Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers, the grandmothers, the bonus mamas, the aunties, the godmothers, and the women who mother children they didn’t give birth to but still love deeply. 💐 To every woman who nurtures, protects, teaches, listens, prays, shows up, and pours love into the next generation…you are seen. You are appreciated, and your love leaves fingerprints on hearts forever. ❤️
Today, stop giving people immediate access to your energy. Instead of responding right away to every text, request, or invitation… give yourself time to check in with you first. Not to play games. Not to avoid people. But to practice responding from alignment instead of pressure. Before replying, ask yourself: “What response feels honest for me?” Notice how often you’ve been trained to respond quickly… even when your body wants space. Your healing deserves a pause. Your boundaries deserve consideration.
My boundaries reflect my growth.I honor what feels right for me without guilt or explanation. This is the week your healing becomes visible. Not in what you say… But in what you no longer allow.
I have been in therapy for over a decade and one thing I was never asked is how I want to be treated. What are my expectations and how can I communicate my needs. They'd just be so enamored with my story, I'd hardly get feedback..My therapist today gave me the most feedback since working with her since 2024. Some of these therapists are merely entertained and not providing actual therapy (work). It feels nice to have someone to talk to and laugh with, but I need actual help and feedback. I'm actually scared to tell her this, because I don't want her to be upset with me, but I'm dying over here. I need direction..
Your boundaries will either protect your healing…or expose where you’re still abandoning yourself. If it doesn’t align, it doesn’t get access. Period. Ask yourself, “What are you still accepting?”
I definitely have an alignment with where I want my career to look like, and what I want my life to look like, but I'm still figuring out the relationship part. I've been so entrenched into my work, my relationships fall by way side. Even when I encounter issues, I just walk away rather than talk through. I'm just tired of explaining my needs, and just speak to people that reach out to me. Thats where I'm at with it..
