Hey friend, can I just take a moment and say… I see you. I see the way you’re carrying so much right now — the endless to-do lists, the expectations, the desire to show up well in every area of your life. It can feel exhausting trying to do it all, can’t it? And if you’re anything like me, you probably put so much pressure on yourself to hold everything together, even when it feels like too much.

This episode is for the girl who is trying to accomplish it all. The one who feels pulled in a hundred different directions, but still keeps showing up. I want to share with you five things that have been on my heart — simple truths and practical reminders to help you breathe a little deeper, release the weight of perfection, and find encouragement right where you are. Because you are doing better than you think, and I want to remind you of that today.

Have you ever got to the end of your day feeling like you didn’t do enough? Or maybe you did plenty, but it wasn’t actually anything that needed to get done in order to accomplish anything.

So give yourself grace and the space to be the version of you that you have the bandwidth for in this particular moment and season of life.
