THREAD:

There are a lot of people feeling lost, lonely, isolated, vulnerable, broken. Chewed up & spat out by the system. A victim of circumstances. I hear from you on a daily basis, those who reach out & need a shoulder or an ear.

I want to remind you that you are stronger than you think you are. That you had more impact than you give yourself credit for. That you changed more lives than you remember. Everyone has a story, a journey, but these narratives are framed differently.

Don't believe all the hype. Don't feel inferior or like an imposter. Remember there is a lot of smoke & mirrors. If you can sleep at night knowing you are good person, who works hard, who is passionate & invested then your conscience is clear.

I highly recommend coaching as a cathartic process to shed some of the baggage emotionally & mentally. That & some time out. A good friend calls it 'crawling into the cave' - sometimes you need to withdraw, reflect, sleep & wait for the spring to awaken you.

Even when you come out, when you rise again, like a phoenix for a new chapter - there will always be ghosts, shadows & memories that will revisit you. You need to find peace with them so that they no longer weigh you down or hold you back.

A few people know this is meant for you. Others will no doubt read this & it will resonate. Do something positive for yourself, give yourself some self care. Be as kind to yourself as you are to others. You will be alright, I promise. We've got you in the meanwhile. X
