You Don’t Have to Choose

How to Grow Without Guilt in the Season You’re In

I used to believe that purpose and responsibility were a trade-off.
That to be fully present with my family meant I had to dim the fire of my dreams.
That showing up for others meant shelving the parts of me that wanted more.
Maybe you’ve felt that too?

But here’s what I’ve learned—not just from my coaching practice, but from my own becoming:

You don’t have to choose.
You can be devoted and driven.
You can be nurturing and ambitious.
You can love your current life deeply and still hold space for the next version of you to emerge.

The very place that feels like a tug-of-war might actually be sacred ground for growth.
It’s not about waiting for the perfect moment—it’s about growing where you are.

When I coach you, we don’t wait for life to calm down before we start moving toward purpose.
We build rhythms around real life.
We honor the glow already within—yes, even in messy, in-between seasons.

Because the truth is: you don’t have to silence one calling to answer another.

You get to live a story where both can bloom.

So I ask you:
What dream are you giving yourself permission to grow right now?
Even if it feels small. Even if you’re unsure. Even if the timing isn’t perfect.

Your glow doesn’t need perfect conditions—just a willing heart and a few brave steps.
