You can show up for work. Meet every deadline.
Take care of everyone. You can Smile when people ask how you’re doing and still be hurting.

Sometimes trauma doesn’t look like falling apart. Rather, it looks like overachieving, staying busy, being fiercely independent, taking care of everyone else, and never allowing yourself to slow down. Did you know that productivity can become a survival response when staying busy keeps you from having to feel what hurts. Right! And because you’re functioning, people may assume you’re okay because you’ve conditioned them to “she’s got it.”

So, this is just a little note to say ‘functioning and healing are not the same thing.’

You deserve a life where you don’t have to constantly perform strength just to feel safe, valuable, or worthy! Healing can look like learning to rest without guilt, asking for help, allowing yourself to feel, and discovering that your worth was never dependent on how much you could carry.

💚 You can be successful and still need support.
💚 You can be strong and still be tired.
💚 You can be functioning and still deserve healing.

Choose you too!

Healing does not require permission from the people who hurt you, left you, misunderstood you, or chose differently than you hoped. You are allowed to heal anyway. Let ‘em know!
