The Truth Will Set You Free—But First It Will Shake You
I love a glow-up story—the “before and after” and the redemption. But what we don’t talk about enough is what happens in the middle, the part where you realize that sometimes… you were the problem.
This is what I’ve learned:
✨ Empowering women isn’t just about telling them they’re strong.
✨ It’s about helping them hold themselves accountable.
✨ It’s about creating safe spaces for women to say, “Here’s where I messed up,” without shame, but with honesty.
Because there’s power in speaking your truth. Even when that truth makes you the villain in your own story.
The Most Powerful Glow Up Starts with the Ugliest Truth
We all want to talk about how we were hurt. But can we also talk about the times we did the hurting? Maybe it was pride. Maybe it was fear. Maybe it was ego, jealousy, control, or insecurity. Whatever it was, you don’t have to run from it. You can face it.
Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is stop fighting your demons… and start listening to them. Sit down with them. Ask for their names. Is it guilt? Is it shame? Is it fear of being seen? Once you name it, you can tame it. And once you stop lying to yourself, you can start healing yourself.
Sit With It. Own It. Then Grow From It.
I won’t lie: looking in the mirror and seeing the version of yourself that caused damage? That’s not easy. But that moment, the one where you stop saying, “They were wrong,” and start asking, “Where did I go wrong?” is where the real glow up begins. Here are three points that have guided me towards this mindset:
- Healing lies in self-reflection.
- Growth starts with self-honesty.
- Recovery happens when you finally stop performing & start confronting.
You Are Still Worthy—Even After the Mess
Let me remind you of this: you’re still worthy of healing, even if you caused pain. You are still allowed to evolve. You’re still capable of softness. You are still deserving of love. Owning your truth doesn’t make you broken. It makes you brave. Brave women heal loudly!
