My husband and I spent the last 10 months getting used to life as empty nesters. At first, we weren’t sure how to be in it. The house was quiet. The rhythm was different. It felt unfamiliar, even awkward. Not because we don’t like each other, but because we were in a new season, and […]

One belief. That’s all it took to shift the energy in my home.
Not the mess. Not the chaos. Not the kids.
The belief.

Every time you pause, guilt shows up.
It was supposed to be a day off.
But now you’re deep-cleaning the kitchen at 10AM, angry and exhausted.
The real problem isn’t the dishes.
It’s that rest doesn’t feel safe.
You try to pause, but your body jolts into motion.
You organize. You tidy. You check tasks that were never urgent.
And then… you snap.
At your partner. At your kid. At the dog.
Not because of them.
Because of the Tripwire Emotion.
The one that says:
“You don’t get to rest unless you’ve earned it.”
This is what happens when high-achievers tie their worth to what they do instead of who they are.
Tripwire Emotions aren’t weakness,
they’re signs something deeper is asking to be seen.
If this hit you, tag a friend who needs the reminder that rest isn’t a reward. Or drop a comment and say “that’s me.” I see you.

You’re a great coach. But every time you try to sell… something shifts.
Your voice gets shaky.
You rush through the offer.
You lower the price before they even ask.
You’re not alone.
That’s because you’ve dropped into your Social Self—
The part of you that wants to be liked, approved of, validated.
But you’re not there to be liked.
You’re there to lead.
Stay in the frame. Stay in service. Stay in the coaching seat.
Want to sell without squirming?

You smile. You help. You stay agreeable. But inside? You’re exhausted.
Your friend asks for a quick favor. And without thinking, you say yes.
Even though you’re tired.
Even though you don’t want to.
You say yes—because you always do.
Because part of you still fears what happens if you say no.
That’s not just people-pleasing.
It’s your False Self:
The version of you that learned being helpful = being loved.
But here’s the thing…
The False Self might protect you—but it also binds you.
You get praised for being easy.
But inside? You feel invisible.
You don’t need to keep sacrificing yourself to keep the peace.
There’s a truer version of you beneath the performance.
And she’s allowed to have needs, take up space, and say no.
If this hits, share it with a friend who also needs to hear this.
