The Journey

Who are you? Who do you want to be? I had no idea. I thought I did, but really I didn’t. I was too broken. Too busy surviving to think about it. I was emotionally broken. I had an eating disorder that I then replaced with a questionable relationship with alcohol. I did not know how to sit with feelings. I thought I had to be perfect. I believed that when I got married, or graduated or insert whatever arbitrary milestone you want here, that I could start to live. That I could be happy. That it would all change and make sense.

I couldn’t sit in my own skin. I hated myself, so I pushed and focused on the next goal. What I realized was that, until I could love me and accept myself, I would never be content. This is a true work in progress, but I can tell you that I have learned a lot along that way. Things that, I hope, will help you in your own journey.

And one thing that has continued to surprise me is that we can never get too comfortable. Because life has a way of showing up and rocking us to our core. Sometimes all it takes is one person to change things for the better or for worse. We will explore this as well. I will share stories of how one moment changed everything. How do you navigate those moments?

Welcome to the journey of discovery. My hope is that these words help you become Fearlessly Found. We need to be fearless as we navigate this journey of discovery. View it as collecting data, figuring out what works for you or what doesn’t. Learn, grow and above all be grateful that we get to do this.
