🧪 Freedom Formulas

The most confusing season of growth is when gratitude and restlessness exist at the same time.

I’m living in that strange “Yes, AND…” chapter right now.

Yes, I’m proud of the career and life I’ve built.

AND… I feel a deeper pull toward something more fulfilling, more expansive, more me.

Yes, I have so much to be grateful for.

AND… I know I’m not done evolving yet.

A few weeks ago, that realization hit me like a wave I didn’t see coming - panic attacks, anxiety, overwhelm, a profound level of sadness.

When your body finally catches up with what your heart has quietly known, it can feel like everything is unraveling.

And for a moment, I made the mistake so many of us make:

I tried to project my internal fear onto the safest thing in my life, my relationship.

Thankfully, love held firm. ❤️

And in that messy, beautiful undoing, I learned something important:

Discomfort isn’t a red flag. Sometimes, it’s a green light.

Despite every fiber of my Type A being resisting it:

I’m no longer rushing to fix it.

I’m sitting with it.

Investing in myself.

In my friendships.

And trusting the next version of my life to reveal itself in its own time.

Because real growth doesn’t always feel like fireworks or big wins.

Sometimes, it feels like letting go of who you were - even when she was successful - to make space for who you’re becoming.

If you’re in your own “Yes, AND…” era right now, you’re not lost.

You’re expanding.

Expansion feels uncomfortable because it’s stretching you into spaces your old life couldn’t hold.

Stay with it.

You’re building a life that actually fits.
