Absolutely alongside you as an ambitious softie. In fact my current intention for today, and possibly the year incoming is to be unapologetically myself. But not in the way of 'orher people tell me how to be unapologetically myself by dancing on camera or saying spicy shit' but in a way that I actually do what feels right for me whether it adheres to any of the rules or expectations that are not written for me. Speaking my truth that is often overtly loving and a little awkward. Sharing things that may not even make sense to me yet because I'm excited about knowing something new in my body. Allowing my pace to be both slow and fast, when each feel right to me. Thank you for sharing a little of your heart with us ✨
Did I write this??? Lol... Absolutely relate to alllll of this. Especially these parts:
"Underneath my Girlbossery was a woman so desperate to know where she fit in, that she would contort herself into whatever shape would give her a digestible identity."
I had NO boundaries with every job/boss. Major people pleaser, overachieving perfectionist.
"I received the long-overdue ADHD and cPTSD diagnosis lingering from the childhood I thought I could outrun with my performance of productivity."
Got my same diagnoses in 2021 at age 44!
"She still pops in now and then, but she’s much harder to access now that I’m actively unmasking from the song and dance of productivity for productivity’s sake."
I love this and related to a lot of it. I keep telling my
Inner over achieved whom is never satisfied that we can live a life fueled with peace. Action and peace can coexist because they do, inside of me and many other humans like us 🥰 what time is the Monday writing session?
yes! it’s that all-or-nothing thinking that makes us think we have to go 24/7 turbo mode, right? @Writing Club is at 9a pst/ 12 est every monday and if you go over to the about page there’s all the info you should need :) Hope to see you there!!
Love your writing style 💖 you’ve got a talent for storytelling. Though I’m assuming you’ve also done a lot of studying from the greats too. Who’s your inspiration?
Thank you!!! wow that means more than you know. I haven’t been writing that much, but I’ve always loved it. I read A LOT. One of my biggest inspirations is Nora Ephron — she has a way of cutting straight to the honesty of things without it being too heavy. Anne Lamott is the same category too.

Yep, same here.

Thanks Anna ❤️ I’m usually working Monday mornings, but if that ever isn’t happening I’ll stop by the group.

P.s. Like Dawn said, “Did I write this??” 😄

Haven’t been writing much?! Well then 🫡 even more respect for your raw talent. It’ll just keep getting better ✨
Thank you for sharing your soft side. We all need that authentic version of you. Love your work!
