There are days you just want to rest. Not inspire. Not guide. Not carry the weight of someone else’s hope.
Just rest.
And that’s not weakness—it’s wisdom. The truth is, leadership isn’t always loud. It isn’t always polished. Sometimes leadership is knowing when to step back. When to turn down the volume on the world and listen to your own breath. Because when your heart is tender and your body is tired, You lead by choosing gentleness. By choosing boundaries. By choosing rest without apology.
Not every day is for marching. Some days are for recovery. Some days are for healing in silence, so when you do speak—it’s from a deeper, stronger place.
So if today isn’t a leadership day, that’s okay. You’re still a leader. And you’re allowed to lead quietly from within.
