“A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.”
~Coco Chanel
Hello Sassy family! Have you ever felt like you had to choose between being who you truly are and going after what you really want?
Coco Chanel’s quote reminds us that a girl isn’t meant to be defined by limitations or expectations, she is meant to boldly become both who she is and everything she desires to be.
The world often tries to separate those two things. It tells you to adjust who you are to fit expectations, or to shrink your desires to stay “acceptable.”
But here’s the truth: you were never meant to divide yourself.
You were created to embody both.
Who you are is your essence. Your identity. Your values. Your voice. It’s the part of you that doesn’t need approval to exist. And yet, this is often the very thing people compromise first.
But when you lose yourself trying to fit into spaces that were never designed for you, you end up chasing goals that don’t even align with your purpose. Staying rooted in who you are keeps you grounded. It reminds you that you are already enough before you achieve anything.
Now let’s talk about what you want, your desires, dreams, and goals. These aren’t random. They’re clues. They point toward purpose, passion, and possibility.
Wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful.
Dreaming bigger doesn’t make you unrealistic.
Going after what sets your soul on fire doesn’t make you selfish.
It makes you aligned.
When who you are and what you want are in alignment, you move differently. You stop performing and start living. You stop chasing validation and start walking in purpose.
You don’t have to dim your light to be accepted.
You don’t have to abandon your desires to be “humble.”
You can be grounded and ambitious.
Authentic and evolving.
Soft and powerful.
You are not too much.
Your dreams are not too big.
And your identity is not up for negotiation.
Be the woman who knows exactly who she is and isn’t afraid to go after exactly what she wants.
Because the moment you stop choosing between the two…
You start fully becoming her.
Reflection Question:
What is one area in your life where you’ve been choosing between who you are and what you want and how can you begin to embrace both?
This week, make one bold move that honors both your identity and your desire. Whether it’s speaking up, starting something new, or letting go of what no longer aligns, choose you, fully.
Stay bold. Stay aligned. Stay sassy.
Live Fearless!
