Year in Review

This was a rough year. I went through a lot of personal growth, and made some realizations and hard choices. It’s a complicated road discovering that sometimes people don’t show up for you the way you do.

I grieved a lot this past year. I lost my job, which felt like a break up, and realizing who’s there in the good times and the bad makes all the difference. Being able to take care of myself and do some internal core work has been so inspirational to me.

In the middle of it all I’ve had some really great moments and loved watching my family grow, strengthen, and truly come together.

... Read moreAs we transition into a new year, it's an opportune time to reflect on the highs and lows of the past. Many face challenges like job loss, which can feel devastating as it often comes with a sense of personal failure. However, such experiences can also catalyze profound personal growth. Finding strength during difficult times involves understanding the importance of supportive relationships. It's crucial to recognize who genuinely stands by you during both good and less favorable moments. Building one's self-care routine and engaging in consistent internal work can lead to significant breakthroughs and self-discovery. This past year highlighted the value of family support and love during hard times. Cherishing moments of togetherness can uplift spirits and instill hope. As we immerse ourselves in a new year, let's carry forward the lessons learned about resilience, self-awareness, and the power of connections. Embracing change while acknowledging our emotional responses plays an essential role in our journeys. Acknowledging grief, whether it's about a relationship, job, or other losses, allows for deeper healing and personal growth. Remember, every experience shapes who we are and propels us towards a better version of ourselves.
