Reclaiming the Parts of Ourselves That Loss and Trauma Stole Along the Way
Lately there’s an inner split I feel happening.
Loss, trauma, and abuse steal us from ourselves.
They force us into survival mode, and so many aspects of self fall away.
It’s been nine years since loss tipped me over and poured me out, and I’m still—almost a full decade later—reclaiming the many parts of myself that ceased to exist the moment I heard that devastating news. The moment I fell to my knees under the weight of grief and was cracked so far open, I was altered at my core in an instant.
I’ve healed so much from that loss and the traumas that followed.
I rebuilt my life, business, body, and self-worth through intentional work.
I moved on and forward and started living more on purpose than ever before.
