You’re Not Broken—You’re Human

May 13th 2025

‍If you’ve ever felt frustrated that you just can’t seem to be “normal” like everyone else—this is for you.

Maybe you’re juggling a job while battling brain fog that makes basic tasks feel like a mountain. Maybe your body aches from old trauma, and no one sees it. Maybe you’re parenting with a heart that’s still learning what safety looks like. Maybe you’re doing all of this while still trying to figure out how to have healthy relationships—how to be vulnerable, how to trust, how to stay present.

And it’s hard.

“You are not behind. You are healing.”

Let that sink in. Because healing isn’t something you finish. It’s something you live.

You Are Not Alone in This

There is no gold star for pretending you're fine.
There is no shame in needing rest.
There is no weakness in struggling.

You are not less because you need more time.
You are not failing because you need more care.
You are not broken because you feel overwhelmed.

“Everything you’ve done to get here is seen—and it’s nothing short of a miracle.”

Gentle Self-Care for the Journey

You don’t need to overhaul your life to care for yourself. You just need to start small, with what’s doable for you. Here are a few simple, powerful ways to care for yourself today:

😌 Breathe on Purpose

Take 3 deep breaths. That’s it. That’s self-care.

✍️ Name What You Feel

Say it out loud or write it down. Naming your emotions can bring calm.

💧 Drink Water

It’s not just physical—it’s neurological. Hydration supports healing.

🤲 Place a Hand on Your Heart

Say something kind: “I’m doing the best I can.” That’s Truth.

🔕 Limit Input

Mute the noise. Take breaks from people or platforms that overwhelm you when you can.

⏳ Take 5 Minutes for You

Step outside, stretch, sit in silence. Small resets can shift your whole day.

🧡 Ask for Help

You don’t have to do this alone.

We See You. We Believe In You.

You are doing sacred, courageous work just by living—by being here-by choosing every day to rise and tackle life. Give yourself credit for every small win. Healing is not a race.

If you ever feel lost, tired, or unsure, reach out to someone that you trust.
You don’t have to have it all together. You don’t have to explain everything.
You just have to take the next step. Breathe.
