Hey sis 👋🏾

​
Life’s been a little chaotic on my end lately.

And whenever things feel overwhelming, I notice I go into “organize everything” mode—emails, photos, old videos. It’s like putting things in order outside of me helps calm what’s going on inside of me.

While I was doing that, I listened back to a podcast episode I recorded about imposter syndrome… and something really landed.

We talk about imposter syndrome like it’s just a work thing.
​But self-doubt doesn’t stay in one category of your life.

It shows up in your relationships.
Your leadership.
Your decisions.
The way you see yourself.

And during chaotic seasons… that voice gets louder.

That’s why I’m big on what I call a folder of receipts.

Proof.

Proof that you’re showing up. Proof that you’re making an impact.
Proof that you are that girl—even when you don’t feel like it.

Because self-trust isn’t the default.
It’s a muscle.

And every time you challenge your self-doubt with evidence—real moments, real feedback, real impact—you strengthen it.

You don’t build self-trust by thinking differently.
You build it by reminding yourself of what’s already true.

And sadly … The inner critic doesn’t just disappear.
That’s not how your brain is wired.

Your brain is wired for survival—not expansion.
Always for protection—not always for growth.

So that voice?
It’s going to show up.

The work is learning how not to let it lead.
And that’s where your receipts come in.

They interrupt the narrative. They bring you back to truth. They remind you of who you are when your mind tries to rewrite the story.

So if this is hitting for you…
​Reply and tell me one of your receipts.

The one that reminds you of your power.
The one that proves you’re that girl.

And if you’re a healthcare girly who’s been carrying a lot and is ready to be in a room with other women who get it…

Reply RETREAT and I’ll send you the details for the next one.

​
​

And if you’re not in healthcare—stay close!

I’m working on something for you too. 😉

Can’t wait to read all those receipts because I know y’all are that girl!
