Talk That Transforms with Kim Davis

This week really showed me the power of transparency and how it reminds you that you’re not alone.

I recently started taking medication for anxiety, and I’m still in the process of finding the right one for my body. As I shared this with a few close friends, I was honestly surprised to find out that every single one of them is also taking something for anxiety. I would have never known.

At first, I felt ashamed that I even needed medication. I questioned myself and wondered what others would think. But I made a decision: the way I was going to combat that fear was by speaking about it openly. And now? I truly don’t care who knows.

I’m in a season where I’m choosing healing and wholeness—completely. I want to be the best version of myself, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. There’s freedom in admitting when you need help, and even more freedom in choosing to get it.

This same lesson showed up for me in another area of my life this week.

I had the opportunity to hire a new staff member. I questioned myself because what I saw on the outside didn’t match what I thought the “right” choice should look like. I even had another option. But I could hear the voice of someone who speaks wisdom into my life saying, “Don’t miss your blessing in this season by thinking it has to look a certain way.”

Ten minutes after the interview, I called and hired them. Today was their first day of training, and it turned out to be one of the easiest training days I’ve had in a long time. I was so grateful I didn’t overlook my blessing simply because it didn’t come packaged the way I expected.

Have you ever been there?

This year, don’t miss out. Don’t miss healing because of shame. Don’t miss help because of pride. Don’t miss your blessing because it doesn’t look like what you imagined. Sometimes the very thing we need comes quietly, unexpectedly, and wrapped in a lesson we didn’t know we were ready for—but we are.

Choose transparency. Choose growth. Choose not to miss what’s meant for you.
