For heart-led women who give their all and still find it hard to receive.
Why we Struggle to See the Silver Lining
There’s a moment in every caring woman’s journey where everything feels like too much.
Your not just managing all the responsibilities-you’re holding space for everyone else’s emotions, needs and expectations. And when grief, burnout or major life changes arise, it’s easy to question yourself.
“Is this all there is? Have I done something wrong? Why does this feel so hard?”
But what if the opposite is true?
What if these moments of challenge are not punishments or signs to give up… but sacred invitations to go deeper, soften into truth, and come home to yourself?
The Truth About Difficult Times (That No-One Teaches Us)
For years, I resisted pain. I stayed busy. I overgave. I avoided the ache.
But eventually, I learned something:
I wasn’t being asked to fix or prove anything.
I was being asked to pause, to feel, and to listen.
The breakdowns became breakthroughs.
The unraveling made room for truth.
And the decisions I’d been avoiding? They became the doorway to freedom.
As Rumi so beautifully shared:
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
The cracks in our lives? They often let in the light we’ve been praying for..
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
— Rumi
Obstacles Are Not Stop Signs - They're Doorways
Too often, we view challenges as signs to turn back or give up.
But lately, I’ve been pondering a deeper truth:
What if the very thing you see as an obstacle… is actually the doorway?
Not a dead end. Not a mistake. But a portal into a more expansive, truer version of you.
In hindsight, the hardest seasons of my life—those that brought me to my knees—also brought me closer to my power, peace, and purpose.
The moments I thought would break me…actually rebuilt me. They brought me back to my heart, to my truth and the courage to choose me.
To a life that finally felt like mine.
You're Not Broken. You're Breaking Free
Today, through the Soaring Free Method, I guide women walk through their own sacred doorways.
Not with hustle, shame, or fixing…
But by remembering who they are-and who they’ve always been beneath layers of overgiving and self-doubt.
Because you’re not here to carry everyone else.
You’re here to feel free in your own skin. To live, love, and give from the overflow.
And sometimes, the path to that freedom begins with falling apart…so you can rise again, whole.
The Invitation: Trust the Becoming
If life feels heavy right now, please know this:
It’s not the end of your story.
It’s the beginning of a new chapter-one where you come home to you.
The silver lining might not be visible yet, but you are becoming.
You’re not broken.
You’re becoming whole.
Reflection Prompt for You:
