Becoming the Woman You Lost (Poem)

She was the strong one, held it all,
The one they’d always and forever call.
She gave her time, her heart, her light,
And held her loved ones together tight.

She dried their tears and calmed their fears,
Showed up for them through all the years.
But somewhere in the endless cost,
She woke up and found that she was lost.

Now slowly, gently, she will choose
The parts of her she cannot lose.
And piece by piece, through joy and pain,
She’ll find the woman she was again.

This time she won’t be last or least —
She’ll stand up strong for her own peace.

 

 

Keepin’ It Real with Dr. La

Question: Why do I give too much too soon in relationships?

Answer: Because somewhere along your journey, you learned that love had to be earned.

For many women, this doesn't just start in adulthood- it starts in childhood. When love, attention, or acceptance felt inconsistent, you may have adapted by becoming "The Giver." The one who shows up first, gives the mosts, fixes the most, and loves the hardest...hoping that this time, it will be enough to be chosen.

Giving too much too soon isn't because your're "too much." It's because you were taught-directly or indirectly-that who you are by yourself might not be enough.

So you overextend.

You overgive. 

You overprove.

But real love doesn't require you to exhaust yourself to recive it.

Part of your healing journey is learning this:

You don't have to give everything upfront to be worthy of someone staying.

You're already enough-without performing for love and/or acceptance. 

 

Gaining Your Power Back: Where It Begins (Words of Wisdom)

 

This journey isn't about becoming someone new...

It's about returning to who you were before you felt the need to prove your worth.

At the beginning of gaining your power back, it looks like this:

  • Saying "let me think about it" instead of immediately saying yes
  • Pausing before you pour into others
  • Noticing when you feel drained instead of fulfilled
  • Choosing yoursel-even when it feels uncomfortable

Power isn't loud in the beginning.

Sometimes, it's a quiet decision to no longer abandon yourself.

And that's where everything starts to change.

 

A Journal Moment: Your Becoming

Take a moment for yourself...

What do you want the rest of your journey to look like-for YOU?

Not for who needs you.

Not for who expects from you.

Not for who benefits from you.

But FOR YOU!

What to journal:

  • The woman you want to become...
  • The peace you want to feel...
  • The boundaries you're ready to experience...

Let this be the moment you start choosing you-on purpose.
