Hey ,

A few months ago, I had one of those mornings—the kind that stops you in your tracks. I was completely exhausted, sitting on my couch in tears, wondering, When is the stress going to ease up?

Life had been demanding so much, and I had been pouring every ounce of myself into meeting those demands—advocating for Oli, holding everything together, and trying to keep moving forward. But that morning, I couldn’t push through anymore.

So, I wrapped myself in a blanket, closed my eyes, and just breathed. And then a thought whispered through the chaos:

“You need the same love and care you so freely give to everyone else.”

It was a reminder I didn’t know I needed, but it shifted something inside me. I realized that loving ourselves is less about grand gestures and more about small, intentional choices—the quiet moments where we offer ourselves the kindness we often reserve for others.

I’m learning that self-love isn’t something we find; it’s something we create.

As Rupi Kaur writes:

"How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you."

And how do we do that? By choosing softness over self-criticism. By asking ourselves, What do I need today? and listening for the answer. By pausing—just for a moment—and remembering that we matter too.

This month, I want to invite you to ask yourself that question: What do I need right now?

Give yourself permission to pause. To breathe. To choose a little more ease, a little more love, and a little more you.
