I am laughing so hard at how messy this episode was and am appreciating how much I needed to give myself the permission to do so! I encourage you to give yourself permission to be messy with something, anything today. Your ego will get over it, promise.
From this episode:
I know how much it hurts to not be where you want to be right now. I know how much it hurts to look back at videos and pictures or just memories of yourself and things you have been capable of that you are not able to do now and may never be.
It is heartbreaking to understand and realize that your life will never be what it once was. And, my friend, that is the beauty of this journey—getting to explore and know yourself and love yourself in every new version, even when it looks drastically different than you want it to be.
This whole cycle of grief and acceptance is such a nonlinear thing. If you're ready to go inward, I encourage you, I invite you to sit with these questions for yourself…
How can I be who I want to be in this new version with new capacities and limitations?
Where can I find possibilities and freedom within this new version of myself?
And maybe you can even notice what you've gained because of your illnesses and disabilities. That's something I'll be reflecting on here, whether on the podcast or the publication, quite soon.
I would love for you to share your reflections with me in the comments or send me a DM. Wishing you the day you need 💖
