My Woes

HealingLife Experiences
Written By WhyNetta

September was hard for me.

Honestly, August and September drained me mentally and spiritually.

August marked the first anniversary of Ms. Carrie Jacobs’ passing—a woman who treated me like her daughter.

And September…

That’s always been heavy.

It’s my great-grandmother’s birthday month.

This year, those two losses collided.

I visited both of their resting places, hoping to feel whole again.

But instead…

I felt like a little girl who missed her mother.

Both of them. 

With everything going on in my life, I just wanted them.

I wanted reassurance.

I wanted comfort.

I cried so much that night I woke up with a migraine.

But strangely…

I felt better.

Because I finally released what I had been holding in.

I let go of guilt.

Of things I couldn’t change.

And I realized something:

Their love never left me.

It’s still here.

Guiding me.

Shaping me.

Helping me move forward.

To both of my angels…

Rest in peace.

I’m WhyNetta—the woman behind Life With No Breaks.

I didn’t set out to build a platform. I set out to survive, to heal, and eventually, to understand myself more honestly.

For many years, my life revolved around being strong for everyone else—raising children, holding things together, and navigating relationships that required me to shrink in order to keep the peace. After experiencing narcissistic abuse and the unraveling that followed, I reached a point where continuing as I was simply wasn’t an option. Healing became a necessity, not a trend.

Life With No Breaks grew out of that season—not from perfection, but from reflection. It became a place where I could process real life in real time: parenting, rebuilding stability, breaking generational cycles, managing fear and faith side by side, and learning how to choose myself without guilt. Writing and speaking became tools for clarity, accountability, and growth—not just for me, but for others walking similar paths.

Today, I approach life with more intention and less urgency. I believe in growth that’s honest, faith that’s grounded, and healing that doesn’t require performance. I’m still learning, still rebuilding, and still choosing better—one decision at a time.

This space is a reflection of that journey.
