Why I’m Confused About Love (and What It’s Trying to Tell Me)

Have you ever sat across from someone you care about — or been in a room full of friends — and felt this nagging question in your heart:

“If I love them…why do I feel so unhappy, unseen, or unsure?”

I have. So many high-achieving, capable women like you.

Outwardly, life looks great. Inside? Confusion and doubts wondering 'what is love'?

A whisper that feels like “Something is missing.”

Let’s unpack why love can feel so confusing — and what that confusion may really be pointing to.

1. If we Learned Love as Performance

From a young age, many of us absorbed the message that love is something we earn: by being good, achieving more, or keeping everyone happy.

That’s why you might find yourself:

- Saying yes when you want to say no.

- Trying to “fix” everything before anyone notices.

- Measuring your worth by how others respond to you.

It’s emotionally exhausting. And it makes love feel like something you’re always at risk of loosing.

2. When we Confuse Safety with Love

Here’s the kicker: feeling safe and feeling loved are not always the same thing.

If you grew up learning to hide your feelings to keep the peace, love might now feel like self-abandonment. You’re safe from conflict, but not connected.

That’s why you might:

- Hold back your true feelings.

- Avoid asking for what you need.

- Stay “busy” instead of being present.

Deep down, you want closeness — but the way you’ve learned to “do love” actually pushes it away.

3. Love Without Self-Connection Isn’t Sustainable

Here’s the truth most women never hear: You can’t feel real love if you’re cut off from yourself. When you are:

- Numbing your feelings with overthinking or busyness,

- Running on autopilot,

- Or putting everyone else’s needs above your own…

…it will always feel like love is missing, because YOU are missing from the equation.

Here's The Question That Changes Everything, Because it Changes our Perspective:

Instead of asking, “Why am I so confused about love?” try asking:

“What is my motivation right now—fear or love?”

Fear motivates us to hide, perform, or control.
Love motivates us to connect, express, and honor who we truly are.

This single shift opens the door to more authentic connection — the kind where you feel safe being fully yourself.

What Your Confusion Might Really Mean.

If love feels confusing to you right now, it’s not because anything is wrong or broken.

It’s more likely your heart & soul encouraging you to:

✨ “Stop abandoning yourself.”

✨ “Come back home.”

✨ “Know there’s a deeper happiness waiting for you.”

Your confusion is not the end of the story - it’s the beginning of a new one — one where you honor your body’s signals, your emotions, and your true needs.

I know what it’s like to sit in that fog of doubt and wonder if you’ll ever feel the love and happiness you long for. I’ve been there too.

But here’s the beautiful truth: when you stop abandoning yourself and begin connecting with your body, your emotions, and your deepest needs, love stops being confusing. It becomes clear, steady, and real.

💌 If this resonates, I’d love to walk alongside you as you take that next step. Because you can live a life where you feel deeply loved — starting from the inside out.

Top 5 Things That Truly Matter in Relationships and Life

Have you ever had one of those moments where life suddenly goes in slow motion? Or have you ever seen 2 versions of your life flash before you — and you have to choose which one you want— and you wonder:

“Am I focusing on what really matters?”

It’s a question many high-achieving women wrestle with. We pour ourselves into careers, homes, and endless lists of responsibilities. We show up for everyone else, ticking every box, only to realize somewhere along the way… we’ve lost touch with ourselves.

So let’s pause together and name five things that matter most — the ones that bring real happiness, deep connection, and peace that lasts.

1. Feeling at Home in Yourself

At the heart of everything is you. Not the polished version others see, but the raw, real woman who longs to feel steady, worthy, and enough.

Without self-connection, even the best relationship feels shaky. But when you learn to trust yourself, listen to your body, and honor your needs, love stops being conditional. It flows naturally.

Ask yourself: Do I spend a great deal more time pleasing others than being at peace with myself?

2. Connection That Feels Safe and True

We’re wired for love, but so often we confuse “keeping the peace” with being loved. True connection doesn’t require shrinking, silencing, or proving.

It’s about showing up as you are — messy, brilliant, imperfect — and knowing you’ll still be held. Relationships thrive when honesty replaces perfection, and when love means, “I see you, all of you, and I’m staying.”

3. Health That Fuels Joy, Not Just Survival

Nutrition. Movement. Rest. These aren’t luxuries — they’re foundations. Yet for many women, they’re the first to go when life gets busy.

Think about it: how much more patient, loving, and present do you feel after a full night’s sleep compared to another night of tossing, turning, and overthinking?

Your body isn’t a machine to push harder. It’s a home to nurture, because when your body feels cared for, your spirit shines.

4. Purpose Beyond Performance

Here’s a quiet truth: endless achievements won’t fill the ache for meaning.

What matters isn’t how much you’ve accomplished but whether it aligns with your soul. Did you create something that felt true? Did you live in a way that reflected your deepest values?

Purpose is not about doing more. It’s about choosing differently — honoring what makes your life feel alive.

5. Moments That Make You Feel Alive

In the end, it’s not the emails, the checklists, or even the perfectly balanced dinner plates we remember.

It’s the laughter that bubbles up uncontrollably. The conversation that goes late into the night. The hug that lingers. The moment you looked in the mirror and thought, I like who I am becoming.

These are the treasures. And the good news? They’re available in everyday life, once you stop running on autopilot.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, disconnected, or unsure what really matters, maybe it’s not that you’ve failed. Maybe it’s simply that you’ve been focusing everywhere but inward.

The truth is: what matters most is already within you — waiting for you to pause, listen, and honor it.

💌 You don’t need to do this alone. When you stop abandoning yourself and start reconnecting to your body, emotions, and needs, happiness and love stop being a struggle. They become your way of living.
