Girl, let's talk about something that's been on my mind while I'm glued to the Olympics this past few days. You know what I'm seeing? Pure magic. But it's not just about the medals – it's about the power of self-love and self-trust. As a kid, I remember watching the Olympics and being in awe of Olympic athletes. They always looked so confident, so self-assured. Well, Sis, let me tell you – that self-trust is everything. Take Simone Biles, for example. Back in the 2020 Olympics, she shocked the world by stepping back due to the "twisties." But you know what? That was self-love in action. She trusted her body and mind enough to say, "Not today." We've got to applaud that. Then there's Sha'Carri Richardson. Remember how she didn't qualify for the 2020 Olympics after being suspended for cannabis use? She admitted struggling after her mother died. Girl, grief is hard, and we all find different ways to cope with that pain. But look at her now in 2024! She got the help she needed, trusted the process, and came back stronger than ever. Her words? "I am not back, I am better." Now that's a motto we can all live by! These women remind us that self-trust isn't just for Olympic athletes. It's for all of us. It's about listening to your body when it needs rest. It's about admitting when you need help and not being ashamed to get it. It's about picking yourself up after a setback and believing you can do better. So, my beautiful sisters, as we watch these incredible athletes over the next two weeks, let's remember to apply that Olympic-level self-love and self-trust to our own lives. Trust your gut, honor your needs, and never, ever give up on yourself. You might not be competing for a gold medal, but you're navigating life every day. And that, Sis, is its own kind of Olympics. So stand tall, trust yourself, and go for your personal gold. You've got this! Sis, I know we all struggle with self-doubt sometimes. If you're finding it hard to tap into that self-love and self-trust we've been talking about, remember you don't have to go it alone. If you need someone to talk to, to help you find your inner champion, I've got you. I have therapy slots available, and I'd be honored to support you on your journey to self-love. Because you deserve to shine just as bright as any Olympian – in your own unique way.
