You Don’t Have to Keep Pretending

Some women wear their struggles on the surface. Others hide them quite well.

You’d never know it from the outside looking in ~ she’s smart, capable, put together. She knows how to show up, how to lead, how to do the things that need doing. She really has figured out most things.

But in the background, food is still a thing. Body is still a thing.

• Not always dramatic. But pretty constant.

• A quiet negotiation in her mind.

• A subtle tension after every meal.

• A conversation starting with “I shouldn’t have” or “I’ll be better tomorrow.”

And because she’s strong ~ and even praised for how well she holds it all together ~ she doesn’t talk about it. She brushes her feelings aside, hardly noticing them. And when she does take notice, she tells herself it’s not a big deal. That everyone probably feels this way. That she should be past this by now.

But underneath all that strength is a woman who just wants to feel normal around food. To not have it take up so much mental space. To stop performing confidence and actually feel it.

If this is you ~ there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken. You’re not the only one.

And this isn't about willpower or discipline. It’s about learning to unwind patterns that don’t serve you anymore, and relate to your body and your choices in a whole new way.

You don’t have to struggle quietly. You don’t have to keep pretending.
You get to feel as good on the inside as you look on the outside. And that all begins by getting radically honest ~ with yourself first.
