Loving yourself and wanting more are not contradictions. They are powerful companions.
Somewhere along the way, many women have been conditioned to believe that striving for more—more success, more confidence, more growth—means they must not be satisfied with who they are. That if they seek to evolve, they must be lacking in some way. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Wanting to grow doesn’t mean you’re rejecting yourself. It means you’re honoring yourself. It means you see your potential and refuse to settle. It means you trust that you were made to expand, to lead, and to fully embrace every part of your journey—without guilt, without apology.
And more importantly, it means you are walking in alignment with what God desires for you. He didn’t create you to stay stagnant. He designed you to flourish, to step into your purpose boldly, and to use your gifts for His glory. Growth isn’t about striving in your own strength—it’s about allowing Him to shape you into the woman He created you to be.
You Are Not Starting Over—You Are Rising
It’s easy to feel like you have to constantly prove yourself. Maybe you’ve been through setbacks that made you question if you were on the right path. Maybe you’ve faced rejection that made you wonder if your story even mattered. Maybe you’ve reached a level of success but still feel like something is missing.
None of these experiences are signs that you’re failing. They’re proof that you are in motion.
I know this feeling firsthand. After three years of stepping away from coaching to focus on healing, I wondered if I could even come back. Had I lost my momentum? Did my story still resonate? Could I truly rebuild after so much time away?
But more than that, I questioned how to come back. How could I marry my personal experience—my journey through amputation and resilience—with the deep knowledge I had for branding and building online platforms? Were they too different? Would my audience understand the connection? Did I have to choose between the two?
What I’ve learned is that stepping away wasn’t losing my path. It was preparing me for the next version of my purpose. My lived experience didn’t replace my expertise—it expanded it. I wasn’t starting over. I was rising.
Every pivot, every heartbreak, every challenge you’ve endured has shaped you—not to break you, but to strengthen you. You are not lost. You are not behind. You are in the process of becoming.
The world may see uncertainty, but you see possibility. The world may see an ending, but you see a new beginning.
That’s because you were built for resilience. For reinvention. For rising, again and again, into the woman you are meant to be.
Your Growth Is an Act of Self-Love
You don’t have to shrink yourself to be accepted. You don’t have to stay the same to be loved. True self-acceptance isn’t about staying in one place—it’s about giving yourself the freedom to evolve.
Even now, I’m stretching myself in new ways. Launching my upcoming The Strength in Her Stride show feels like stepping into the unknown. The tech feels overwhelming, and I question whether I have enough to say each week to make it valuable. But growth isn’t about having all the answers before you begin—it’s about trusting yourself enough to take the first step.
There is nothing wrong with being ambitious. There is nothing wrong with wanting more. There is nothing wrong with deciding that your past will not limit your future.
Success doesn’t require you to abandon who you are. It invites you to step into the fullest, most vibrant version of yourself.
The Next Chapter Is Yours to Write
You have a choice. You can allow yourself to be defined by the struggles and setbacks you’ve experienced. Or you can decide that everything you’ve been through is simply part of the foundation for the extraordinary life you are building.
Not because you aren’t enough as you are. But because you are so much more than you’ve even begun to realize.
So, when you’re ready to embrace everything that has shaped you, when you’re ready to rise with confidence, when you’re ready to own your story without hesitation…
I’ll be waiting.
And even more importantly—God will be leading the way.
