On the brink of tragedy, I’ve learned that emotional wellness needs constant tuning. Just like physical health, it requires attention, maintenance, and compassion.

This journey has shown me that change doesn’t mean starting over—it means uncovering what’s been buried beneath survival and sacrifice. I am constantly changing, and that’s okay. With each new realization, I uncover more of who I’ve always been.

Setting boundaries is not a one-time event—it’s an ongoing practice that requires courage, consistency, and compassion.

What creates toxic caregiving?

Celebrating the time to find, develop, and praise myself for all that I have become.
