This goes right along with previous post. Change is not the destination but change evolves within our journey. A journey for which we are grateful no matter the speed.

This is so important! We shame ourselves with everything we say we SHOULD do. We shame what we define as 'bad' about us and focus only on what hasn't happened. HONOR and appreciate the small steps we take towards change. It is not the size of the step that matters. Any step is brave.

Being kind to ourselves is often the hardest choice we make. Our journeys are not linear. There are bumps in the road, unexpected curves, and parts we find desolate. But there will be times which offer beauty and peace; parts of the journey in which we smile. All of our varying emotions are valid and important!!

This is so important to read and really hear it! For men and women alike. The time of fire, questioning, doubting can be incredibly difficult and feel as if it will never end. There is absolutely no shame in seeking support in the darker hours. Sometimes you just need help seeing the strength you have to endure because you are gold, you are worth it, and you are ENOUGH just as you are...before and after the trials!

Holding space for my clients every day...

March is a month set aside to honor social work. I am so grateful to be a social worker. I cannot express enough the honor it is to walk a journey with someone through the darkest parts of life. People often ask "how do you do it...listening to problems all day?" I don't listen to problems I listen to stories of strength and resilience all day. And that changes me as much or more than any help I provide.

This is a list to read over and over. Each item listed takes emotional change but with that also comes emotional freedom!
