You know what’s kinda the worst? Second guessing whether your story, your wisdom, your life, is really worth telling.

It’s not as though I continuously get feedback that sounds like, “Geez, Jenna, shut up already”, and yet I have allowed this little ticker tape to continue in my brain when I start to share my story or offer advice.

Why?

Whelp, probably because I’m human. I’m learning daily. I mess up, I get back up. I mess up, I stay down for a bit. Why is it so hard to remember that growth isn’t linear?

PLUS, let’s take a moment and think about the drive behind the legacy I want to leave in this world; it’s not that I want to be famous for being the most amazing and insightful woman whoever lived. That’s just not going to be the case– not because I’m not worthy– but no one can hold such a title. So, why do I want to share my story? Why do I feel this incessant need to exploit my inner voice?

Because of you. Yep, you. The thought that perhaps ONE person may see themselves in these words and feel the comfort in satisfaction in knowing they aren’t alone as they navigate this journey through life.

I hate it. I have to legitimately write as quickly as possible and publish before I read through my post just to get the nerves out. No over-analyzing, just post. Pour out from my depths and know that even if I only reach one kindred spirit, that makes the vulnerability worth it. So you, my dear one who has stuck through my ramblings, I hope you experience a brief glimpse of connexion (a là Jane Austen, of course) with my heart today. And if you don’t, no matter. May you find that peace elsewhere.

The light in me sees the light in you 💜😊

P.S. And with that, I’ve decided to start sharing myself a little more through some private yoga videos, cause I love to teach and I’ve got some inquiries. I would love to include you as a part of this experience! If you’re interested, find me on Instagram @jennamaste and send me a message!
