When He’s Doing Better Than Us:
A Sisterhood Reality Check
That moment — you know the one — when you see him out there, glowing, thriving, doing better than you ever thought possible. And suddenly, the doubts start creeping in, whispering, “Was it really good to let him go?” Because in your heart, you thought you made the right call. You thought you were strong enough to walk away. But bam, there he is, proving you wrong, showing up like he’s winning at life while you’re still figuring out your next move.
But here’s the truth, sisters: his glow-up isn’t a reflection of our failure. It’s just a reminder that life keeps moving, and so do we. We loved him, we lost him, and now we’re watching him prove us wrong — but that’s not our story anymore. Our story is about reclaiming our power, our peace, and our joy. It’s about knowing that our worth isn’t tied to anyone else’s success or failure. We are whole, exactly as we are.
For us, the sisterhood, this is the real deal: when the “what ifs” start to haunt us, when the “maybe I messed up” thoughts try to take over, we lean on each other. We rise together. We remind each other that we are not alone in this journey.
Here’s our sisterhood survival kit for those moments when the shadow of doubt tries to dim our light:
Feel it, then release it. It’s okay to feel the sting, the jealousy, the sadness. Cry it out, journal it, scream it into your pillow. But don’t let those feelings move in and set up camp. They’re visitors, not permanent residents in our hearts.
Celebrate every win — yours and ours. Big or small, every step forward counts. Did you get out of bed today? That’s a win. Did you say no to something that didn’t serve your soul? Win. We’re building new paths, together.
Lean on your tribe. Call your sisters, your ride-or-die crew. Share your truth, laugh, cry, and remind each other that we’re stronger together. We hold space for one another’s pain and celebrate each other’s growth.
Flip the script. Instead of “I lost him,” say “I found me.” Because the real glow-up is our soul shining brighter than ever before. We’re rewriting our stories with courage and grace.
Set your boundaries like the queens we are. Protect your energy fiercely. No room for comparisons, no space for toxic nostalgia. We guard our peace like the treasures they are.
Remember, the universe has a way of showing us what’s meant for us — and what’s not. His success isn’t our failure. Our time is coming, and it’s going to be even better than we dreamed.
So sisters, keep rising, keep shining, and keep loving yourself like the fierce goddesses we are. We got each other, always. This is our season — our glow-up season.
