I’m Not for Everybody—And That’s the Point

For a long time, I tried to be digestible. Palatable. Easy to love. I watered myself down in rooms that couldn’t hold the full flavor of my spirit. I apologized for being too much and then resented myself for not being enough. But here’s what I’ve learned: being liked by everyone is not the goal—being aligned with myself is.


The moment I stopped trying to be everyone's favorite and started being my own, everything shifted. The friends who were only comfortable with a muted version of me drifted. The clients who didn’t value my truth stopped booking. And for a while, that felt like loss.


But what I didn’t see then was that I was making room.


Making room for people who don't flinch when I speak with fire. For love that doesn’t require me to shrink. For purpose that demands my full presence, not my performance.


I am not for everybody. I’m for the ones who are ready to go deep. The ones who want healing and humor, light and shadow, love and boundaries. I’m for the ones who talk to God with their feet in the grass and their soul in their throat. I’m for the ones who know that truth is medicine—even when it burns a little.


So if you’ve been shrinking, dimming, or second-guessing your bigness, this is your permission to stop. Let them say you’ve changed. Let them say you’re different. Let them misunderstand your glow-up.


You’re not here to be understood by everyone. You’re here to be YOU. Fully, wildly, unapologetically.


Let the rest fall away.
