Episode 497: Should

Today was quieter and heavier than I expected. Yesterday’s 86-cent moment cracked something open in me, and I’m still processing how a whole year’s worth of strength can collapse around something so small. I’m grateful… but gratitude feels complicated when you’re telling yourself you should be grateful instead of feeling it naturally.I rested, read, ate leftover birthday pizza and cake, and let myself slow down enough to feel what I’ve been avoiding. I questioned my confidence, my work, my programs—wondering if I’m even the right person to teach anything when I still feel broken sometimes. But maybe that’s exactly why I’m the right person.Today I didn’t produce or prove anything. I just let myself exist. And maybe that was the medicine.
