You Give the Best Advice, But Can’t Take Your Own? Welcome to the Club.
It’s funny and a cosmic contradiction because,
you’re the one people run to when they’re spiraling. You’re the hype girl, the strategist, the “listen babe, here’s what you need to do…” type. You can give legendary advice — stuff that could go viral if you said it out loud on TikTok, but when it’s your own life? Crickets. Fog. Full meltdown mode.
And honestly? You’re not alone.
Giving great advice means being a great observer; it’s less stressful than being on the receiving end. As an observer your detached, logical and have mental clarity. Being able to see clearly for someone else is a totally different frequency than being inside your own storm.
The Mirror Is Harder Than the Megaphone
There’s a sacred difference between seeing someone’s situation with clarity and feeling your own chaos up close.
When it’s someone else, your heart gets to guide. Your ego steps back. You see their potential, not their fear.
When it come down to you…the stakes feel higher. The emotions are louder. The noise in your head? Deafening.
So you freeze. You forget what you’d tell a friend. You think maybe you’re the exception to your own wisdom.
(You’re not.)
Let Your Light Touch You, Too
What would it look like to take your own advice… as if it were coming from your highest self? To look in the mirror and say, “You know better. You are better. Let’s move.” To set the boundary you’d beg your bestie to set. To leap toward the thing you’d hype anyone else into doing. To stop shrinking just because your heart is tired.
You already have the wisdom. You already are the guide. Now let your inner light lead you, too.
You’re not failing because it’s hard. You’re not fake because it’s messy. You're just living out your magic, in real time.
You Can Be the Muse and Still Be Figuring It Out
If you’re the one with all the answers but still fumbling for your own…
If you’re the strong one who sometimes wants to crumble…
If you’re the advice-giver who cries behind closed doors…
You're not alone. You're not off-path. You're just walking yourself home.
