Receiving Support

Last night my tank was low. I was emptied out. I felt weak. Social media was draining me and I was starting to get into comparison mode. It’s easy to look at other women and compare or to judge them as hard as I judge myself. But then something shifted. A dear friend texted me and said “I had to pull my car over because this message was so strong. Sara, you are holding space for so many people, but who is holding space for you? Who is supporting you?” Her message cracked my heart open. Because I’ve been so busy helping others, I hadn't stopped to help myself. Sound familiar? It's so easy for us, especially as women, to fall into this trap of tending to everyone else’s needs before our own. So here’s what I did about it:

✨I put a call out to my sisters from my coaching program and secured 3 coaching sessions this week
✨I reminded myself that I just joined a mastermind with the brilliant @the_emotional_dominatrix
✨I called a friend and she held space while I vented
✨I pieced through all these feels with Alex while he held space for my unraveling

I met with my sister coach yesterday @thevalerieschrader and this powerful witch knew exactly what to do with me. She had the pussified RX. She was ready with a playlist and she held space while I unraveled my own shit, my ancestors shit, generations past. She called in my dad’s spirit and his ancestors. Suddenly I felt so supported. So guided. So loved up on.

Everything shifted. Where earlier in the day, I was looking at IG like a competition, I then scrolled thru the same exact people and thought wow any one of these women would drop everything and be there for me if I asked. Suddenly sisterhood felt abundant and energizing instead of draining and toxic to my mental health.

I say all this because WE WERE NOT MEANT TO DO THIS ALONE. So get yourself supported. With val, with me, find your person. Who is going to hold space for you, babe? 🖤
