Tug Of War

Can I be real with you?

Alottttt of times we want to move forward without properly addressing our past.

Yes at some point you have to let go of things that weigh you down but have you really dealt with it?

Say you lack confidence.

• Have you acknowledged and addressed the shame or guilt you felt?

• Have you really looked over childhood trauma or adulthood trauma that might’ve caused?

I know you’ve been through a lot but you can’t truly love yourself while hating the experiences that shaped you.

She HURT me, so I hurt her, her, her and her

In life as women sometimes we judge and treat other women in ways that affect them more than we know. It’s time to stop the judgement and actually come together to help our sister, heal our sister, speak life in to our sister, and be there for her.
