Becoming the Woman You Used to Dream Of

Do you remember her? That version of yourself, the one you dreamed of becoming when you were younger, full of hope and imagination?

It takes hundreds of years for the sequoias to become the giants they are, but they never give up and neither should you!

I’ve spent a lot of time looking back at that girl, that young woman, and realizing something beautiful; she’s been there all along…waiting, encouraging, whispering: “You’re closer than you think.”

We often measure growth by the milestones we achieve or the external recognition we receive. But true transformation is quieter than that, it’s in the mornings you choose to show up for yourself, the times you forgive your mistakes, the moments you honor your energy instead of constantly bending to expectation.

Becoming the woman you used to dream of isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about aligning with who you’ve always been, your values, your intuition, your inner light. It’s in the small choices: pausing instead of rushing, speaking your truth even when it’s uncomfortable, prioritizing rest as much as productivity. It’s the self-compassion you practice, the boundaries you honor, the courage you cultivate to step into your own power.

Here’s the magic: when you allow yourself to become her, you inspire others to do the same. You don’t just transform your life…you light the way for everyone around you!
