We declutter our homes. Maybe it’s time to declutter our identities. Over a lifetime we collect them. Executive. Partner. Caregiver. Expert. The responsible one. The person everyone depends on. Some we chose. Some were assigned to us.
Most were true. Some still are. An identity can expire before our attachment to it does. So we keep organizing our lives around a career we left, a relationship that ended, or a version of success we no longer want. When life takes one of those away, the loss runs deeper than the title. It takes part of the answer to “Who am I?”
Identity decluttering is an inventory. Two questions:
What’s still true?
What am I keeping only because I don’t know who I’d be without it?
An identity can be sacred and still be finished. You can honor who you were and stop introducing yourself as that person.
That was me. I don’t live there anymore. Sometimes becoming means putting something down. What’s one identity you’ve outgrown but haven’t put down yet?

Confidence is not consent to objectification. Visibility is not unlimited access.

Late-summer inventory.

I’ve been quieter lately. Praying. Meditating. Training. Dancing. Running. Fasting. Resting. Writing. Going to the spa. Taking inventory of my work, relationships, habits, boundaries and myself. Some of it has been beautiful. Some of it has looked like a crash-out. 😂 There are still a few things that produce righteous indignation in me. The list is getting shorter.
I’ve also become unapologetically proud of my body. I train for it. I feel sexy in it. I like showing it. That’s it; there’s no deeper explanation coming. Some people won’t like my boundaries. Some won’t like my self-expression. That’s okay. Not everyone has to stay. Embodiment means I actually live what I talk about. I care for my mind. I strengthen my body. I check my own behavior. I protect my peace. I correct myself when I need to. I keep showing up in service. I’m not trying to become another woman. I’m becoming more disciplined about being this one. Stronger. Quieter. Clearer. Still a little scandalous. ☀️🔥🤭

What’s still on your righteous indignation list?

Nobody cheats because they’re starving.
The men I’ve watched do this all had more than enough, which is why the hunger framing has never explained anything. It’s an appetite problem. Appetite grows on what you feed it, and the justification gets built before the behavior, not after.
Slide 6 is the one that lands wrong at first. Sit with it anyway.

Fidelity starts long before anyone touches anyone.
Most men I talk to are not lying about the facts. They didn’t do anything. They also know exactly what they’ve been feeding, and they’ve built a technical innocence around it that would not survive being said out loud.
Save this for the conversation you’ve been avoiding.

Happy birthday to me! 🖤

Truly, I’ve found myself in the silence during this season of being and observing… this is my 3 birthday as a widow. Grateful for the lessons and growth. The best is yet to come and yes to more perspicacity, more alignment with the spirit of the divine and more nurturing my sobrerity of spirit, body, and mind…🙏✨

PS. If you're life is not up to your standards… honestly, don't waste your MTF time (time is currency) a la poubelle!!!😉😎

We say we want to support people through trauma until trauma changes how they show up.
It doesn’t always look like sadness. It looks like withdrawal, impulsivity, oversharing, reactivity, a person trying to feel alive again by any means available to them.
None of that makes harmful behavior okay. Accountability and grace can hold the same room.
If someone you love has lived through a catastrophic event and they say or do something that hurts you, talk to them before you build a story about them. Give them the chance to hear you and to repair it. Give the relationship a chance to survive the worst year of their life.
Trauma is not an excuse for hurting people. But understanding what it does to a human being keeps us from losing people we did not have to lose.
What did you need most from your friends when your life fell apart?

Let them off the hook.
The heartbreak usually isn’t what someone did. It’s the expectation that next time they’ll be different.
When someone has shown you the same limitation over and over, believe them. That doesn’t make them bad or uncaring. It usually means you’re asking a person to occupy a role they don’t fit. You can love someone and stop inviting them to every party. You can appreciate what they do bring and stop negotiating with what they don’t.
This is not tolerating bad treatment. It’s ending a negotiation whose outcome you already know.
Let them be. Then decide what you want to do with that information.
Send this to the person you keep hoping will surprise you.
P.S. The sky insisted on co-hosting. I did not argue.
