You are not here to be everyone's favorite people-pleasing version of yourself. You’re here to be real, radiant, and unapologetically you.
\n
So why do we still feel so much fear when we dare to color outside the lines? Why does saying “no” feel like betrayal? Why does choosing joy over duty feel like we’re disappointing someone?
\n
The truth? You probably are disappointing someone. But guess what?
\n
They’ll survive. And you? You’ll finally start living.

Thank you A.J. from USA for your question this week!
\n
“How do I deal with the fear of disappointing others when I follow my own path?” You remind yourself: Disappointing others is not the same as betraying yourself. Read that again. Tattoo it on your heart. Set it as your lock screen. You were not born to be a human sacrifice for other people’s comfort.

Hey Rebel Soul,
Let’s have a little grown-ass woman truth talk: You are not here to be everyone's favorite people-pleasing version of yourself. You’re here to be real, radiant, and unapologetically you.
So why do we still feel so much fear when we dare to color outside the lines? Why does saying “no” feel like betrayal? Why does choosing joy over duty feel like we’re disappointing someone?
The truth? You probably are disappointing someone. But guess what?
They’ll survive. And you? You’ll finally start living.
