Choosing Yourself Isn’t Selfish — It’s Necessary
Tuesday, July 8
Why Protecting Your Peace and Leaving When Needed Is an Act of Strength
For so long, we’ve been told that choosing others first is what makes us “good.” That selflessness is the highest virtue. That loyalty means staying, even when it hurts. And while love, compassion, and patience are beautiful traits — they should never come at the cost of your peace, your energy, or your soul.
There comes a time when the most radical, most healing, and most honest thing you can do is this
Choose yourself. Always.
When You Choose You, You Break Cycles
Many of us were raised in homes where putting others first was modeled as love — even if it meant abandoning our own needs. As women, especially as moms or caregivers, we are praised when we sacrifice and criticized when we set boundaries. But here's the truth: martyrdom is not the goal. Wholeness is.
Choosing yourself may feel like rebellion at first, but really, it’s a form of restoration.
You are not here to constantly pour from an empty cup.
You are not responsible for saving everyone at the cost of drowning yourself.
When you choose yourself, you teach your children, your friends, and your younger self that self-respect is not optional. It’s sacred.
Walking Away Is Sometimes the Most Loving Thing You Can Do
Leaving doesn’t always mean failure.
Sometimes it means growth.
There are relationships, environments, and commitments that once served us — but no longer do. And staying out of guilt, fear, or obligation only keeps you stuck in a version of yourself you’ve outgrown.
You are allowed to walk away from
-
One-sided friendships
-
Emotionally manipulative relationships
-
Workplaces that don’t value your worth
-
Conversations that drain your spirit
-
Roles that no longer align with your truth
You don’t need their permission. You only need your own clarity.
Choosing Yourself Isn’t Being Cold — It’s Being Clear
Choosing yourself means becoming deeply honest about what your mind, body, and spirit need — and honoring that without shame. It’s about checking in with yourself more than you check in with others. It's about realizing that
-
Peace is more important than people-pleasing.
-
Rest is more valuable than proving your worth.
-
Silence is sometimes louder than arguments.
You’re not being difficult — you’re just done with things that don’t nourish your growth.
Exit with Grace, Not Guilt
You don’t need a dramatic exit or a perfect explanation. Sometimes, you simply fade out of spaces that can no longer hold the fullness of your becoming. And that’s okay.
Leaving is not always about closing the door with anger — sometimes, it’s about choosing peace over chaos, clarity over confusion, and truth over tolerance.
Yes, some people won’t understand your decision.
Yes, some may call you selfish.
But let them. You’re not living for their approval — you’re living for your alignment.
What Choosing Yourself Looks Like
-
Saying no without apologizing
-
Protecting your time, energy, and emotions
-
Spending time alone without feeling guilty
-
Creating space for joy, silence, hobbies, and healing
-
Releasing the need to explain your worth to anyone
Choosing yourself is not a one-time event. It’s a lifestyle. It’s waking up each day and deciding, “I matter. My needs matter. My dreams matter.”
You Are Allowed To Outgrow Who You Used to Be
Don’t shrink just because someone is uncomfortable with your evolution. You are not meant to stay where you were just to make others feel safe. You are meant to grow, to rise, to stretch.
Choosing yourself means grieving some connections. It means letting go. It means trusting that the version of you who walks away is braver, softer, and stronger than the one who stayed too long.
Choosing You Is a Lifelong Act of Love
Every time you choose yourself, you are rewriting your story. You are honoring the little girl inside who just wanted to be seen, heard, and held. You are creating a life rooted in peace, not pressure.
So today, and every day after this — choose yourself. Not once. But always.
You deserve to be the love you keep trying to give away.

How the Rich Girl Mindset Elevates Your Wellness Journey
Tuesday, April 8
Hey besties!
Let’s get one thing straight—wellness isn’t just about celery juice and cute yoga outfits. It’s a lifestyle. And if you’ve been tapping into that Rich Girl Mindset, then you already know: how you think changes how you glow
So today, we’re diving into how this mindset shift isn’t just about financial abundance—it’s about emotional, physical, and energetic abundance too.
What Is the Rich Girl Mindset Anyway?
It’s not about flashy spending or living above your means. The rich girl mindset is about choosing quality, moving with confidence, and protecting your peace like it’s designer.
