Chapter 1: Navigating My Emotional Landscape

Good morning to everyone; I hope you are all doing well and feeling uplifted. Today, I come to you with a heavy heart, as I find myself feeling quite fatigued and weary. Despite my efforts to remain motivated and empowered, this week has presented significant challenges.

Typically, I’m the person who appears to have everything in order from start to finish. However, today, I’m confronting feelings of exhaustion, fatigue, and restlessness. I needed to vocalize these emotions as I reflect on my life and the current circumstances surrounding me.

I have an overwhelming sense that I’m not fulfilling the purpose that I believe God has set for me. My calling seems to involve guiding women and girls toward becoming the best versions of themselves. Although I run a business and coach other women, I still sense that something essential is absent from my journey.

What could this missing piece be? That’s the million-dollar question. Deep down, I know I'm not fully engaging in my calling. I can feel it in my soul—a critical element seems to be lacking. Is it possible that I haven’t fully healed from past traumas, or am I simply feeling stalled in my career and meant to take a different path?

I find myself in need of assistance because I don’t want to remain at this crossroads any longer. Externally, I may appear composed, yet internally, I recognize a void that needs addressing. What is this void, and how can I mend it? How can I move forward? It’s challenging for me to confront this because I've always been seen as the one who has it all figured out.

Am I alone in feeling this way, or is there anyone else who shares these sentiments but hasn’t voiced them? I view this platform as an extension of my family, allowing me to share without the fear of judgment or unwarranted criticism. For about a month now, I’ve been grappling with this feeling of being stuck.

Usually, I embody the role of the strong friend, but today, I find myself in a more vulnerable state. It feels liberating to express these feelings, albeit difficult to admit. If you also feel immobilized and would like to join a weekly newsletter and sharing forum where we can discuss our thoughts and emotions in a safe, judgment-free environment, please reach out.

I aspire to create a space for open dialogue about the tough subjects we often hesitate to discuss, free from concern about backlash or others' opinions. I’m eager to hear your suggestions and ideas, and I’m looking for two or three individuals who are interested in helping to initiate this project. The sooner we can establish this support network, the better. Everyone deserves a safe haven to vent and share openly.

Please keep me in your prayers, and I will do the same for you as we continue to move forward and share our narratives. Don’t forget to check in on your strong friends; even the resilient ones can feel weak at times and may need a lifeline. Consider my proposal and keep me updated.
