Post 3: The Woman in the Middle: Balancing Life Without Losing Myself
Letter from the Editor Opening:
Dear Reader,
Being in the middle is exhausting. Seeing all sides, holding space for everyone, keeping yourself grounded — it’s like walking a tightrope. But I’ve learned balance isn’t pleasing everyone. It’s honoring yourself while honoring the world.
🌿 Walking the Tightrope
I am the bridge between extremes: the eco-warrior and the human who wants to look presentable, provide for my kids, and live sustainably. Exhausting? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Pausing, observing, and acting with intention keeps me steady.
🌞 The Art of Holding Space
Balance is a practice. Protect your energy. Set boundaries. Accept you can’t control everything. The storm teaches resilience. The storm reminds you that you are steady, even in chaos.
✨ Finding Myself in the Middle
Quiet moments, small victories, a laugh with my kids, a deep breath in yoga — these are my anchors. Even while observing, listening, absorbing tension, I honor my own voice.
Pull Quote / Affirmation:
“I am steady. I hold space without losing myself. I honor all parts of my life.” 🌱
With love and persistence,
