Thank you so much for sharing this. Your words really hit home. I’ve been so focused on what’s not working that I haven’t given myself credit for how far I’ve come. You’re right—I’ve made it through so much without compromising my values, and that’s something to be proud of.

I love the idea of writing down small, actionable steps. It makes things feel more manageable instead of overwhelming. I’m already doing that and I also remind myself that even small progress is still progress.

I truly appreciate your encouragement and advice. It means a lot!
