You do not have to prove your worth through exhaustion. - This was the lesson I had to learn and still need to remind myself of occasionally ❤️🌹

Thank you for following through on the healthy versus unhealth logic of how to move forward as empowered leaders. To do the unhealthy moving is to not listen to who we are below the surface of all the noise going on around us. Solid write up Margaret :)

This piece quietly invites responsibility not in a heavy way, but in a deeply human one.

Discernment here feels less like decision-making and more like self-trust built over time. I loved how it frames clarity not as certainty, but as presence.

Just curious how do you personally recognize the difference between intuition and fear when making meaningful choices?

“Discernment is power under control” is a strong line. Especially in a culture that confuses speed with relevance and exhaustion with leadership.

The part that stayed with me is this tension:

How do we distinguish discernment from avoidance?

At what point does sovereignty become distance?

There’s something important here about strategic voice versus reflex reaction. The reminder that not every truth requires our microphone — that feels especially relevant right now.

This piece doesn’t shout. It recalibrates.
