THE HEALER YOU’VE
BEEN WAITING FOR IS
YOU.
Honour Yourself
Your feelings, needs, and desires matter. You
don’t need to justify them or wait for permission.
Start placing yourself back on the priority list.
When you honour yourself, you model to others
how to treat you, and you begin to reclaim pieces
of your identity that may have been lost along the
way.
You Can’t Give from an Empty Cup
I often share this analogy with my clients: when
your phone’s battery gets low, it starts switching
off features to conserve power. Our energy works
the same way. You only have so much to give. If
your energy is depleted, anything you offer
others may come at the cost of your own
wellbeing.
You have a choice:
• Recharge your battery through things such as
meditation, nourishing food, laughter, movement,
or rest.
• Or simply say no.
When you start to view everything through the
lens of energy—whether it adds to or subtracts
from your wellbeing—you begin to make clearer,
more aligned choices.
When we constantly give our energy away, we can
lose sight of who we are. I see this often,
especially in women who have spent years caring
for others. When life finally gives them space to
breathe, they realise they’re not sure what brings
them joy anymore.
If this feels familiar, I want you to know you’re not
alone. You haven’t lost yourself—you’re just being
called to return to you.
She remembered who she was and
the game changed.
