🪄📝What We Run From Is What Holds Us Back: Reclaiming Your Power to Rise
Hi Lola babe. Welcome back to our blog page and welcome into a new topic🤭If this is your first time here—> we encourage you to read on previous topics as it all comes together on how to turn inward and take care of ourselves so we can reach our highest potential. If you are back and all caught up, grab a cup of tea/coffee, lay back, take notes/ time to reflect and let’s dive right in:
💭There’s a version of you that exists on the other side of fear, distraction, and resistance — and she is powerful beyond measure. But before you can fully step into that version, you must first stop running.
We don’t often realize it, but the very things we avoid are the ones that are quietly holding us back from reaching our highest potential. As women building bold, authentic, and purpose-filled lives, it’s time we start facing these truths head-on. Let’s break them down together — not to judge ourselves, but to free ourselves.
1. Feedback — Whether It’s Good or Bad
Feedback isn’t an attack. It’s information. Yet how often do we avoid it? We fear the sting of critique or become addicted to praise, letting either one define us. But real growth lives in that sacred space between both — the ability to listen, reflect, and take only what serves us. When we stop running from feedback and start receiving it with openness, we unlock doors to clarity, improvement, and confidence.
—>Let feedback be your mirror, not your prison.
2. Solitude and Honest Self-Reflection
It’s easy to keep ourselves distracted — always busy, always in motion — so we don’t have to sit with our truths. But the most powerful transformations begin in solitude. When we dare to look inward with honesty, without judgment, we begin to notice the patterns, wounds, and limiting beliefs that have been steering our lives.This is where the magic begins: not by fixing yourself, but by understanding yourself. Then, with compassion, you can adjust. Grow. Rise.
3. Comparison with Others on Their Own Path
Comparison is a thief — of joy, peace, and focus. When we measure our progress against someone else’s timeline, we lose sight of our own path. Their success is not your failure. Their pace is not your standard.
Your journey is uniquely yours. You are not behind. You are exactly where you are meant to be. Turn the comparison into inspiration, and then turn inward to keep building your own beautiful narrative.
4. A Grateful Heart for the Hard Seasons
When life gets heavy, it’s tempting to retreat into overwhelm, frustration, or defeat. But every challenge carries a seed of wisdom. Every trial shapes the woman you’re becoming. Gratitude is not ignoring the pain — it’s recognizing the purpose within it. It’s saying: This is hard, but it’s helping me grow. When you meet adversity with a grateful heart, you take your power back.
5. The Need to Rest Without Guilt
We’ve been conditioned to believe we must constantly hustle to be worthy — always producing, performing, perfecting. But that’s a lie that leads straight to burnout.Rest is not weakness. It is fuel. Your body, your mind, and your soul need pauses to thrive. Stillness isn’t lazy. It’s sacred. Give yourself permission to rest. You do not need to earn it. You are already enough.
6. The Power of Continuous Learning
Growth doesn’t stop at a certain age or milestone — it is a lifelong commitment. The most empowered women are those who stay curious. They read. They listen. They ask questions. They surround themselves with people who stretch their thinking and expand their hearts.
Whether through books, podcasts, mentors, or simple conversations — keep learning. Keep reaching. Wisdom is all around you, and it’s waiting to guide you to the next level of your evolution.
Final Thoughts: Come Home to Yourself
Every time you run from feedback, solitude, gratitude, rest, or learning, you run further from your power. But every time you choose to face these things — with courage, softness, and honesty — you come back home to the truth of who you are.
You don’t need to become someone else. You only need to stop hiding from yourself.
Believe in your ability to rise, to shift, to shine. Fully. Boldly. Unapologetically.
Because the world needs what only you can offer — and your highest self is waiting.
👯♀️✨To all the women on their journey: You are not alone. And you are more powerful than you know. Keep going. 💫
