I’m not a doctor or professional healer. I’m simply someone who believes in the power of sharing what helps us move through difficult seasons.

There isn’t one way to heal, and what works for one person may not work for another. I believe the important part is finding what brings growth, peace, connection, or a little bit of light.
 

Things That Helped Me Heal

For me, some of those things have been:

• Painting

• Therapy and self-reflection

• Learning how to be alone

• Learning about codependency

• Setting boundaries and learning to choose myself

• Letting myself actually feel my emotions

• Self-compassion

• Connecting with nature

• Music

• Journaling

• Walking

• Spending time with safe, supportive friends

• Letting go of what I can’t control

• Taking things one day at a time

• Keeping going, even when it was hard
   

You don’t have to do everything on this list. Find what makes you feel more like yourself. Find what brings you a little light.

Start there.
 

If there’s something that has helped you along the way—a person, resource, practice, book, idea, or simply something you’ve learned—I’d love to hear about it and, with your permission, share it with the collective.

We don’t have to heal alone.
