Today I get to live a life I totally love. Every day I get to live it and I get to choose it. Yesterday I got to do fabulous work, from my brain and from my heart. I got to be the therapist and the marketing manager. Today I get to work with my body. I get to be the lumberjack. I get to be whatever the f**k I want.
Tomorrow, I get to choose again.
It wasn’t always like this. For twenty years, I poured myself into a career that didn’t fill me, into a version of life that fit expectations but didn’t feel like mine. Like so many, I was bound by the patterns my nervous system had crafted in childhood. Patterns meant to keep me safe, but ones that also kept me small, disconnected, and stuck in ways I didn’t even recognize.
But then something shifted. Slowly at first, and then all at once. I chose to walk away. I chose to leave the familiar behind—the security of the life I knew, the roles I had mastered—to step into the unknown. I chose me.
It was terrifying and liberating in equal measure. And it was the best decision of my life.
Today, I get to live a life that sustains me, that fills me to the brim with joy and purpose. A life that nurtures healthy and loving relationships. A life where I’m privileged to share my gifts with the world, to help others find their own paths to freedom and fulfillment.
When I talk about freedom, I don’t mean the absence of responsibility or struggle. I mean the freedom to choose who I want to be, how I want to show up, and what I want to offer the world. It’s not about getting it right every time—it’s about knowing that every day, I get to decide again. I’m not bound by my past, by old fears or conditioning. I’m free to create a life that feels true to me.
This freedom didn’t just happen. It came from deep, uncomfortable work: untangling the stories and survival patterns woven into my body and my mind. It came from resting in the darkness, learning to honor the parts of myself I’d hidden or dismissed, and embracing the radical idea that I deserve a life that lights me up.
And the best part? This isn’t just about me. This freedom is available to you, too.
So, I’ll leave you with a question:
If you could choose again tomorrow, what would you choose?
Who would you be?
What life would you create?
The beautiful thing is—you can
