Becoming Your Best Butterfly

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader 👋

Greetings! Are you sitting comfortably?

Good, because I'm about to take you on a wild ride through the slightly bonkers world of metamorphosis.

Yes, it's time to talk about the glorious transformation from the caterpillar of your past to the butterfly of your fabulous future while in your second act.

First off, let's address the caterpillar in the room.

  • Metamorphosis is not a walk in the park.
  • It's more like a hike through a jungle with a backpack full of emotional baggage.
  • It's a process that requires effort, resilience, and a willingness to let go of the old to make way for the new.

But hey, who said change had to be boring?

Now, letting go is never easy, especially when you're used to a certain way of thinking about your life.

It's like trying to convince a cat to take a bath – not happening without some resistance!

Snakes regularly shed their dead skin.

It probably feels fabulous afterwards and we too must release our old ideas and embrace the necessary changes.

This might mean:

  • bidding adieu to a sense of low self-worth
  • or working on a relationship that's more draining than a leaky faucet
  • or addressing unhealthy habits that are as hard to kick as an ice cream addiction.

Despite the fear and uncertainty

It's essential to accept that this is a transformational time for you.

Think of it as a caterpillar's spa day before it becomes a butterfly – some discomfort, but oh, the results!

The path to transformation is not a straight line; it's more like a dance – two steps forward, one step back, and a cha-cha-cha for good measure.

I believe in you and the incredible transformation you're undergoing.

Embrace this time of change with a smile and a giggle, and trust that you'll love the butterfly you become – with fabulous wings to match!

Reply to this email if you would like to learn more about becoming your butterfly version or you can share your story!

I personally answer each email.

With love and laughter,

Lynn Hardin
