I’m Done Shapeshifting: The Moment I Took My Life Back

There was a moment in Fall 2024 that changed everything for me.
I had just earned my master’s degree. I was working in a role I loved—but I knew in my gut that I was still saying yes to things out of fear, obligation, and the need to prove I could handle it all.

The truth? I was tired. Not just physically, but spiritually tired—from years of shapeshifting into what other people needed me to be.

And so, I stopped.

I left that role with love and stepped into the unknown—launching myself into my therapy career, my PhD program, and the early seeds of The Feel-Good Fit. Not because it looked good on paper, but because it felt right in my bones.

This post is for anyone who’s ever made themselves smaller to fit in. You are not too much. You are not too late. You’re exactly on time.
