If you asked me over the last 20 years about my life's mission, I would tell you that I want to help people get moving in a way that fits their life, not meet a superficial ideal, and do that as  either an army of one or leading an army of many. I never knew one day I would be a solider in my own battle.

 

I had to learn what restarting meant in a way I had never experienced before.  I had to accept that I could not control my journey all the time.  My much resisted voyage to accept that self compassion is not a weakness, but a requirement in the process of personal growth was my greatest challenge outside of a medical recovery that reshaped my identity.

 

My situation may be unique, but the challenges I faced along the way parallel what many others experience in their own hardships. I validate those experiences and share all the mistakes and hard lessons I learned along the way, so they don't have to.
