I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?
Don't become a housewife.

ahhh so you're shown to be capable of recognising that people's trauma can make them act irrationally and unpleasantly! you recognised it in the white man! can you also recognise it in the brown woman? no? she's mean and bitchy and uncaring? i see

How to build healthy ambition when you’re in survival mode 🏆🌀
Typically, people automatically fall into a toxic ambitious cycle from the get, because most of us have lived our life on survival. People pursue entrepreneurship, or become overachievers in their career to prove something they lack to others. To make sure you never struggle financially.. and the list goes on. So how do you build healthy ambition when you’ve spent your entire life living in survival? It’s easy to say “be disciplined,” “stay consistent,” or “just work harder,” but when you’re living in survival mode, everything feels heavier. You’re not lazy, you’re overwhelmed, and ambition feels very different when your nervous system is just trying to feel safe. The goal isn’t to push harder, it’s to build a healthier path forward
When you’re in survival mode, ambition is often driven by pressure. Thoughts like “I have to make it,” “I’m running out of time,” or “I can’t fail” take over. But healthy ambition doesn’t come from fear, it comes from stability. Instead of building from urgency, you start building from a grounded place where you can move step by step. That begins with simple things like getting enough sleep, eating real meals, and creating a basic routine. These aren’t small things, they are the foundation that makes everything else possible. I know I’ve said this a million times, but life shouldn’t have to be hard. The answers can be easy. The simple thing works. This is something you need to start telling yourself, incorporating and trusting. Keep doing difficult things if you must, but give the easy basic things a chance. You’ll see the difference
It’s also important to make your goals smaller on purpose. Big goals can feel overwhelming when you’re already stretched thin, so instead of focusing on the end result, bring it back to small, manageable actions. One post, one idea, one connection. These little wins rebuild trust with yourself, and that trust is what creates real momentum over time
Another shift is learning to regulate yourself before trying to perform. If your body feels anxious, rushed, or drained, your work will reflect that. Taking time to slow down, whether it’s through a walk, silence, or simply breathing more deeply, allows you to create from a place of calm instead of chaos. You don’t produce your best work when you’re overwhelmed, you produce it when you feel steady
You also have to detach your worth from your results. In survival mode, everything feels personal, and failure can quickly turn into “I’m not good enough.” Healthy ambition separates who you are from what you produce. You are not your results, you are the person learning through them, and that mindset makes it easier to keep going without breaking yourself in the process
At the same time, it’s important to remember that you’re building a life, not just chasing an outcome. Toxic ambition sacrifices peace, relationships, and well being in the name of success, but healthy ambition includes those things along the way. It asks what kind of life you want to experience while you’re growing, not just what you want to achieve at the end. The mindset and decision stems from a different perspective from the start. And even if you’ve been living in survival, you can make this decision
Moving without constant urgency is another key part of this. You don’t need to rush to succeed. In fact, rushing often leads to burnout, and burnout leads to quitting. Slow, steady, focused effort is what actually lasts. Consistency will always take you further than intensity that you can’t maintain
Finally, you have to be honest about the season you’re in. You can’t expect yourself to operate at your highest level when you’re barely holding things together, and that doesn’t mean you’re failing. Some seasons are for healing, stabilizing, and rebuilding, while others are for pushing and expanding. Knowing the difference and respecting it allows you to move forward without unnecessary pressure
You don’t need to become someone else to succeed. You don’t need to force yourself into constant urgency or fear. Healthy ambition isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing things from a place that actually supports you. That’s what creates something sustainable, and that’s what truly lasts
