She Forgot Herself While Holding Everyone Together: A Story Too Many Women of Color Know

28

There’s a moment some of us never forget—not because it was dramatic, but because it was quiet.

Maybe it was standing in the mirror and not recognizing your own eyes.
Maybe it was canceling something joyful because someone else needed you.
Maybe it was lying in bed, holding back tears you didn’t even know you were allowed to cry.

For so many women of color, this is the story: being everything for everyone, while slowly forgetting ourselves.

We are the caregivers. The peacekeepers. The responsible ones. We carry our families, our communities, our partners. We’re praised for how well we handle it all.

But beneath the praise lives a deeper truth:

  • We are tired.
  • We are grieving.

We are longing.

 

The Silent Disappearance

This disappearance doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens in the tiny daily trades:

  • Trading your rest for someone else’s needs.
  • Trading your joy for stability.
  • Trading your voice for peace.

And after a while, we don’t know what we feel unless someone else is feeling it.
We don’t know how to say no without guilt.
We don’t remember the last time we felt held instead of needed.

 

The Soul’s Quiet Cry

It shows up in the body: tension, fatigue, disconnection.
It shows up in relationships: resentment, over-functioning, people-pleasing.
But it also shows up in the soul, whispering:
“There’s more to you than this.”

You might not have the language for what’s happening. You just know something’s off.

That’s not weakness. That’s awareness.

 

Soulful Reclamation™ Was Created For This

This program isn’t about self-improvement.
It’s about sacred remembering.

It’s for the woman who is ready to:

  • Reconnect with the parts of herself she abandoned to survive
  • Learn rituals that ground, soothe, and nourish
  • Journal her truth instead of suppressing it
  • Feel safe enough to cry, rage, rest, and rejoice

It’s for the woman who wants to be whole again—not for anyone else, but for herself.

 

It’s Time to Come Back to You

If you’ve been feeling the tug—the desire to return to the woman you were before the world told you who to be—this is your opening.

In Soulful Reclamation™, you don’t have to earn healing.
You only have to say yes to it.

Come back to your softness.
Come back to your spirit.
Come back to your self.

You were never meant to disappear.
You are meant to return.
