The real flex isn’t “becoming successful”.

It’s not making anything mean anything.

It’s being so grounded in yourself that you can operate from a place of radical non-attachment — to “success”, “failure”, “rejection”, “celebration”, and everything in-between.

It’s living from a grounded, resolute, no-matter-what energy.

It’s knowing — and TRUSTING — that you are and will always be okay.

Not for anyone else.
Not for social media.
Not for the sake of “seeming to be a certain way”.

For YOU.

Because this is always for you.

Your life is for you.

What would it be like to experience every single day from that place?

I'm going to switch gears for a moment. Today, I want to speak about trust.

I want to speak about what happens when trust breaks down.

And yes… I feel compelled to speak.

Today, I feel compelled to use my voice — and it feels so f*cking good.
