Leaning Into My Authenticity This Summer: Rediscovering Joy & Letting Go 🌿✨

This summer has been such a sweet time of leaning into my true self and falling back in love with the little things that make me me. After too long of listening to all the “shoulds,” I’m finally giving myself permission to follow my heart — and honestly, it feels amazing.

Here are some simple joys I’ve been soaking up lately:

🌸 Going on Walks 
My daily walks have become my happy place — fresh air, sunshine on my face, and the chance to just breathe and be. It’s my favorite way to slow down and check in with myself.

💪 The Gym
I’m learning to see the gym as my body’s playground — a place to move, get stronger, and feel proud of what I can do. Taking this time for me feels like a big act of self-love.

🍳 Making Great Recipes
Cooking is my little creative escape. Trying new recipes and making yummy meals feels like a cozy hug for my soul (and my taste buds!).

👧 Reconnecting with Family
I’m so excited to see my nieces in a few weeks! Family reminds me what really matters — love, laughter, and those special moments that warm your heart.

✨ Letting Go of “Shoulds”
The best part? I’m learning to let go of all the “shoulds” that weigh me down. Saying yes to what feels right and no to what doesn’t is the kindest thing I can do for myself.

A little reminder for you — and for me:
I am enough exactly as I am. I choose to honor my journey and nurture my authentic self with kindness and love every single day.
