The Wisdom of Becoming

Stories We Carry, Stories We Shed

Dear Sister,

I’ve come to believe that becoming isn’t a destination. It’s a sacred unfolding. A shedding and gathering that happens across seasons, not in a straight line.

Some stories we carry for decades. Others—once vital—begin to feel too tight, too small, no longer true. The roles we played. The labels we wore. The ways we proved ourselves.

All part of the journey. But not all meant to stay.

This month, I’ve been reflecting on the story I’ve been living and the one I feel called to write next, not on paper, but in how I show up. The way I rest. The way I trust myself. The way I release timelines and return to rhythm.

What I know for sure is this: we don’t always need to push forward. Sometimes, we need to peel back. To let the deeper truth rise without rushing.

So I ask you:

What story are you shedding?

And what truth is quietly rising in its place?

Share it in the comments if you feel led. I’ll be gathering a few responses for a special Wisdom Wall post later this month.

Here’s to becoming,

Pam
