Rediscovering Joy—One “I AM” at a Time
Title: Rediscovering Joy—One “I AM” at a Time
Friday Feels Great!
The sun is beaming down on me, I’m walking by the lake with my four-legged friend—three of my favorite things all in one beautiful moment. It’s peaceful, grounding, and joyful.
A few years ago, I wouldn’t have slowed down long enough to notice how good this feels. I would have rushed through the day, checking off tasks, caught in the chaos of doing everything for everyone else… and forgetting myself in the process.
But today is different.
Today, I feel grateful. I feel calm. I feel content.
Not because my life is suddenly perfect—but because I’ve done the inner work. I’ve started listening to what I need. I’ve started honoring what brings me joy.
And it all began with two simple, yet powerful words: I AM.
I AM worthy.
I AM enough.
I AM allowed to enjoy my life—truly enjoy it.
Those words weren’t easy to believe at first. Like so many women, I had spent years putting everyone else’s needs ahead of my own. I thought rest was lazy. I thought joy was indulgent. I thought self-worth had to be earned by over-giving and overdoing.
But that was a lie I had learned—not a truth I had chosen.
The truth is: when we start speaking kindly to ourselves… when we start slowing down enough to feel… when we start putting our well-being first—everything begins to shift.
If you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or like you’ve lost yourself in the daily grind—I see you.
I’ve been there.
And I want you to know: it can feel different.
You don’t have to wait for a better time. You don’t need to earn rest or joy. You just need to begin. One breath. One moment. One gentle "I AM" at a time.
If you’re ready to start your journey back to YOU, I’d love to walk alongside you.

Let’s make space for joy again.
Let’s say yes to ourselves.
Let’s thrive—not just survive.
With love and empowerment,
Kim
