In case you hadn't heard, countries all around the world are protesting to support the US during this difficult time. In case you needed a little extra momentum during this tough January.

Empathy is how we will make it through.

Continue to take small steps to explore your emotions, and what's driving them.

Deconstructing trauma and healing takes a little effort many time, and big effort on some days.

But asking the questions to yourself, exploring your past, and giving yourself what you didn't get then.

That's the work

It's amazing how a single action can be seen in so many different lights

What can seem completely justifiable in one person's eyes is a malicious attack or a heartless rejection in another's

Approach with curiosity and identify their intent. Sometimes a duck's a duck, sometimes it's really a goose

Bravery is being scared of the thing, and doing it anyways.

Lately, I've been leaning into more discomfort and plowing through the hard work; bravery is absolutely key for it.

Happy to share and hear others' experiences.

What one does work, we all do work.

People who abused us growing up, while calling it "tough love" & telling us we invited the abuse w/ our behavior or attitude, did a specific kind of damage to our ability to trust & relate to ourselves w/ care. We're not born hating ourselves-- we learn it. We have to unlearn it.
