We spend so much of our lives chasing a future, “better” version of ourselves.
The confident one.
The organized one.
The one who finally feels ready.
But after coaching women in midlife for over two decades, I’ve learned a truth most people overlook:
The woman you are today isn’t in your way — she is the way.
The version of you who woke up this morning — whether she’s hopeful, tired, curious, overwhelmed, peaceful, or somewhere in between — is the version who deserves your presence and compassion.
Not correction.
Not comparison.
Not judgment.
Why Honoring Today’s You Matters
When you wait for a “better you,” you put your life on hold.
When you honor the woman you are today, you create momentum.
It may look like:
- Choosing rest instead of forcing productivity
- Saying yes to what feels aligned
- Allowing yourself to begin again, without apology
- Admitting what’s true for you right now
Listening to your body instead of old expectations
These choices shift your energy from striving to self-trust — and that shift changes everything.
The woman you are today isn’t in your way — she is the way.
The woman you’re becoming can only grow from the woman you are today.
The woman you are today isn’t in your way — she is the way.
She’s the foundation.
The root.
The beginning of your rise.
When you honor her, you move from resistance to alignment, from self-judgment to self-trust, from waiting to living.
