I love synchronicity. The very weekend I realized how I was being ableist against myself through striving for neurotypical goals, not meeting them, and then feeling defeated and beating myself up through self sabotage behaviors was an ah ha moment.
Your message resonated with my lived experience of always feeling different and never quite feeling satisfied with my life. Realizing that I can embrace my unique spice and still have success but on my terms and in my time has felt most liberating.
Thank you. Your story helped me feel aligned with my truth as I continue this journey of the evolution of Jennifer. It is okay to pursue my dreams now, in my way, and on my time. 😊 🫶🏻
"The longer you unconsciously adapt to the world, the further your ego disconnects from your soul." This is so spooky because I was JUST journalling about ego (a word I barely use but it just came to me) and I realised my creative self has struggled since being an adult because of shame, fear, and people pleasing. You have put this in words so well and I'm feeling a bit like I was meant to read this rn 🥲 Thank you for this!
I'm headed in the other direction for similar reasons. I've been nothing but beloved and needed mother and unappreciated wife, for 6 years. I fear the impact of losing that beautiful gift of time and calm will have on my babies, but it's built into my plan to preserve as much of that as I can and to get it back one day, if they need it. I feel sadness for all the parents/caregivers of children who never had that time. But the mask that got us there, and the marriage it built, was making it impossible to make those calm hours much more than empty. Thank for sharing this and helping me to cement my understanding of the changes I face as alchemy that will serve all the people I love and who rely on me.
Ahhh, these words were felt so deeply. Thank you for sharing your wisdom through storytelling.✨
It was my pleasure. Thank you for reading.
I needed to see this right now. Thank you. 🥹💚
You're welcome sunshine.

You are on the right path and not alone!
Felt 🩵 and honestly I think most of my work as a therapist is helping people remember who they were before they were told how to be.

"The life I created was holding me back from the life I deserved." Oooof that hits home. I'm glad to be here ❤️
