Closed Mouths Don’t Get Fed
You weren’t born to be quiet about your desires.
You weren’t sent here to play small, shrink your needs, or convince yourself that crumbs are a full-course meal.
We’re taught early on to not be “too much.” To keep our heads down. To be grateful for what we have, even if what we have is barely scratching the surface of what we know we’re capable of experiencing. And while gratitude is powerful, it should never be confused with self-abandonment.
You’re allowed to want more.
In fact, I believe you should want more.
From your relationships. From your finances. From the way the universe supports you.
Because here’s the truth: desire is not a weakness, it’s a compass.
The dreams that live inside you are not random. They exist because a version of you has already touched them. And when you don’t speak up, don’t ask, don’t claim what’s yours… you block the flow.
Think about it. When you don't ask the universe for more, you're saying, "This is all I believe I'm worthy of."
When you don’t raise your standards in love, you’re saying, "This is all I think I can get."
When you keep quiet about your needs, you’re telling life, "I’ll just take what I’m given."
But closed mouths don’t get fed.
Not in business. Not in romance. Not in purpose.
The people who experience expansion are the ones who are brave enough to ask for it, again and again.
Ask Boldly. Receive Fully.
This isn’t about entitlement. It’s about energetic alignment.
If you want big love, ask for it.
If you want financial freedom, ask for it.
If you want deep friendships, luxurious experiences, a career that lights your soul on fire, ask.
Asking doesn’t always mean praying or journaling. Sometimes it means walking away from what’s “almost” right. Sometimes it’s being direct with the man you’re dating, the job you’re working, or even yourself. Sometimes it’s setting boundaries that say: “I’m no longer available for less.”
A closed mouth is usually protecting itself.
From disappointment. From rejection. From hearing no.
But here’s what nobody talks about enough: every time you stay silent, you guarantee a no.
You owe it to the version of you that’s waiting on the other side of courage to open your mouth.
Ask. Claim. Receive.
Your Growth Mindset Reminder
You are not behind.
You are not asking for too much.
You are not greedy, unrealistic, or ungrateful.
You are evolving.
And evolution demands clarity.
A person with a growth mindset knows that settling is a form of self-sabotage disguised as “acceptance.”
They know that desire is not about being dissatisfied. It’s about refusing to stop growing.
So no, this blog isn’t just about “speaking up.”
It’s about reclaiming the version of you who knows she’s magnetic. Deserving. Expansive.
It’s about being unapologetic in your standards and grounded in your self-worth.
Because closed mouths don’t get fed. But women who ask?
Women who ask change their lives.
I love you.
