A Soft Reminder...
You’re not broken.
You were shaped.
Shaped by silence.
Shaped by shame dressed up as virtue.
Shaped by rules that made you question your voice, your body, your very being.
And if you’re here, reading this —
It means something in you is already waking up.
💔 I Know That Ache
Last newsletter, I shared my personal story.
I grew up believing my worth was in my sacrifice,
That obedience was love, and
That needing less made me more “holy.”
So, I gave. I served. Eventually, I didn’t know where my gifts stopped
And obligation began.
But the unraveling eventually came —
and with it, the remembering.
Sometimes the remembering is the hard part.
Now? I’m no longer performing peace.
I’m practicing sovereignty.
And I’m building spaces where women like us can breathe again.

🌸 3 Ways to Choose Yourself Today
(Even if it feels scary. Even if you were taught not to.)
1. Whisper your own name like a prayer.
Say it softly. Out loud. Like you matter — because you do.
2. Say one sacred “no.”
No to the thing that drains you. No to the guilt that whispers you should.
Let that “no” be your nervous system’s first breath of the day.
3. Ask: “What would I do if I trusted myself?”
Then… just listen. No pressure to act.
Because even the asking is an act of rebellion.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Let’s walk it together — in The Mystical Meadows.
🌀 Art ritual you can do right now 🌀
🌀 Grab a pen and write:
“Where do I still ask permission?”
🌀 Then, with your non-dominant hand, draw a spiral — loose, wild, unapologetic. Breathe with it.
Until the next time I slide into your inbox - Remember you were never meant to shrink so others could breathe easier! #debbyvibes
