited photos can really mess with my self-esteem. I started following more body-positive influencers who show real, unfiltered images, and it’s been such a relief. It reminds me that we’re all unique and beauty isn’t just one standard.

I had a falling out with a close friend because of a miscommunication. It felt like such a big deal at the time, but looking back, I wish I had been more patient. Sometimes we expect our friends to always know how we feel, but it’s important to actually tell them.