It’s the energy of:
-
“I deserve to feel good daily.”
-
“My health is a priority, not a luxury.”
-
“I’m investing in myself every single day—mind, body, and soul.”
And that kind of energy? It naturally upgrades your wellness.
How This Mindset Transforms Your Health Habits
1. You Treat Wellness as a Non-Negotiable, Not a Treat
Rich girls don’t earn rest—they schedule it. They don’t skip meals, they nourish themselves like royalty. That includes daily rituals like sipping on Intra Juice first thing in the morning (yes, queen—hydrate & glow)
2. You Prioritize High-Vibe Energy
From workouts you actually enjoy, to supplements that support your mood and hormones (hello Intra Lifestyle products), you choose what feels good. You’re not in the business of suffering for results. You want results that flow.
3. You Say “No” Without Explaining
Protecting your peace is part of your wellness plan. Whether it’s saying no to a draining group chat or opting out of toxic food habits, the rich girl mindset reminds you: you owe no one an explanation for taking care of yourself.
4. You Invest in Wellness Like You Would a Chanel Bag
You don’t skimp on your health. That might mean a monthly wellness kit, organic groceries, or daily Intra Juice to support immunity, digestion, and vitality. You see your wellness tools as assets, not expenses.
Wellness Is a Lifestyle, Not a Phase
When you embody the rich girl mindset, you’re not just looking good—you’re feeling good, consistently. You’re no longer chasing results. You’re flowing in a lifestyle that honors your highest self.
So take that long bath. Sip that Intra. Turn your phone off. Breathe deeply. Move slowly. Choose you—over and over again.
You’re not just on a wellness journey, love.
You’re on a wellness elevation.
Stay radiant,
Grace

Growing Beyond an Unfulfilling Marriage
Saturday, April 5
There comes a time in every woman’s life when she must pause and ask herself: Am I truly living, or am I just surviving?
For years, I believed that staying in my marriage was the "right" thing to do. I told myself that sacrifices were part of love. I buried my dreams, dimmed my light, and silenced the voice inside me that whispered, “There’s more to life than this.”
But lately, something in me has shifted. I've started to redefine what rich means to me. It's no longer just about money in the bank or material things — it’s about emotional freedom, peace of mind, purpose, and personal growth.
And the truth is, I can’t step into that richness if I’m constantly feeling emotionally drained, undervalued, or stuck in a relationship that no longer nurtures who I’m becoming.
A Rich Mindset Begins with Radical Self-Honesty
One of the most powerful steps in embracing a rich mindset is being radically honest with yourself. For me, it meant admitting that I’ve outgrown the version of myself that stayed silent just to keep the peace.
I’ve learned that peace bought at the expense of your own soul isn’t peace at all — it’s self-abandonment.
Growth Demands Space
Just like a plant can’t thrive in a pot that’s too small, I’ve realized that I can’t grow if I keep shrinking myself to fit into a marriage that feels more like a cage than a partnership.
I want to thrive — spiritually, emotionally, financially. I want to build a life that reflects the woman I am becoming. That requires brave decisions. That requires faith.
You Are Not Selfish for Choosing You
Let’s be clear: choosing to grow out of a relationship that limits you isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.
It’s saying, “I matter too.”
It’s saying, “My purpose matters.”
And most importantly, it’s saying, “I trust that God didn’t bring me this far to live a life half-lived.”
What a Rich Mindset Looks Like
Believing you are worthy of more, even when it’s uncomfortable to pursue it.
Taking accountability for your healing and growth.
Letting go of what’s no longer aligned — no matter how familiar it feels.
Trusting in abundance, not scarcity — in love, life, and opportunity.
Surrounding yourself with people who pour into your vision instead of draining your energy.
Moving Forward, Not in Fear — But in Faith
I'm not writing this because I have it all figured out. I’m writing this because I’m choosing courage over comfort. I'm choosing to believe that the best version of me is on the other side of this difficult chapter.
If you’re reading this and it resonates, know this: you are not alone. You are allowed to want more. You are allowed to pursue a life that reflects your dreams and honors your soul.
This is not the end — this is the beginning of your rich girl era — the one where you choose healing, growth, purpose, and power.
And I’m right here with you, walking the path, one brave step at a time.
