You are somewhere between two worlds.   The old world is familiar. You know how it works. It might be the type of love relationship You have always known, the predictable W-2 job, the way You relate to Your family, Your friendships, or simply the expectations You grew up with about how Life is supposed to look.   Then something triggers Your...]]></description><link>https://www.sabrinagarcia-hiyd.com/post/between-two-worlds</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a8b973921368453a749d7bc</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:08:16 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/205707_b90d2b8a77e8462185ba9183ab68872d~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sabrina Garcia</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Understand Your Anger]]></title><description><![CDATA[Anger is a powerful emotion. Often, behind Your anger lies something deeper - a desire, need, value, or goal that feels unmet, threatened, or blocked.   Most people think being angry is bad, wrong, and needs to be avoided or hidden.   Growing up, I learned that anger was something I needed to suppress and control quickly. I never really learned how to understand or work with it. That followed me into my 20s, where I reacted impulsively and said things that hurt those around me.   The truth...]]></description><link>https://www.sabrinagarcia-hiyd.com/post/understand-your-anger</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a79efcdecb2cb929ff6b25a</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Aug 2026 16:05:44 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/205707_51ed41ad26c64f9b97093841dff8c75d~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sabrina Garcia</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Happens After the Caterpillar Becomes a Butterfly?]]></title><description><![CDATA[I spent years asking for freedom - emotional, financial, and ultimately spiritual. For me, solid ground means predictability. Before moving to the United States, I had a stable income, a long-term relationship, and lived in Germany, where I understood the culture and how Life worked there. When I moved here, I gave up most of that ground. My job, my relationship, my home country, and the culture I was familiar with. Since being here, I’ve also learned not to hold on to situations simply...]]></description><link>https://www.sabrinagarcia-hiyd.com/post/what-happens-after-the-caterpillar-becomes-a-butterfly</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a78fd247e238b0b8ae4610c</guid><pubDate>Sun, 09 Aug 2026 22:33:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/205707_77fda9456c9840679319b3fa5a5458bb~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sabrina Garcia</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acceptance Is Not Stagnation]]></title><description><![CDATA[In my teenage years and throughout my 20s, I felt insecure about my body and my looks. I didn’t feel feminine or attractive, and I saw myself as obese, even though I wasn’t. I judged myself for the way I looked, what I ate, and for knowing what would be good for me and still not doing it. The more frustrated I became with myself, the more I ate to feel better. The less energy I had, the less I wanted to move. Then I judged myself again. I was stuck in a cycle.   At that time, I listened to...]]></description><link>https://www.sabrinagarcia-hiyd.com/post/acceptance-is-not-stagnation</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a70fa27db6c19f1c2b9ad72</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2026 20:38:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/205707_83b348dfd4034bdbaeb30601efc4e3d1~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sabrina Garcia</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Do I Only Take Action Under Pressure?]]></title><description><![CDATA[For years, I performed best under pressure. I pushed my limits over and over to get through difficult situations, feeling completely exhausted afterwards and afraid that the situation would happen again. When an exam was coming up, I was able to focus best. When money became tight, I worked harder. When circumstances became difficult, I found a solution. When there was no other option, I took action. And because I repeatedly proved that I could perform under pressure, my system started...]]></description><link>https://www.sabrinagarcia-hiyd.com/post/why-do-i-only-take-action-under-pressure</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a6ff932992d9bc1dbeb6c26</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2026 02:32:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/205707_942a0df76ff24e04b9096a3f39f426c8~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_900,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sabrina Garcia</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loneliness and (the Feeling of) Belonging]]></title><description><![CDATA[Being alone and feeling lonely are two different things. Being alone simply means no one is physically with You. You can be alone and feel completely content. You can also lie next to Your partner or be surrounded by people and feel deeply lonely.   I thought the solution to loneliness was belonging to someone or being part of a community.   Then I became part of a wonderful Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community. I had great people around me, made close friends, and knew there were people who...]]></description><link>https://www.sabrinagarcia-hiyd.com/post/how-to-stop-feeling-lonely</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a6ec62584c6b27b07831c31</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Aug 2026 04:26:29 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/205707_f56dcc4896e64caa80810ee7829bc600~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_828,h_570,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sabrina Garcia</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop Consuming. Start Creating.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Personal growth has been a huge part of my Life since leaving my 13-year relationship in 2020. I read books, listened to podcasts, studied whatever topic caught my attention, and reflected a lot. All of this helped me understand myself better and see Life from different perspectives. Yet I still wasn’t happy. I still wasn’t where I wanted to be despite all that input.   One of my coaches asked a question that honestly scared me:   Who would You be if You stopped learning? No books.

Was I simply born impatient? Would patience come naturally as I got older? Or was there actually something I could do to become more patient?   One of the greatest insights I gained from one of my spiritual mentors was that patience is deeply connected to letting go of control.   Life is like being on a sailboat. You cannot control the water. You cannot control the wind. You cannot control the weather. What You can control...]]></description><link>https://www.sabrinagarcia-hiyd.com/post/let-go-of-control</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a6eb6a8879f0041e5068f3a</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Aug 2026 03:20:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/205707_3a877a1f4eb64e39b07ceba198570c21~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Sabrina Garcia</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Power of Showing Up for Yourself]]></title><description><![CDATA[After moving from my home country Germany to the States in 2023, I hoped that something would happen to finally make Life easier. A well-paid job that would allow me to pay off my debts without constantly worrying about money. A partner who would meet my needs and take away the feeling of loneliness. A mentor who would guide me through my business journey and tell me which decisions were correct.   Wanting support is completely fine. There are many people who want to help You.

From the outside, they looked great. That’s what made the decisions so difficult. Staying would have been easier. I could have enjoyed the comfort and stopped questioning whether it was truly the Life I wanted. Yet every day I tolerated what didn’t feel aligned with my core values and beliefs, I pushed aside another small piece of myself.
