Authenticity, transparency, and white-knuckled vulnerability are hard to come by these days. However, anything less simply does not resonate with those of us who are truly seeking the courage to break free from our feelings of inadequacy and all that tethers us to a lesser or smaller version of ourselves.
Through her refreshing honesty and generous amounts of humor, Holly encourages and equips others to embrace their purpose and find joy in every moment… even the impossible ones.
Holly Chamberlain is an advocate, speaker, and blogger. She is the founder of the aMasongrace project, a community organization for suicide prevention. Her widely-read blog It’s Just Me chronicles her journey of surviving suicide loss.
Join Holly here in her latest endeavor, Totally Enough, as she now focuses her energy on empowering and encouraging women.
You have enough. You do enough. You are enough. Totally Enough.
These are the operating principles that fuel the ever-evolving Totally Enough movement that is empowering women to accept themselves as they are and believe in their intrinsic value. It is an expansion of the aMasongrace project, Holly Chamberlain’s five-year, transformational journey that brought us these resounding truths: moments pass, please stay, you matter.
Totally Enough is confirmation that, even if nothing changes, we are good enough. We can live this life. We can do the things. We can find joy in the moments and just be…
Totally Enough confronts the mindset that we are all competing against one another— that someone else’s measure of success means that the rest of us are somehow diminished. It rejects the notion that our value is tied to our appearance or activity or net worth.
Totally Enough is designed to empower women to courageously take their place and own their space without asking for permission. It offers freedom for women to stop gauging their worth by the ever-changing opinions of others. It encourages the telling of stories and the revealing of struggles and the exposing of truths— even when our voices shake and our knees tremble and our confidence wanes.
On June 1st, 2013, from a hotel balcony in San Diego, I looked out at the ocean and confidently asked the universe to surprise me. I felt safe. I was in control. I had created an incredible life. I had a great job. I had an aMazing son. I had survived some pretty big life
F O M O, aka Fear Of Missing Out… News flash: this isn’t real. It’s a made up thing to make you feel like you’re not enough. <I said what I said> It’s true, girlfriends. FOMO ain’t real. We never had it until ‘they’ said we should have it. And they repeated it and repeated it and
Women, pay attention. From the minute we arrive on the planet, we are learning. Memorizing. Recording. Absorbing. It’s what we are designed to do. Every single message comes in and is processed. Stored. Placed. Our brains find a spot to file away the information for future use. There is no filter for ‘good info’ or
What you did is not who you are. <Read that again> What you did is not who you are. I had a conversation with a friend recently about some things I did in my 20’s. Choices I made. Relationships I destroyed. Lies I told. It felt gross to say those things out loud because they
Everywhere we look, there is pressure to do this or do that or make this and buy that. So much pressure to have a certain kind of experience and the not-so-subtle assertion that anything different is somehow ‘less’. If we don’t do it a certain way, we’ve failed. F that. Sometimes it takes all the
There is something about a fire that draws us in – the magic of flames dancing, the smell of smoke, the permanence of destruction, the finality of turning a once physical and tangible thing to ash and dust. I love my Firepit Fridays – a fun little ritual I host for my fave neighbors where
In the hottest month of the year, in the steamiest Texas summer, I decided to Let It Burn. I declared four full weeks ago that I would be doing a blog and video series identifying all of the things that I feel we need to burn… and then never wrote a word. Never recorded a
Ever felt grief over a loss that isn’t real? Yeah, me too. We’re in the beginning stages of emerging from quarantine where I live. ‘Life’ is opening up: grass is vibrant and green, the sun is out (and so are the buns, hon), and birds are going bananas with their cheerful songs. It all feels
Yesterday was spent navigating multiple conversations around ‘The Virus’ that seems to be overtaking the world. By the end of the day, I admit I was a bit irritated. My patience had worn thin and my level of sarcasm was peaking at an all time high. I’m feeling so many different emotions – irritation, yes.
