Today I submitted a presentation I’ve poured my heart into for weeks. Not perfectly.Not flawlessly.Not with cinematic lighting and angelic sound engineering. 😅 But honestly. Fully. Humanly. And somewhere between rerecording slides, fighting with technology, overthinking my own voice, and hiking a steep trail with Rick and Kenzie recently, I realized something important: self-trust is not the absence of fear, exhaustion, grief, or uncertainty. It’s the willingness to stay connected to yourself as you walk through them. Sometimes we think self-trust should feel like certainty. In reality, it often feels more like: “Welp…this is hard. And frankly, it sucks pointy, hard rocks. But hey, I’m still here.” Lately, I’ve also been noticing how many people stay busy for months, sometimes years, because stillness finally allows grief to catch up and sit beside us. And when it does, many assume they’re falling apart. I don’t think that’s falling apart. I think that’s emergence. The nervous system finally whispers: “Okay…are we safe enough to feel this now?” Tonight’s reminder: You do not have to become perfect before you trust yourself. The lantern doesn’t remove the forest. It simply helps you keep walking.

Sometimes grief doesn’t arrive right away. Sometimes it waits. Until the paperwork is done.Until the casseroles stop coming.Until the world quietly expects you to be “okay again.” And sometimes…we outrun it for a while. Not because we’re avoiding it.Because we had to survive. 🌫️ This Week’s Anchor You don’t have to outrun grief anymore. You also don’t have to fall into it. There is a third option: 👉 You can learn to walk beside it. 🚶‍♀️ The Practice: Walk Beside, Not Inside When grief taps your shoulder this week: 1. Acknowledge it—softly 2. Shift it one inch to the side. Not gone. Not buried. 3. Zoom out—gently. Ask:👉 “What else is true right now?” 4. Find your balance point. Not happiness. Not forced gratitude. 5. Take one small step from there. Sip water. Send the text. Sit in the light. 🪶 For the Ones Who’ve Been Running If you’ve been outrunning grief for a while…This is important: You didn’t do it wrong. You got through. And now your system might be saying: “Hey… we can feel a little of this now.” Not all at once.Just enough to begin. 🕊️ A Gentle Tool: The 90-Second Visit You don’t have to open the floodgates. Try this instead: 1. Set a container. “I’m going to feel this… just for a moment.” 2. Let one memory or feeling in. Just a thread. Not the whole story. 3. Notice where it lives in your body. Chest. Throat. Belly. 4. Close the door on purpose. 5. Ground yourself.Touch something. Drink something. Step outside. 👉 You can visit grief… without moving in. 🔥 Why This Matters When we try to outrun grief, it chases.When we collapse into it, it overwhelms. But when we walk beside it…we become the one holding the lantern. 🧭 Reflection (keep it simple) If you feel like sharing: - One word for what grief felt like this week - One place you found even a hint of balance No deep dives. Just breadcrumbs. 🕯️ Closing Thought Grief doesn’t mean you’re going backward. It often means: “You’re finally safe enough to feel what mattered.” And you don’t have to do that all at once. Just one step.With it beside you.
