This past week took a toll on me in every way possible. It may have been a very short work week, which I’m definitely not complaining about, but emotionally, I feel completely spent today.
This week asked a lot of me… but not all of it was bad.
There were difficult conversations that needed to be had. Opportunities to share my story. Celebrations. Listening. Learning. Embracing.
By last night, I found myself completely exhausted, physically, mentally, and emotionally. A rainy Sunday afternoon was exactly what I needed today to pause, breathe, and recharge.
But it’s moments like this, and all the meaningful moments woven throughout my week, that remind me why I continue to do what I do.
The conversations.
The connections.
The vulnerability.
The people who listen with open hearts.
The reminders that sharing our stories can truly matter.
Receiving this email after a 2.5-hour talk I gave this week meant more to me than I can fully put into words. In the middle of an emotionally heavy week, it reminded me that even the hardest moments can still hold purpose, connection, and comfort.
Here’s to hoping the week ahead brings a little more peace, a little more lightness, and the kind of moments that refill the parts of me this week drained.
