The truth is that some of the most important breakthroughs won't come with applause or validation. They'll come in moments when you choose to keep going despite uncertainty, when you pick yourself back up after disappointment, or when you keep believing in something, even when it's hard to see the finish line.

We’ve all been there. One unexpected change, one hard conversation, one bad day, and suddenly our brain starts spiraling: What if...?

When we stop being so hard on ourselves, when we allow ourselves to rest and let go of unrealistic expectations, we create space for joy.
