Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire ??

Your Mirror is a Big, Fat LIAR!

Picture this ??

You’re standing in front of an ancient mirror, its surface worn with time, its frame carved with the stories of those who came before you.

As you gaze into it, you expect to see YOU - the woman you were BEFORE grief came crashing in.

But instead, all you see are the cracks.

The weight of loss.

The lingering doubts.

The whispered questions: “Am I enough? Am I even whole anymore?”

Grief has a way of distorting our reflection, making us believe that because we have lost, we are less.

That because our hearts have been broken, we are broken too.

I know that grief distorted my lens for a LONG time ??

But what if I told you that your mirror is a big, fat liar?

What if every crack, every wound, every tear you’ve shed has only made you MORE worthy, not less?

?? Grief does NOT determine your worth.

?? Your pain does NOT make you less lovable, less valuable, or less deserving of joy.

?? You have ALWAYS been enough, exactly as you are.

But I get it - grief makes it really hard to see that sometimes. ?

Especially when you have experienced abuse, bullying, infertility, miscarriages, divorce…basically any grief that leaves you feeling “less than” - for whatever creative reason you can come up with (and, WOW, our brains are super creative!)

Because when you're grieving, your self-worth feels fragile.

You wonder if you’ll ever feel confident again.

If you’re doing enough.

If you are enough.

You may feel guilty for wanting joy, afraid that happiness means you’ve moved on, left them behind, or that you don’t deserve it.

But let me remind you of something you might have forgotten:

Grief did NOT take away your worth - it just made you forget where to look.

??????

So here’s what I want you to do.

Close your eyes.

Breathe deeply.

Picture that mirror again - but this time, I want you to look BEYOND the cracks.

BEYOND the loss.

BEYOND the pain.

I want you to see the courage it took you to get here.

The love that still exists within you.

The strength that has carried you through even your darkest days.

That’s YOU ??

Whole. Worthy. Radiant. YOU!

Grief may be a part of your story, but it is NOT the author.

YOU are.

So today, I dare you to see yourself through a new lens - one that isn’t cracked by loss, but illuminated by your resilience, courage & strength.

You are NOT less because of what you’ve lost. You are MORE because of what you’ve survived.

And you are so incredibly worthy of joy, love, and healing.

YOU are worth it!
