The hard things we go through tend to overshadow all the good; there are so many glimmers of joy in the people, places, and things that remind us how wildly capable we are.

* Disclaimer - This is the raw, unedited version of my story, on purpose. I wanted the audience to hear the truth in all it's authentic glory. Call to Action:

1) Create a life milestone timeline - think of the things that helped to shape you;

2) Find the joy in those moments and make sure to include those too!

3) Do a road map exercise - sharing your story with someone you know and trust

4) Don't be afraid to talk to a therapist of counselor to help navigate through the hardships of life.
