Hello, my beautiful community,

It’s Abby here—and today, I want to let you into something deeply personal. It’s a phrase, a heartbeat, and honestly, a survival rope that has carried me through the toughest seasons of my life:

If I could, you can too.

Those six words have been my anchor, my reminder, and my gentle Personal nudge to keep going when everything around me felt overwhelming. And now, I want to pass this mantra on to you.

Because here’s the truth: life doesn’t hand any of us an easy script. Each of us faces struggles visible or invisible that test our strength. But I believe with all my heart that no matter what you’re facing, you have what it takes to rise.

So today, I’m sharing my Personal story, my lessons, and why I know if I could, you can too.

My Backstory: Why This Mantra Matters

There was a season in my life when I felt completely defeated. You know those moments when nothing seems to work? I was exhausted, broke in spirit, and questioning whether my dreams were even worth pursuing.

I looked around and felt like everyone else was soaring while I was stuck, wings clipped. It felt unfair. But instead of quitting, I decided to do something different—I leaned into the pain. I embraced the fact that my Personal journey would look different, but it was still mine to own.

It wasn’t overnight. It wasn’t pretty. But step by step, I kept reminding myself: If others could rise from their lowest moments, why not me?

And that’s when my mantra was born: If I could, you can too.

Why This Mantra Is Universal

You might be thinking, “Abby, your struggles aren’t my struggles.” And you’re right—we all have unique battles. But what makes this Personal mantra universal is the truth behind it: resilience is in all of us.

Maybe your challenge is financial stress. Maybe it’s heartbreak. Maybe it’s juggling work and family while trying to keep a piece of yourself intact. Whatever it is, the principle stands: if one woman can push through her storm, then you too carry the strength to overcome yours.

Lesson 1: Start Where You Are, Not Where You Wish You Were

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is, “I’ll start when I have it all together.”

But here’s what I learned: waiting for perfect conditions is another way of postponing your life.

When I started, I didn’t have fancy tools, big platforms, or perfect clarity. What I had was willingness. And willingness is enough to ignite the spark.

top waiting for everything to align. Begin now with what you have, from where you are.

Lesson 2: Consistency Beats Motivation

Here’s the raw truth: I wasn’t always motivated. Some days, I cried through the work. Other days, I procrastinated. But what kept me moving was consistency, not fleeting bursts of motivation.

Personal Motivation is emotional. It comes and goes. But consistency? It builds momentum, even when the fire feels dim.

So, my dear sisters, stop waiting to “feel ready.” Start building Personal routines that carry you forward even when motivation slips away.

Lesson 3: Failure Is Feedback, Not Final

When I tell you I failed, I mean I really failed. Failed businesses. Failed relationships. Failed attempts at chasing my dreams. And each time, I thought: This is it, Abby. Maybe you’re not cut out for this.

But here’s what I eventually realized: failure isn’t final, it’s feedback. Each closed door, each disappointment, each “no” taught me something I couldn’t have learned otherwise.

Now, I don’t see failure as shameful, I see it as redirection.

So next time something Personal doesn’t work out, pause and ask: What is this teaching me?

Lesson 4: Community Lifts You Higher

If I could give you only one piece of advice, it would be this: don’t walk alone.

There were times I thought being strong meant doing everything solo. But when I opened up to the right people, mentors, friends, my community; I discovered something powerful: support multiplies strength.

This Personal mantra—If I could, you can too—isn’t just about me cheering you on. It’s about all of us lifting one another. Because together, we are stronger.

Surround yourself with people who remind you of your Personal power, not your limits.

Lesson 5: Celebrate Small Wins

Here’s a confession: I used to ignore my Personal progress because I was so focused on the “big goal.” I’d achieve something, then quickly move on, barely acknowledging it.

But this mindset robbed me of joy. What shifted everything was learning to celebrate every step—big or small.

Finished a tough week? Celebrate it. Saved a little money? Celebrate it. Took one baby step toward your dream? Celebrate it.

Because here’s the truth: success is a series of small, consistent victories that add up to transformation.

How You Can Apply This Mantra

I don’t want this to just be my Personal story; I want it to be your rallying cry too. Here’s how you can weave If I could, you can too into your daily life:

1. Write it down. Place it somewhere you’ll see it often—your mirror, your journal, your phone wallpaper.
2. Say it aloud. Speak it when you’re scared, tired, or doubting yourself. Words have power.
3. Use it to encourage others. When a sister, friend, or colleague feels like giving up, remind them: If I could, you can too.
4. Anchor it to action. Each time you repeat it, take one small step forward, no matter how tiny.

This mantra isn’t just motivational fluff—it’s a tool for resilience.

Final Reflection: My Heart to Yours

Community, I’m not sharing this because I’ve “arrived” or because life is suddenly perfect. I still face challenges. I still have doubts. But this mantra—If I could, you can too—keeps me grounded in possibility.

I’m living proof that resilience can carry you from your lowest moments to your rising seasons. And I want you to believe the same for yourself.

So when the weight feels heavy, when the road feels lonely, when you question your strength—remember these words. Let them echo in your spirit.

If I could, you can too.

And trust me, you can.
