💭 The old me would've called this lazy…

Heyyyy Reader 💖

If you would’ve told my 23-year-old self that one day I’d be laying around in the middle of the day—without guilt—I would’ve laughed. Or panicked. 😬 Or powered through just to prove I was still "that girl."

Back then, rest felt like weakness. Like slowing down meant I didn’t want it bad enough. Like pausing would mean falling behind.

But here’s what I know now: the only thing I was falling behind on… was peace.

I was overworking, overhelping, and calling it purpose. But Boo, I wasn’t operating from power—I was operating from pressure.

💕 The gag is… rest isn’t lazy. It’s legacy. And the version of me who used to brag about being booked and busy? She didn’t know any better. But I do now.

Now, I rest because God says I’m worthy of rest—not because I’m worn out. I don't have to earn His blessings or His grace. He freely offers those things to me.

And that shift changed everything Reader.

💖 That’s why I created tools like the Mental Reset Guide. So women like us can unlearn the lies hustle culture fed us and build a rhythm that actually feels good. Not just on Sundays—but every dang day Suga.
