The “Easter Hangover” Nobody Talks About
This weekend, between Good Friday services at our Waxahachie Campus, Easter Fun Day at our Cedar Hill Campus, and our Weekly Sunday Dinner at mom’s, I slipped away multiple times to sit with the thoughts in my own mind, to hear and feel just my emotions and energy.
During the second service at our Cedar Hill Campus I realized I hadn’t taken a deep breath and I had forgotten how to navigate large groups of people. I had to remind myself: I am a leader, a coach, and a woman of faith—but I am also allowed to be tired.
Today, the house is quiet. Mom is preparing to wash dishes and to visit the cemetery. And I wonder about a few in my circle. The wives who are navigating life transitions. The moms who are grieving and overwhelmed alongside toddlers or teenagers. Everyone is finally back in their routines. But are they?
It’s okay to not be okay
As you sit there with your coffee this morning, you feel it. That heavy, familiar fog.
Maybe it’s the perimenopause making your brain feel like it’s full of static. Maybe it’s the weight of the grief you carried through the “celebration”—remembering who was missing from the table this year. Or maybe it’s just the exhaustion of being the “Chief Emotional Officer” for everyone else while your own tank is on empty.
In the rush to be everything for everyone, it’s easy to lose the thread of your own story.
This post is for the days you can’t remember who you are called to be.
When the trauma of the last 18 months feels louder than your purpose, and “momentum” feels like a word meant for someone else, I want you to remember three things:
You aren’t “failing,” you are transitioning. Your body and your heart are navigating a massive recalibration. Give yourself the same grace you give your children.
Peace doesn’t require a mountain retreat. Sometimes, it’s found in a 15-minute puzzle, a single card prompt, or a quiet walk down a neighborhood sidewalk in the “still” of the morning.
You don’t have to “math” your way out of the fog. You just have to find the next right piece.
I spent my morning reflecting on the “Hidden Sanctuaries” right here in DFW—those quiet corners like the walking bridge on FM 1382 or the still streets of Greenbriar Estates in Duncanville. They remind me that even when life feels chaotic, there is a path under our feet.
If you are struggling to find your momentum today, you don’t have to do it alone. Whether it’s through my 90-day journal or a 1-on-1 session with one of my vetted coaches, we are here to help you clear the fog.
Let’s find your piece of peace today.
If today feels like too much, don’t try to fix your whole life. Just start with one piece of peace. I put together the Momentum Shift Card Game specifically for mornings like this. You can find it here: https://payhip.com/b/DOjqe
