Small Steps. Big Change. Podcast

In honor of 1200 days in recovery. Endlessly grateful for the opportunities I have every single day, and for not constantly being exhausted. Rest is underrated. 😂

I am thankful that I lost you because I found every part of me. 38 months and so many more to go. 🚫🍸

So many people post about their past choices and the pain that these choices have brought to them. I am one of them and believe wholeheartedly that storytelling and vulnerability save lives. HOWEVER, people often forget to take responsibility for their actions and instead favor blaming others.

Well, Spoiler Alert. Until you take ownership for the role you’ve played in your own life, you will never find the peace you are searching for. I’m all about waking up one day and believing that you deserve better, but don’t take the easy way out and blame others. Long term healing begins when we take responsibility for our actions, evaluate why we made certain choices (including acknowledging the environments we were in and the people we were around), and eventually use these moments to lay down a new foundation. But none of it happens without taking personal responsibility. Because the reality is, rebuilding is not failing, however, simply renovating when the foundation is unstable is only a temporary fix. Unsettled pain will only further your trauma in the long run. Rip the band-aid off and heal the wound. It will free you from the past and allow you to authentically rebuild. Because there is nothing more inspiring than knowing that your past has no power over you.
