Life has a funny way of challenging us when we least expect it. From an emergency surgery to navigating uncertain paths, I’ve learned that the key to overcoming obstacles is trusting yourself. In this post, I reflect on how life’s unexpected turns have helped me discover who I truly am, embrace my vulnerabilities, and build the courage to move forward with clarity and purpose. Join me as I share my journey of self-discovery, growth, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who lift you up.

Resilience isn’t just strength—it’s survival. And while it’s shaped us, it’s also exhausted us. After my mom died, people kept telling me how strong I was. But all I could think was: I wish I didn’t have to be.

Instead of praising resilience, remind people they don’t have to be strong. Celebrate their rest as much as their survival. Let them exist without expectation.
