Lesson 5: When Life Keeps Breaking Your Heart

There are seasons when it’s not just one thing—it’s everything.

The diagnosis.
The breakup.
The silence.
The slow drip of disappointments.
The big, loud, soul-rattling loss.
And then another. And another.

There’s no time to recover. No moment to process. You’re just… functioning.
Because the world doesn’t pause when your heart does.

Maybe you’ve said, “I can’t take one more thing,” and then life gave you one more thing anyway.

This lesson is for that moment.
When your heart feels like glass—cracked, splintered, held together by nothing but willpower and coffee.

Here’s the truth:
You’re still here.
You’re still showing up.
That’s not weakness—it’s endurance.

You don’t need to pretend it doesn’t hurt.
You don’t have to be grateful for the pain to survive it.
And you are not broken—you are breaking open.

Today’s reflection is about honoring the ache without apologizing for it.

🧠 Today’s Reflection Prompt:

What part of my heart has been hurting the longest—and what does it need to hear?

Dorey Duncan Scott Senior Litigation Paralegal

Hi! I’m Dorey Duncan Scott, a mother of three, wife and fashion entrepreneur. I started my career in fashion back in the early 90’s when I did print, still and runway modeling. I studied Fashion Merchandising, Music Business and Marketing, while also obtaining certificates in such industry-necessary areas such as make-up, styling and runway choreography. In addition, I had work as a spokesmodel for several brands, appearing in print and in person. As a former model, turned senior litigation paralegal, artist manager and on-air personality with a passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development, I bring a unique combination of style, strategic thinking, and legal expertise to my work. My years navigating the legal world have sharpened my attention to detail, while my experience and passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development drives my desire to help others feel empowered and help them in their journey toward self-empowerment. My experience in the fashion world has taught me the power of confidence.
