I believe there resides, in each of us, the need to be fully seen, fully heard, and fully loved. Developing our highest self requires we be present, mindful, and authentic—it means choosing to live life on purpose and with intention. Why is it so difficult to get there, and harder still to sustain? Many reasons: trauma, difficult families, messy relationships, ill-fitting careers, illness, distorted perceptions, bad habits, financial worries, toxic mindsets, transitions, aging—in other words, LIFE. Life happens. The result is a process that is often uncomfortable and leaves us physically and emotionally changed and worn.

Life often feels like a series transitional periods and sudden changes happening all at once. It can be overwhelming, confusing and, sometimes, lonely. It is the way we move through those times in life that matters, and there is no shame in searching for support. As women, we often feel we must have every piece of life together and when one piece goes missing from the puzzle, we feel as though we have failed each step of the way. Little do we know, there is always hope.
