You’re tired of feeling stuck, irritable, and like you’re pulling away to self-preserve. Maybe you’re worn down from being bullied by a harsh inner critic that keeps you either stuck in indecision and self-doubt or numb and shut down. Externally, you’re dependable and have it together. Inside, you're running on empty from keeping up the act, feeling more alone, invisible, and hopeless. Maybe you’ve prioritized your family, your job, or survival.
