This was profound. I resonate. I want more and sometimes I feel like I can’t want more without working harder but there are people doing less - just being themselves making a lot more. I also had some guilt because the salary currently make I feel like I’m not working hard enough but I recognize I’m living on the prayers of my ancestors, my prayers, and hard work from times before. My recent saying that I’m bring back - Fuck it, we ball! (I love that you mentioned ball out in this haha)

Thank you for reading, Janel! I feel you—every time I slip into thinking I must ‘work harder’ for more money, I remind myself that those people who are just being themselves are examples of what’s possible for me as I continue showing up 🙏🏾✨ Why not you? You know?

It takes a bit to release that guilt but it’s not yours to carry. I vow to commit to exploring what else we can do other than working ourselves to the bone or guilt tripping ourselves when we are worthy of so much!
