Ever notice how exhausting it is to be “easygoing”? Not because life is hard — but because you’re constantly managing everyone else’s comfort. Holding your tongue. Softening your truth. Smoothing edges before anyone even notices them. At some point, “keeping the peace” stops being mature and starts being self-erasure. What looks calm on the outside can feel loud and heavy on the inside. That weight? It’s information. 💬 Where are you spending energy staying quiet instead of being honest? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pojL_35QlSI

Burnout doesn’t come from trying less—it comes from protecting yourself too little. We glorify pushing past our limits. But every time we ignore the signals, we pay a price. Most women don’t need more motivation—they need boundaries. Your health, your energy, your peace—they matter. Do you agree or disagree? 🔥 if it hits home. 😬 if it challenges you. What’s one area in your life where you need to hit pause?

I'm not a man, so I'm not going to pretend that I understand or know what it's like to be a man. I also don't want to give ANY impression that masculinity or masculine traits are bad or less than. The world NEEDS masculine traits...I think we're in desperate need actually. It's been interesting to see the shift from unhealthy masculinity to the complete oppression of masculinity... Ultimately though, I think that we need humans that can embody a level of wholeness. (the post below mainly focuses on one aspect of this...but there's always more) I work with men and I love them. I love humanity--with all it's beauty, with all it's ick, with all it's wrestling in the mud...But i think that there's a special place in my heart for men. I can only speak from my experience with interacting with men...so while I'm not a man and can't get the full scope, I'm thankful for being allowed in spaces where they've shared their experiences... In working with men, I get to see the pain that's there, the striving, the need for connection, the fear of failure and fear of not living up to their potential, the things left unsaid or unaddressed because there are certain expectations or there are certain societal waves at play that don't leave a place for men to really speak up without repercussions. Other men experience the opposite--where there's less striving, less leading, less masculine traits presented and they also suffer-from a lack of direction, effectiveness. Some have direction/clarity but the current societal environment doesn't necessarily allow for it. The current environment around how some men are treated is also fascinating and appears to be damaging..A lot of shame can arise in any of these cases. Sometimes some of the men deny that these things even exist in their lives but more often than not, over time there's a realization. Something that doesn’t get talked about enough is how many high-achieving men end up sabotaging themselves because of the version of masculinity that helped them succeed. The grind, the emotional shutdown, the “handle it alone” mentality--it kinda works, you know? Until it doesn't. Using pain as a fuel source can be really motivating and can feel like "fire under the a$$" but when it seeps in other areas of life, it ends up being messy, painful, harmful. On the other side of the spectrum there are individuals that are lacking clarity in vision/direction and there's little striving/less leading and this contributes to feelings of ineffectiveness, lack of purpose, depression. There are also groups of men that are feeling limited in their ability to move forward due to the current stance of society..

Growth doesn’t happen because the year changes — it happens because you change. Sometimes the most powerful shift is simply choosing to stop carrying what’s been weighing you down. What’s one thing you’re releasing before 2026?
