Recovery changes you—but no one talks about how strange it feels to meet yourself on the other side.

Starting anew not because you were broken, but because you are whole.

Recovery, whether from mental illness, addiction, trauma, grief, or burnout is rarely a reset button.

Recovery once gave me structure and identity. But what happens when healing isn’t the whole story anymore?

I’m here. Not thriving. Not crashing. Just… living. Staying. Becoming.

The way you engage with therapy can evolve.

You don’t have to drink the whole ocean to know that it’s salty.

When being authentic feels risky.

Avoiding compliments or chasing them are both coping strategies for insecurity.

You may have been broken, but you were never beyond repair.

Life isn't perfect, but you'll be ok.

How we navigate the rough patches often defines who we become.

Even if you're still arguing with yourself in the shower.

"Change is inevitable. Growth is optional." - John Maxwell

Understanding how you became who you are.
