The Internal Collapse That No One Sees.

There’s a quiet kind of breaking that happens inside. A collapse that doesn’t scream, doesn’t leave visible scars, but leaves your spirit hollowed in ways no one else can touch. You smile, you go through the motions, and you carry on but inside, pieces of yourself feel lost, like shards scattered across a room no one enters.

It’s in the moments when the mirror reflects someone you barely recognize. When you question every choice, every word, every feeling, and the weight of uncertainty presses so hard it feels like your chest could cave in. It’s exhausting to hold yourself together while the world expects you to be unshakable, confident, resilient. But internally, you’re crumbling and no one sees it.

Rebuilding self-trust after this kind of collapse is not about rushing or pushing past the pain. It’s about small, deliberate steps: speaking kindly to yourself when your inner critic shouts, honoring your boundaries even when it feels uncomfortable, acknowledging your fears without letting them define you. It’s learning to keep your promises to yourself, showing up for the person you often overlooked.

Your self-trust grows not in the big gestures, but in the quiet moments when you choose you. When you stand up after feeling like giving in, when you speak your truth softly, when you sit with yourself without judgment. Each step is a brick, carefully placed, rebuilding what once felt lost.

You may feel fragile. You may feel uncertain. But this collapse does not define you, it is the foundation from which your strongest self will rise.

💌 Family, I’m so excited to share this with you. My newest book, A Heart Made for Holding, is now published. It’s the first in The Hands that Carry Us Series, and it holds a story so close to my heart, one I know many of you will see yourselves in.

But this isn’t my only work. I’ve also published Somewhere Along the Way, I Stopped Living for Myself and Started Living for the People Who Don’t Even See Me, and The Awakening of Readiness. Each book carries its own heartbeat, one about honesty and heartbreak, the other about stepping into change when your spirit finally feels ready.

And now, with A Heart Made for Holding, we begin a series that will continue with more books to come.

All of these are available right now on Amazon, just search the titles, and you’ll find them there.

For anyone who has ever carried too much, loved in silence, or survived when survival itself felt like defiance, these books are for you.
