My journey is woven from the delicate threads of burnout, chronic pain, and the silent ache of over-giving. I’ve spent a lifetime tending to others—placing everyone’s needs above my own, even in moments when I felt like I was unraveling inside. I learned to suffer in silence, making space for others’ comfort while denying my own, never realizing that the power to say no—and to choose myself—had always been within reach. Living with fibromyalgia, ADHD, and the shifting tides of perimenopause, I have felt the invisible weight women carry—and the longing to feel radiant, whole, and deeply seen.
