Summary

Hey, sis. Let this episode be your reminder that the work you’re doing—yes, even the small stuff—is working. Whether it’s pausing to take a deep breath, setting a boundary, or speaking to yourself with more kindness, these small shifts are creating big changes.

Today, I’m sharing personal reflections and encouragement to remind you that you are making progress, even when it doesn’t feel obvious. I’ll talk about a recent experience where I noticed my own growth, celebrate the small wins that often go unnoticed, and offer journal prompts to help you reflect on your own journey.

The work is working, sis—so keep going. Let’s celebrate the small victories together.
