Hello, beautiful souls.

I’m so elated to connect with you again in this brand new week and a brand new month. How are you doing? I hope you’re flourishing, growing, and finding joy wherever you are.

Since this is our first time gathering here in July, permit me to officially welcome you into this powerful new month. Happy New Month and welcome to the Second Half of the Year!

So tell me, how has July been so far?

In June; we went deep, exploring the nooks and crannies of Fear, and what a time it was! But guess what? July is about to be even more impactful.

What I have for you this month is real, raw, juicy, and life-changing. It will shift your mindset, influence your journey, and help you see yourself through a renewed lens.

This month, we’re diving into the theme: “Becoming.”

When we talk about Becoming, we’re talking about the journey of evolving into who you’re truly meant to be; reclaiming your identity, rewriting your narrative, and restarting from exactly where you are, not where you think you should be.

Think of July as a second January, a fresh start for those who need one. It’s your mental permission slip to reset your goals, energy, habits, and mindset, no matter how the first half of the year went.

That fear of being a beginner again? It’s lying to you. You don’t have to have it all together to start. You just have to begin.

This month, we’re going to shatter the illusion that growth is always glamorous. Because spoiler alert: it’s not. Growth is raw. It’s real. It’s rarely aesthetic. And that’s the exact reason why it matters.

The goal of this month’s series is simple:

👉 To make you feel seen in your struggle.
👉 And inspired enough to keep going anyway.

Becoming who you’re meant to be isn’t always clean or cute. It’s often breaking before rebuilding. It’s dealing with doubt, silence, and starting over again and again.

It’s outgrowing people who once felt like home. It’s making bold decisions you can’t explain but know are right in your gut.

The truth about becoming is that it’s messy. Nothing looks like it at first. It’s uncomfortable, often invisible and still exactly what you need.

Most of the real work of becoming happens in the dark; quietly, privately, and without applause. That’s where the actual transformation begins, it when it looks perfect, but when it’s honest.

So if your life feels messy right now, don’t run from it. That ache? That confusion? That inner tension? It’s not failure, it’s the sound of transformation.

Everyone wants transformation, but no one talks about what it actually takes. We crave the glow-up, not the breakdown. The healed version, not the healing process. The new identity, but not the death of the old one.

Becoming isn’t pretty. But it’s everything. You’ll have to break parts of yourself to build new ones. And yes, the old version of you has to die for the new one to evolve.

But here’s the truth no one tells you: Becoming is brutal. Not because you’re doing it wrong, but because you’re doing it right.

Just when you’re finally getting it right, it may feel even harder. That’s the tension of outgrowing a life you once prayed for. It’s not fitting into places that used to feel like home.

It’s setting boundaries that make you the villain in someone else’s story. It’s unlearning survival patterns that once protected you, but now hold you back.

Those patterns helped you survive a past season. But in this season? They’re keeping you small. It’s time to grow, and you know it.

Becoming who you’re meant to be comes with sacrifice. The path might be lonely, silent, even sacred. It won’t always look good.

Real becoming is ugly before it’s beautiful. It’s raw before it’s refined. It’s chaos before clarity.

So if you’re in the thick of it, in the hard middle, please remember:

You’re not broken.
You’re not behind.
You’re not lost.
You’re just in the process.

Becoming isn’t the one big moment when everything changes. It’s the million quiet choices you make when no one is watching.

The hard decisions. The endings that feel like loss but are actually freedom. This is your becoming.

It may not be pretty, but it’s powerful. I don’t know what the hardest part of your journey looks like right now. But I want to encourage you, don’t stop!

Becoming is demanding. It’s sometimes heavy. It’s a full-time job with no off days. So, don’t give up. You’re so close. You are just a few steps away from becoming the person you’ve dreamed of.

Don’t be discouraged by the not-so-pretty parts. Every single step, every lesson, every awkward in-between is preparing you for the version of you that you desire to meet.

Let go of the version of you that you’ve already outgrown. Don’t get stuck there. Release the old so you can rise into the new.

Keep going. You’re not behind, you’re building. This second half of the year is your opportunity to jump back in and run your race with fresh fire.

Becoming isn’t supposed to be easy, it’s supposed to be transformative. And transformation almost always looks like chaos before it reveals clarity.

So, trust the process. Even when it’s messy. Especially when it’s messy. Growth doesn’t always feel good, but it’s always worth it.

Becoming stretches us. It breaks routines, confronts fears, and challenges everything that once felt comfortable. But growth rarely announces itself with fanfare. It usually arrives quietly in the hard days, the quiet persistence, the lessons nobody sees.

Don’t let the difficulty trick you into thinking you’re not growing. You are. Every time you rise after falling, you are. Every time you show up when you don’t feel ready, you are. Let go of timelines and toxic comparison.

You are not behind. You are being built, layer by layer, step by step into someone stronger, wiser, more grounded, and more whole.

This second half of the year is your open road. Walk it boldly. Use what the first half taught you; the wins, the wounds, and everything in between and build forward.

This isn’t a do-over. It’s a continuation of your becoming. So breathe. Reset if you need to. But don’t stop.

Keep showing up. Keep pressing forward.

You still have time.
You still have strength.
You still have purpose.

Keep building. Keep believing. Keep becoming. You are becoming everything you were created to be.

I hope this has blessed you. Don’t just read it and scroll, take time to sit with it, reflect, and re-strategize for the rest of the year. I’d love to hear from you!

Drop your thoughts, lessons, reflections, and takeaways in the comments, I’ll be reading them all.

Thank you for showing up. See you again next week on this beautiful journey of Becoming.

Wishing you a grace-filled week ahead.

 

With love,
