Hey fam,

Welcome to Week 2 of our Becoming Journey. I’m honestly so hyped by the feedback from last week, thank you!

I’m glad we’re doing this together. It’s like we’re building something brick by brick, and this week, we’re laying Block 2. Let’s get right into it.

Our focus this week? That’s Progress.

Yup, just like that popular saying: we’re all a work in progress.

The whole point of this week’s message is to reassure you that those confusing, quiet, in-between seasons of your life? They’re not failures. You’re not lost. You’re rebuilding.

And yeah, it can feel overwhelming, but these seasons are necessary. They’re the silent parts of becoming, the parts most people avoid because of how demanding they are.

If you asked me where I am in life right now, I’d probably hold up a sign that says: “UNDER CONSTRUCTION.” Or “IN PROGRESS”. That’s my current phase.

Not finished. Not polished. Not perfect. But still building. Still breaking. Still becoming. Sometimes falling, yet rising again.

Even when it doesn’t look like it. Even when it doesn’t feel like it. Because real becoming doesn’t always look like progress.

Sometimes it looks like stillness. Sometimes it feels like going backwards. Sometimes it feels like the effort isn’t adding up at all.

Sometimes it means letting go of dreams, titles, relationships that once made sense, and sitting in the discomfort of what’s next, even when it’s unclear.

That little effort of yours? That tiny step toward purpose? Even when it feels like failure, it’s not. Its construction. You’re in progress. 💥

And you know what construction looks like? A whole lot!  Walls come down before new ones go up. The blueprint often makes zero sense to outsiders.

The old structure has to be gutted before the new one can carry weight. Things sometimes get worse before they get better. Sound familiar? That’s becoming.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your transition. You don’t need to rush your rebuild just to make others feel comfortable.

You’re allowed to be a work in progress. You’re allowed to take your time. You’re allowed to be under construction and still be whole.

So if you’re in a quiet, messy, or hidden season, stop calling it a setback. You’re in your season of becoming. You’re being made. You’re making progress.

It’s not a breakdown, it’s a rebuild. Growth sometimes looks like confusion. But you’re not behind, you’re becoming. Let it take the time it needs.

You’re still allowed to be proud of yourself right here. This in-between version of you, the one who doesn’t have it all figured out, who feels scattered, uncertain, or slow? That’s not a failure.

That’s you becoming. Quietly. Daily. Growth doesn’t always come with fireworks. Sometimes it looks like silence. Stillness. Even survival. But don’t confuse that with being stuck.

You’re being rebuilt. Reshaped. Rewired. So give yourself grace in the mess. You’re not done, you’re in progress.

We’ve got to normalize the in-between seasons. It’s not wasted space, it’s sacred ground. Something is being formed in you, even if it doesn’t show yet.

You are fully in progress, and that’s more than okay. Truth is, most of us are. But we’re never really taught how to be okay with it.

We’re told to arrive. To show the “after.” To look like a finished product; neat, clean, symmetrical. But becoming? It’s none of that.

Growth happens in layers. In pieces. In moments when you’re questioning everything but still choosing to keep going.

Sometimes becoming means pulling apart who you once were. Sometimes it’s breaking down walls that used to protect you, but now just trap you.

Sometimes it’s looking in the mirror and not recognizing yourself, and learning to be okay with that, too. Becoming is soul work. A mind work.

Construction work on the core of who you are. And guess what? Most people won’t get it. They’ll ask why you’re not “there” yet.

Why have you changed?
Why are you quieter?
Why are you letting go of things that they think define you?

But you’ll know. You’ll feel it in your gut, in your tired bones, in your spirit that’s done with the shallow. They might not understand, and they don’t need to.

This is your journey. You’re not breaking down. You’re being rebuilt. You don’t need to make it make sense to everyone.

Keep your eyes on what you’re building. You’re tearing out what no longer fits. Laying new foundations where you once only knew survival. Now? You’re stepping into thriving.

You’re reinforcing strength where you used to shrink. And guess what? You’re shrinking no more. It’s your time to flourish, loudly and fully.

And here’s the wild part: You might not even see the transformation happening right now. That’s okay. None of us really do when we’re in it. So take the time you need.

You’re not in competition. You’re not trying to become them. You’re just working on becoming you. And one day, you’ll look back and say: “I’m not who I was.”

Not because you failed, but because you evolved. Into the version of you that you’ve always wanted to be.

So if you’re:

• Feeling slow
• Feeling lost
• Feeling like nothing makes sense right now:  Just remember: You’re not behind. You’re becoming.

Slowly. Boldly. Silently.

You are a masterpiece in progress, and that’s a powerful place to be.
Don’t rush it.
Don’t hide it.
Don’t apologize for it.

Even the strongest people you know have had seasons where it felt like nothing was happening, but everything was being built. You deserve that same grace. Give yourself that permission to become.
Here are a few reflection questions for your week:

• Where in your life do you feel “under construction”?
• What part of your becoming are you learning to trust right now?
• What would change if you permitted yourself to just be in progress?

Take these into your week. Let them guide your thoughts, your actions, your healing. I really hope this blesses you as you grow through this season.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, insights, and takeaways in the comments. I’ll be there reading and responding.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Catch y’all again next week 💫

Have a productive and purposeful week ahead. Cheers!

 

With love,
