I know what it’s like to be left out by your family. I know how it feels to have a pull so deep inside drawing you back, a voice so loud that screams “You can’t do this, you must be loyal. They are blood!”
I know how uncomfortable it is to pave a path of your own, without support, encouragement or an ally. I know the doubts, fears + insecurities that creep in as you place one foot in front of the other, walking away from the life + people you have always known.
I know the pain that is felt when your closest people call you names + spread lies + rumors about you for being “too good” or “better than.” I know the ache of the hole left inside when you grieve at night, dreaming of the way it could have been, should have been.
I also know healing. I know freedom. I know what it feels like to wake one morning, and feel proud of the life you have created for yourself. I know chosen friends who are like family; those who support and encourage and love without condition. I know safety, security and confidence that grew over time. I know faith, believing without seeing. Trusting without knowing. Stepping forward, again and again, because going back was no longer an option.
Sweet friend, if you’re the black sheep that is what I’ve described here, know you’re not alone. This doesn’t make you bad, broken, selfish or not loyal. This makes you human. It means you have hope.
That vision you have for yourself? The one that is stable, respectful, peaceful + free? It is possible. Keep dreaming. Keep believing. Keep creating. Make it happen. Keep going.
If you are in need of a resource to support you, I have created an updated workbook titled “WHO I AM” that can serve as a guide as you continue on. All of those on my email list will get it once it publishes. Sign up for it through the subscribe link in my bio.
Courses on Boundaries, Heal from Codependency, Stewardship, and Rising Daughters are all available immediately for access to every active DYW member. Not only do you receive the self-paced video courses, but you get access to a monthly masterclass (including all the previous ones), bonus content, and email support with me.
