Growing Into the Woman You Want to Be

Now I am going to start by saying that I am not perfect. I still make mistakes even to this day and I am still learning more about myself every day. The type of woman I am working towards being is one that can be the best version of herself for me, for my child, and for my partner. I am still going to make mistakes getting there but I try my hardest to learn from my mistakes.

I feel like every day I am getting one step closer to being that woman that moves through life with grace, clarity, and unshakable confidence.

Growth is not linear - it's more like a pause, a rewind, and then a push forward. It has ups and downs and sometimes it can feel like it's going backwards. In my experience I always felt like there were seasons of regression before breakthrough happens.

This journey of becoming the woman you want to be is about choosing healing over harshness, softness over shame, and strength over self-doubt. It’s about letting go of the pressure to have it all figured out and instead embracing the beauty of evolving — even if no one else sees it happening.

I like to take a step back and look in. Take a look from the outside and see which aspects of my life I can grow, which areas of my personal relationships I can grow, and do the people that I surround myself with help make me a better person.

It’s not always easy to admit, but the people you spend your time with influence your growth more than you might realize.

If you spend time with people who gossip, chances are you’ll fall into that mindset. If you’re surrounded by people who prioritize wellness and peace, you’re more likely to move in that direction too. If your circle is constantly chasing the party scene, you’ll probably end up

doing the same.

So becoming the woman you want to be also means choosing your circle intentionally. Surround yourself with people who reflect your values, who lift you up, and who encourage your evolution. The right people will support your growth — not stifle it.
