The little girl is still making decisions

Jun 05, 2026 12:01 pm

I want to ask you a question.


, have you ever found yourself reacting to something and thought:

"Why does this affect me so much?"


Why does a delayed text feel bigger than it should?

Why does rejection linger for days?

Why is it so difficult to ask for what you need?

Why do you keep attracting people who give just enough attention to keep you hoping, but never enough to make you feel secure?


For many women, the answer has nothing to do with weakness.

It has everything to do with wounds.


Particularly the wounds we carry from our relationship with our father.

Whether he was absent, emotionally unavailable, unpredictable, critical, overwhelmed, or simply unable to give what you needed, those experiences often become the blueprint through which we learn about love, worth, safety, trust, and belonging.


And the truth is this :

The little girl who was trying to make sense of those experiences is often still influencing the choices the adult woman makes today.


Not because you're broken.

Not because you've failed.


But because unresolved pain has a way of quietly writing the rules by which we live.

Is this resonating with you ?


For years I've watched women do extraordinary things while carrying invisible burdens:

The burden of feeling not enough.

The burden of over-giving.

The burden of people-pleasing.

The burden of believing they have to earn love.

The burden of shrinking themselves to keep others comfortable.


That is why I created something new.


Not another workbook.

Not another set of affirmations.


But a guided healing journey.


A place to tell the truth.

A place to grieve.

A place to rage.

A place to reclaim yourself.

A place to transform old wounds into quiet power.


Over the next few days, I'll share more about it and why I believe it may be one of the most important things I've created.


Until then, I want you to sit with one question:

What did the little girl inside you learn about love that the woman you are today is still trying to unlearn?


With warmth,

P.S. Healing doesn't begin when we have all the answers.

It begins when we're willing to ask honest questions.
