We interact and engage with people every day… but how many actually know you…Most people don’t really know me, not in the full sense.
They might see the Realtor. The creative. The woman hosting events, building communities, or helping others rise. They might see the traveler, the one who somehow blends spirituality with business and still keeps it human.
But the truth is..just like social media.. most people see what I choose to share.
What they don’t always see are the years I spent learning how to rebuild | emotionally, mentally, and physically.
They don’t see the nights I had to start over, or the quiet moments I’ve sat with heartbreak, loss, and uncertainty. They don’t see the years of learning how to stop apologizing for being too much or not enough.
The Hard Truth
The hardest truth I’ve learned and maybe the most freeing is that people will always have opinions. Some will love your light, others will misunderstand it.
And for a long time, I lived trying to manage how I was perceived.
Was I professional enough?
Was I too emotional?
Did I sound “spiritual” or “corporate” or “creative” enough to fit in the room I wanted to walk into?
But what I’ve learned, what I continue to learn, is that the more you shape-shift to be understood, the further you drift from your truth, and at some point, that becomes too heavy to carry.
You start to crave peace more than validation.
You start to choose quiet over constant proving.
You start to realize that being misunderstood is better than being misplaced.
The Unusual Things About Me
Most people don’t know what I do… They know me for the activities, but the rhythm of energy in a space is great.. they don’t know what makes me upset, happy, or the details that make me unique.. I can find healing in travel. I can hold space for both ambition and stillness at the same time.
They don’t know that I’ve learned to move through life like water. Strong, flexible, and always finding a way forward, even through the cracks.
They don’t know that I’ve been the girl who rebuilt after hurricanes — literally and emotionally.
That I believe in divine timing.
That I can feel when a place holds a story.
And that I’ve learned to see life not as a straight line, but as a sailboat — where the wind, the waves, and the direction are all part of the same dance.
What Makes You, You
The truth is — the things that make you “unusual” are the things that make you you.
The contradictions, the quirks, the depths you’ve learned to hide — those are the parts that hold your magic.
We spend so much of our lives trying to fit in, when what we really crave is to be recognized.
Not for the role we play — but for the soul underneath it.
And that recognition starts with you.
When you stop apologizing for who you are.
When you stop editing yourself to be more digestible.
When you stop shrinking to make others comfortable.
That’s when your energy shifts.
That’s when your voice softens — not from doubt, but from peace.
That’s when you begin to attract people and opportunities that actually feel aligned.
Living Unapologetically
These days, I’ve stopped worrying about how I’m perceived.
I wear what I want.
I speak how I feel.
I build in my own rhythm.
And I’ve found that the people meant for me — in business, friendship, and love — don’t just accept that… they respect it.
So if you’ve ever felt too much, too bold, too emotional, too creative, too different — I want you to know that’s exactly where your beauty lies.
Not in your polish.
Not in your perfection.
But in your truth.
Because maybe the most unusual thing about you isn’t something to hide —
it’s something to honor.
💛
