I’m fine.
It’s the lie you’ve been telling everyone else without even realizing it.Maybe you really think you ARE fine.
You’re managing. Nothing’s on fire. You’re getting through the day.
But since when did “fine” become the standard? Since when did surviving the day become a badge of honor?
The Cinderella Trap
Women don’t wake up one day burned out and wondering what happened.
It’s a process that happens over time. A slow unraveling. One compromise here. one "yes" when you wanted to say "no" there. Because you’re a go getter and goal setter, you do it all, taking care of everyone else, pushing your needs aside, and feeling “fine” about it.Until the day you realize it’s not. Fine.Somehow “just one more thing” turns into an insurmountable pile of to-do’s, and “just one second” stretches into years.
Suddenly, you’re a burned-out Cinderella, a slave to your own life, wondering when it will be your turn to be that fun, vivacious, energetic person who gets to go to the ball.Fine Isn’t Fine
The truth is that there’s more to life than being “fine.”
Yes. Even if you’re “just” a mom (p.s. there’s no such thing).
Even if you’re not a celebrity.
You are the star of your own life.
So often, we downplay our own worth, especially in the face of others’ expectations. You might feel like you’re supposed to be everything for everyone else—whether it’s as a parent, a partner, a professional, or a friend. The world seems to love the idea of “putting others first,” but at what cost to you?
Fine is comfortable. Safe. And utterly unremarkable. It’s a placeholder that keeps you stuck in a life that’s less than you deserve. Because you weren’t made for fine. You were made for more.
Taking Control of YOUR Story
The truth is that no one in the history of the world has lived like you. Even if you have a twin.
No one else on earth has your exact DNA, your exact soul make up, or lived your life experiences.Because of that, you have a unique way of seeing the world and interacting with the world, which means there are gifts and insights only YOU can give this world.
That’s WAY better than fine.Better than fine is
Waking up excited for the day.
Knowing your presence makes a statement before you say a word.
Living a life aligned with who you are and what you want.
When you stop settling for “fine,” you create room for growth. You become more than a list of responsibilities and roles. You are a powerful and unique human being--one who makes decisions, takes chances, and thrives on their own terms.
You deserve to unlock your potential, own your style, and claim your own happily ever after.
Your next chapter is yours to write.
Start by making one bold move today—whether it’s taking up space, saying no to what drains you, or doing something that lights you up.
You don’t need permission to be the woman you’ve always dreamed of becoming. You just get to show up as the amazing person you already are.Let others be fine.
But you? You were born to be fabulous.
