You ever realize how easy it is to show up for everyone else and how hard it can be to show up for you?

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about the moment I stopped waiting for someone else to pour into me, and learned how to pour back into myself. From folding everybody’s clothes to letting the kids handle their own, from late-night dinners alone to rediscovering peace in silence this is the part of my journey where effort became sacred.

It’s not about being selfish. It’s about being intentional.

I’m learning that I don’t need a reason to make something special… I am the reason.

So tonight, we’re slowing down, filling our own cups, and remembering: she deserves effort even from me.

💭 Reflection moment: When’s the last time you made a moment just for you?

🎧 Next week on Becoming: We’re talking about what it means to be handled with care — not rushed, not poured out for everyone, but intentional.

There’s a difference between being loved and being needed — and this week, I’m talking about what happens when you’re always the glue holding everything together.

From friendships that fade once you stop fixing everything, to relationships that start to feel like work — I’ve been there. In this episode, I open up about the birthdays I spent waiting for someone else to make me feel special, the prayer that taught me peace doesn’t always come from people, and what it means to finally stop performing “okay.”

If you’ve ever been the strong one, the dependable one, the one who shows up for everyone but yourself — this one’s for you, chy.
