Audit Your Influences
(and then turn them down)
There’s this sneaky kind of noise we start mistaking for truth.
The advice. The shoulds. The “well-meaning” warnings from people who’ve never lived the kind of life you’re calling in.
If they don’t have the life you want
why the f*ck are you taking direction from them?
Unhappy people love to gift-wrap fear and call it logic.
But their limits aren’t your reality.
And their doubt isn’t your destiny.
The truth?
Most of the voices in your life are echoes of old systems.
Of their own regrets.
Of safety over soul.
You’re not here to shrink into their comfort zone.
You’re here to stretch into your vision
even if it doesn’t make sense to them.
Even if it scares you a little.
Even if it means walking away from what feels familiar… but not f*cking free.

OFH Prompt:
Whose voice do you need to turn down — so you can hear your own again?
Protect your peace.
Protect your path.
Protect the woman you’re becoming.
She’s not too much.
She’s just no longer available for half-aligned noise.
You already know.
Trust that.
