“When we deny our emotion, it owns us. When we own our emotion, we can rebuild and find our way through the pain“
- Brene Brown

Pain can be inevitable. Maybe you have hurt from a relationship, experienced trauma, are battling addiction, or are struggling with your sense of purpose. Maybe you struggle with low self-esteem, body image , anxiety, or depression. Maybe you feel stuck.

Choosing to be vulnerable by telling your story and having the courage to write new chapters may be the most courageous thing you ever do. It may also be the very thing that helps you find the help and healing you’re looking for.
