Affirmation of the Week 💛 "I am no longer available for relationships that require me to shrink." Some relationships only feel comfortable when you're smaller.

You hide your wins, mute your joy, and play down your dreams so no one feels uneasy. Over time, that shrinking costs you your peace, your confidence, and your sense of who you are. Choosing yourself doesn't make you selfish. It's healthy. The right people won't ask you to dim your light. They'll: ✨ Celebrate your victories ✨ Sit with you in your struggles ✨ Speak truth into your life with love ✨ Make room for you to grow If a relationship only works when you're smaller, it may be time to step back, set a boundary, or change how close you let that person be. 🌱 "Their version of a good friend or a good life is not the same as my version... And so I needed to take a step back." – Tara Nichols, Founder & CEO ✍️ Reflect this week: Where in your life do you feel the need to shrink? What would it look like to take up your full space there? At the Nichols Center, we believe you deserve relationships that help you grow. 💛 #NicholsCenter #Affirmation #ProtectYourPeace #HealthyBoundaries #KnowYourWorth #SelfRespect #HealthyRelationships #MentalHealth #HealingJourney #HealingTogether
