Mic Drop Moments:
“You don’t have to explain yourself to everyone, and you certainly don’t have to say yes to every ask. Saying ‘no’ can be one of the most loving things you do—for yourself and others.”
“If you’re always giving without receiving, it’s like running on an empty tank. Building boundaries is essential so you can support others without sacrificing your own energy.”
“Trust your intuition. Sometimes, the answer isn’t about doing more—it’s about knowing when it’s not your moment to help and respecting that as part of your own growth.”
