But there comes a moment, and Susan described it so well this week, when that whisper becomes a knowing.
Not loud, not dramatic, just undeniable.
Susan said in our interview, when your soul is done, it's done.
It won't let you pretend anymore.
And that line right there, that's the moment people confuse with crisis.
But it's not crisis.
It's the awakening.
It's the moment you stop asking for permission.
This is the internal shift that changes everything.
You stop waiting for someone to validate your feelings.
Someone to give you the green light.
Someone to say yes.
You're allowed to change.
Someone to make it easier for you.
You stop outsourcing the decision.
You stop pulling the room.
You stop negotiating your needs with people who benefit when you have none.
And you choose yourself, not because you're ready, but because not choosing yourself is no longer survivable.
It's the moment that fear flips direction.
People think that moment of choosing yourself is about becoming brave.
