Chapters

There I was, all alone, not knowing what to do with my new life, my new career. I'm a mom with young kids with no resources or support system. And I was like, oh, my God, like, talk about that rock bottom moment. I. I was like, wait, I should know how to help myself. And also, I almost slipped into this thing called analysis paralysis, because this is where the outside in thing all happened. Because I did what I taught and I preached, I did the work. Like, I went to therapy, I sought out my friends for support, and it was all really super helpful.
