“Who let me think I could do this?”

(Me, spiraling last week about my running journey, and content creation in general lol)

Imposter syndrome hit HARD with my running lately and honestly, sharing about it on my stories felt a little scary. But you guys showed up for me, truly. The messages I received and the KINDNESS that you gave? I didn’t realize how much I needed that, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’m going into this week feeling lighter, focusing on the basics. Making time for myself. Running because it makes me feel like I’m flying. Getting the hell outside. That’s it. No overthinking, no pressure, just joy.

And because words have a chokehold on me recently, here are a few that stopped me in my tracks this week and completely shifted my perspective when I needed it the most. Swipe through and let me know which one resonates with you the most.

The book 'Powerless' by Lauren Roberts lies open on a white background, surrounded by descriptive text bubbles like 'unlikely alliance,' 'Dual POVs,' 'Tension & banter,' and 'Revenge driven fmc,' summarizing its key elements.

Was this the #1 book this year?
