Not everything that breaks you is meant to destroy you. Some things come to crack the shell you’ve outgrown. To shake loose the parts of you that were built from survival, not truth. It’s okay to grieve those pieces… the personas, the patterns, the dreams that no longer fit. You’re not losing yourself. You’re meeting the version of you that doesn’t need to perform for love anymore. The one who knows they’re worthy even in the mess. You may not recognise the person you’re becoming – and that’s a good thing… it means you’re no longer repeating the past. It means you’re choosing differently, showing up more honestly, standing more firmly in your knowing. Trust the confusion. Trust the shedding. You’re not meant to go back to who you were. You’re meant to rise as someone braver, someone truer, someone more you.
Sometimes, the cracks that appear in your life are the very places where light begins to seep in. The pain, the confusion, the setbacks… they may feel like endings, but more often than not, they are the beginning of something deeper and more resilient.
What shattered wasn’t your spirit—it was the illusion that you had to stay the same to be whole.
You weren’t meant to return to your old self.
That version of you was built for a season that has already passed.
Growth demands evolution, and healing is not about going back — it’s about becoming someone new with the strength born from experience.
There’s power in surviving what you thought would break you, and even more power in using it as the foundation to rise stronger, clearer and more purposeful than ever.
If you’re standing at the edge of your own transformation, don’t retreat — step forward. Message me for life coaching and let’s build the next version of you together 🦋
