You Need to Unravel Before You Can Knit Yourself Anew

To grow, we must first let go.

As women in leadership, we're often expected to have everything together—to be strong, composed, and always in control. But true self-development requires something different: the courage to unravel.

? Unravelling means loosening the tightly wound layers of our lives—the expectations, the self-imposed limits, the roles we play for others—so we can examine the threads that no longer serve us. It’s a process of unlearning, of shedding the old narratives that have kept us bound.

But unravelling isn’t weakness. In fact, it’s one of the most powerful things you can do. When you allow yourself to come undone, you create space for clarity, healing, and transformation.

?? To knit yourself anew is to rebuild from a place of truth. It’s an opportunity to redefine what success means to you, to realign with your values, and to create something more intentional, more authentic.

As leaders, we must understand that personal evolution isn’t linear—it’s cyclical. Growth doesn’t come from staying the same, but from embracing the changes that make us stronger, wiser, and more aligned with our purpose.

So if you feel like you're coming undone, know this: it’s a necessary part of the process. You are in the middle of a transformation, unravelling so you can knit yourself into something even greater.

?? It’s okay to unravel, because what comes next is a masterpiece only you can create.
