Today is our day. And I want to invite you into something special. Not more doing, not another task or goal…
Just a moment to come home to YOU.
Let’s reconnect, not by fixing ourselves—but by remembering how incredible we already are.
You know those days when you walk into a room and forget why you’re there?
That’s not just memory. That’s life’s way of saying: “Hey… you’ve been running on autopilot for too long.”
We lose ourselves in the busy. In the roles. In the to-do lists longer than a Pick n Pay till slip.
And somewhere in there, we stop hearing our own voice.
Today, I want to help you turn the volume back up.
Now I know “self-compassion” sounds like something you’d hear in a yoga retreat in Bali… but stick with me.
Dr. Kristin Neff—yes, the wise woman I’d definitely take to brunch—says self-compassion is simply treating yourself like you would a good friend.
Think about it: if your bestie came to you and said,
“I’m failing, I’m so tired, I can’t do this anymore,”
Would you say:
“Well, maybe if you just tried harder…”
Of course not!
You’d say: “You’re doing your best. Take a breath. You’ve got this.”
But how often do we say that to ourselves?
Self-compassion isn’t indulgence—it’s permission to be human.
To drop the ball and still believe in your bounce-back.
5 Playful Ways to Come Home to Yourself
Talk to yourself like your future self who already owns her dream life
“Hey girl, you’re doing your best—and that’s enough.” Add a little sass. It works.
Dance it out.
One Beyoncé song a day keeps the inner critic away.
Have a “No List.”
A list of things you’re not available for anymore. Guilt, perfectionism, comparing yourself to that mom who bakes gluten-free everything.
Celebrate micro-wins.
Drank water? Win. Didn’t lose your cool in traffic? Win. Showed up in leggings again? Bonus points.
Book a YOU date.
Once a week. Coffee. Journal. Walk. Spa. Craft. No kids. No guilt. Just you + joy.
So today, I want you to leave with one truth:
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are not too much—or not enough.
You’re a whole, radiant woman rediscovering her rhythm.
And the best way to celebrate that?
By being a little kinder to yourself. Laughing more. Loosening the grip. And showing up—not perfectly, but fully.
Let’s toast (with coffee or mocktails!) to being powerful, playful, and perfectly human.
