Reclaim Day 27: Your Voice Matters
Today is about your voice because it matters more than you may realize. You may have been told your voice was too much. You may have been ignored, misunderstood, or talked over. Maybe you were punished or dismissed for being honest. These experiences often create the belief that silence is safer than truth. But hiding your voice does not protect your power. It keeps you disconnected from it. Your voice is how you express the truth. It's how you ask for what you need. It's how you create boundaries, share ideas, and speak up when something is not okay. When you silence yourself, you are not being kind or easy to work with. You are abandoning yourself to make others more comfortable. You deserve to be heard. You don't have to say everything perfectly. You don't have to know all the answers. You only need to speak from honesty and trust that your voice is worthy. 💣TRUTH BOMB💣 You don't need permission to speak. You only need to know that YOUR voice matters. Not because it is loud, but because it is yours. Today's Activity: Speak up in a situation where you would normally stay quiet. How did it feel to finally stand up to yourself?

I was always silenced by my mother. It has taken a toll on me but I am still working on breaking away from the mindset that my opinion or words don't matter. I have set up my bout and I am at peace. It's a little lonely here but I would rather peaceover drama any day.

@Barb Ling After moms diagnosis of Earlier onset Alzheimer's disease it was a bit hard because it was my job to take care of her. Fast forward she actually helped me feel better about myself once she had started forgetting things. I got to know the woman everyone else got to see and boasted about. For whatever reason I was pushed away before and connecting some dots with information she would never have given before I realized that she was carrying the burdens of her parents and siblings (she was number 8 of 10). While beginning to work on the inner child that just wanted her mommy I also worked on hers. I never thought I would ever see my mother in such a vulnerable and scary place but she was and all she had was me. She is in a facility now not far from me for safety reasons but I am glad God worked things out with us the way he did because any other way she would still be pushing me away.
Reclaim Day 12: Say No With Confidence
Today we’re talking about a tiny word that carries a whole lot of power. No. Some of us were practically trained not to say it. We learned to smile instead. To explain. To over-justify. To say yes when every cell in our body was whispering, “Please don’t.” But here’s the truth: Saying no doesn’t make you rude. It doesn't make you selfish. It makes you honest. When you say no, you’re protecting your energy. Your time. Your values. Your peace. And if saying no feels uncomfortable? You are absolutely not alone. Most of us fear disappointing someone. We worry about tension. We don’t want to be “that person.” But every time you say yes when you mean no, something small inside you erodes. A little bit of self-trust. A little bit of inner calm. And over time, that turns into resentment. And we don’t do resentment here. 😉 A clear, respectful no is enough. The more you practice, the more natural it becomes. You start to feel steady in your decisions. You stop overthinking. You stop carrying the emotional weight of things you never really wanted to agree to in the first place. Powerful women know when to say no. They understand that honoring themselves matters more than pleasing everyone else. Your no is not a rejection of someone else. It a commitment to yourself. And that? That’s personal power in action. ✨ Today’s Activity: Say no to one thing you don’t truly want. It can be small. Just make sure it’s honest. If you're up for it, come back and tell us how it felt.

One of the hardest yet rewarding things I have learned to say.

@Liz Ducote still a work in progress but it's getting better.
How do I practice self-care in the middle of a busy day? ⏰🌿
Not the spa-day kind. Real-life, in-between moments. What’s one thing that helps you reset when time is limited? Short answers totally count. ❤️

Taking a quick nap, getting Starbucks, buying something special for myself, etc.
Reclaim Day 5: Cut the Cord on Energy Drains
Today is about noticing what drains your energy...and choosing to let it go. Energy drains can be subtle: a task done out of guilt a person who leaves you feeling heavy a thought pattern that quietly wears you down Notice what feels like a weight instead of a choice. That’s where your energy is leaking. You don’t have to fix everything. Just be honest about what’s no longer working. Letting go doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you’re choosing yourself. When you release what drains you, you create space for what restores you. Today’s Activity: Identify and release one energy drain.

Reading this I realize that I have to let go of anything dealing with my grandfather's old house (aka mama's house). A few years ago when I brought my mother to live with us because of her diagnosis of earlier onset of Alzheimer's the family thought it was of their interest to investigate what i was doing with mama's house. I get a call at night from my aunt asking me why she was told that I was going to sell mamas house to pay off mine. That was the first time I had ever hung up on her, cursed out my brother, and literally flipped out in the same day. Lets just say that it was very nasty what transpired going forth. The house is old, outdated, and barely standing. I am cutting any responsibility that I have supposedly been given by taking responsibility of my mother.

Reclaim Day 6: Stop Apologizing for Existing
Today’s reminder is simple but powerful: you don’t need to apologize for who you are. Notice how often “sorry” slips out when you speak up, take a break, share an opinion, or take up space. Over time, that habit sends the message that your presence is a problem. It's not. You are not too much. You are allowed to have needs, boundaries, and a voice. Before you apologize today, pause. Ask yourself: Am I actually sorry, or am I trying to make someone else more comfortable? You can be kind without shrinking. You can be thoughtful without silencing yourself. Today’s Activity: Catch yourself before saying “sorry” when it’s not needed. Jot down each time you notice the urge. Choose truth over habit.

This speaks directly to me. I always apologize for the inconvenience of others. I need to work on that.
