Hiya ,

There’s this idea that once you’re really aligned, things won’t feel scary anymore. That the fear will fall away and be replaced by full confidence and clarity.

But more often than not, the fear doesn’t disappear — you just learn how to carry it differently.

You can feel fear and still know it’s the right next step.
You can feel grief and still be excited for what’s ahead.
You can feel uncertain and still deeply grounded in yourself.

You don’t have to wait to feel fearless to move forward. You just have to learn how to move with yourself — without needing the fear to go away first.

That’s what emotional maturity looks like. It’s not choosing either/or. It’s making space for both — and still honoring what’s true for you.

If it feels tender this week, that’s okay. You’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just stretching into something new.

Try this this week:
Name two things you’re feeling at once — and remind yourself that both can be true, and both can be held at the same time.

💌 WITH LOVE, DOMINIQUE
