Maya, thank you for writing this. I am so glad you're in a safe, happy place now. You are one of the kindest, smartest people I've ever met. We are lucky to have you on this earth, and you deserve to have your light shine. I'm so sorry you were in spaces that tried to stop that from happening, and I'm glad you did what's best for you!
Not me ugly crying at the body’s perspective! 😭 I’m in a similar season and whew, it’s been hard putting that high achiever crown down for good. Sending you love, Maya!
I loved the perspective from your body, I’ve never read anything more relatable in my life. I too had to let go of everything this year (my job, home, car, city) and move back in with my family and it’s been the break my body and nervous system have been yearning for for years. We’re gonna be alright and I hope you keep writing these amazing bangers!❤️
good for u! there’s no shame in it! we are one of the only societies in the world that glorifies individualism. but we need the support. thank u so much for reading and being here 🤍
Appreciate you sharing your story, Maya. I too have ignored my body for far too long, and it’s time she gets to run the show. When she talks, we listen!
Yaaaaaaasssssss. I’m all about listening to the body. She’s got centuries of wisdom…just waiting to be heard! So thankful to see folks on this journey of reconnecting to our bodies and our intuition and ultimately our ancestral knowledge. It’s been life changing for me- so it’s a beautiful thing to hear the ways in which you are also attuning to this deeper part of yourself. It takes a village- inner and outer! Thank you for this post. 💛🙏🏾☀️
So proud of you choosing you Maya! These leadership positions can swallow us (black women) whole for all the wrong reasons. We are qualified and deserving but all the other BS that comes with it is not worth it.
Appreciate you(r body) sharing these feelings. Sometimes it's hard to listen to our bodies when the rest of the world seems to be telling us to ignore them and just power the F through. I've been considering that lately myself as I go through a similar transition to yours. Thanks for the share and happy you're getting closer to that more graceful alignment!
garrett! so great to see you here. yes, the world is a liar lol. it doesn't want you to become your full expression. it benefits from our compromise. sending u so much love on your journey and let me know if i can help. this is the work we do!
1, I’m proud of you for taking care of you. It’s so hard to do, and you’re learning to do it well. Thank you for sharing what you’re going through with us. I’ve been following you for a while and haven’t checked in lately so I’m glad to see this update coming from you.
2, I’m a couple steps behind you in the journey but starting a 30 day experiment to find my next step. I’ve been reflecting and I know I’m done with this stressful system, but man the fear of doing something I’ve never seen before is really overwhelming. I’ve been praying and asking for discernment — God brought me this post at a critical moment. It’s helpful to see what someone else did and what life is like for you right now, and how that makes you feel. 🫶🏽

the body had words, ok?! i was like dang sis, relax.
our ambition and faith can coexist. but our bodies have to be whole, healed and restored before we can finish our race. sending you so much love. someone sent me this clip and this explains it well! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZdn0sKpdsh/?igsh=ZmIybTB6MmttbGg%3D
love seeing your face here again!
Thank you! And thanks again for dispensing your lived experience into gems of wisdom for the world. ❤️
