The Work of Becoming

There comes a moment when the life you are living no longer feels like it belongs to you. You may not be able to explain it, even to the people closest to you. But somewhere deep inside, there’s a stirring. A quiet knowing that the story you’ve been handed is not the story you’re meant to keep repeating.

For me, it wasn’t a single spark. It was a slow burn. It showed up in questions I didn’t want to ask out loud. In the gap between what I was told to believe and what I actually felt in my soul and knew in my heart. In the heaviness of living a life that no longer fits. It was uncomfortable. It was lonely. And yet, it was also the beginning of something powerful.

Becoming is not about abandoning where we come from. It is about listening for what is truest in us and choosing to honor it. It asks us to move past fear, to trust that every piece of our story has shaped us, and to DECIDE that fear will not keep us bound to what no longer serves our future. Our making does not end where we began.

If you feel that same stirring, don’t rush past it. Let yourself feel it. You are not behind. That restlessness inside you is not proof of failure, it is an invitation. You are being called to grow. And growth will stretch you. It will be messy. It will demand grit when everything in you wants to give up. It will ask for patience when you want answers now. It will call for courage when fear tells you to stay small. And it will always come down to this: one choice at a time. Action. Stepping into the unknown, trusting that you were made for more.

The work of BECOMING is not quick. But it is meaningful. Every step you take toward alignment matters. Every CHOICE is a brick laid in the foundation of the life you were born to create. And with time, you will see what I have seen: the dreams that matter are not handed to us. They are claimed
