Take a deep breath in,
Let it fill your lungs and gently release.
You are here after everything you've been through,
After every blow,
Every betrayal,
Every moment you thought you couldn't take one more step,
You are still here.
That alone is evidence of your strength.
You are not broken.
You are not defeated.
You are in the fire,
Yes,
But you are becoming forged steel.
You are in the middle of something hard,
A dissolution that feels more like a war than a separation.
There are people trying to undermine you,
Gaslight you,
Paint you as the villain in a story where you've been the one protecting what matters most.
You're fighting for your children's well-being,
For your own sanity,
And for a future that feels impossibly far away.
The cruelty is real.
The manipulation is real.
The exhaustion of having to prove what should be obvious,
That you're capable,
Trustworthy,
That your instincts about the people you love are sound.
It's crushing.
And some days you wonder if you have anything left to give.
I see you.
I see how tired you are.
I see how much you're carrying.
And I want you to know,
You're not imagining this.
Your perception is not distorted.
You are seeing clearly,
And that clarity is your power.
Right now,
I want you to feel something.
Not the fear,
Not the overwhelm.
I want you to feel the faceness within you.
That core of steel inside you that has made every hard decision,
Taken every right action,
And stood up when it would have been easier to collapse.
Place your hand on your heart.
Feel the beat of your heart.
This is the rhythm of a warrior.
You have walked through fire to protect the people you love.
You have trusted your instincts even when they were questioned.
You have stood in the truth even when others tried to rewrite it.
That is not weakness.
That is power.
Say this to yourself.
I am not a victim.
I am a force.
I am not helpless.
I am strategic.
I am not collapsing.
I am rising.
I know it's hard to see right now,
But this will end.
Not tomorrow,
Not next week,
But it will end.
And when it does,
You will look back and see that every ounce of strength you summoned,
Every boundary you held,
Every moment you refused to be gaslit into doubting yourself,
You will see that it mattered.
There is sunlight at the edge of this.
A life where you wake up without dread.
Where your nervous system isn't braced for the next attack.
Where your children are safe and you are free.
Where you are building something beautiful in the work that lights you up.
Relationships that nourish you.
And a rhythm of days that feels like yours.
Close your eyes and see it.
Not as a fantasy,
But as a timeline that already exists.
See yourself there.
Calm.
Confident.
Thriving.
Building your vision with steady hands.
Laughing with people who see you clearly and love you fiercely.
Living in a reality where this nightmare is behind you and you are whole.
This future is not waiting for you to earn it.
It's waiting for you to choose it.
And every time you refuse to shrink,
Every time you trust yourself,
Every time you keep going,
You are choosing it.
Here's what I need you to hear.
You can trust yourself.
Your instincts have been right all along.
When you knew something was wrong,
You were right.
When you acted to protect,
You were right.
When you held firm,
Even though others questioned you,
You were right.
You are not too much.
You have not lost your mind.
You are not overreacting.
You are awake.
And that clarity,
That refusal to be gaslit into doubting what you know,
Is your greatest asset.
Don't let anyone take that away from you.
When the voices of doubt creep in,
Whether from others or from the exhausted parts of yourself,
Return here.
To this knowing.
I trust myself.
I see clearly.
I am capable.
I am building something powerful and no one can stop me.
Here's your practice for the hard days.
The days when the attacks come,
When the manipulation escalates,
When you feel like you can't take one more thing.
You remember this.
You were not here to be liked.
You were not here to keep the peace.
You are here to protect what matters and build what's yours.
You move like a warrior.
Strategic.
Focused.
Unstoppable.
You don't waste energy defending yourself to people who will never see you clearly.
You don't explain yourself to those who are committed to misunderstanding you.
You keep your eyes on the outcome.
Safety for those you love,
Freedom for yourself and the life you're building on the other side of this.
When you need courage,
You tap into this.
I have already survived what I thought would break me.
I am stronger than I knew and I am not stopping until I am free.
Take one more deep breath in and release.
Feel the weight of your body.
Feel the ground beneath you.
You are still here and that means you are winning.
The future you're dreaming of,
The one where you're safe,
Thriving,
Building your vision,
Living in peace,
Is not a fantasy.
It's a timeline that's already yours.
You're walking toward it with every choice you make and nothing can stop you from reaching it.
May you move through these final battles with the fierceness of someone who knows she cannot be defeated.
May you trust yourself completely even when others try to shake that knowing.
May you see the sunlight at the edge of this darkness and feel the relief of the life that's already waiting for you.
May you remember that you are not alone in this fight.
You are held by something larger,
Guided by something wiser,
And destined for something far more beautiful than what you're leaving behind.
You are a warrior.
You are building your empire and you will rise.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes.
With your hand on your heart,
Allow yourself to accept these truths and go conquer your world.
