Last night I couldn’t sleep.


Instead, I went down a rabbit hole—

one that sparked energy, excitement, curiosity, and planning inside of me.

Something shifted.

Something opened.

Something I didn’t even know was possible until that moment.


Now I know.

And I’m going to do it.


I’m in a beautiful space in my life.


On the outside, not much has changed.

My days look mostly the same.

My world hasn’t dramatically rearranged itself.

But inside me, there have been seismic shifts.


This isn’t just healing.

It isn’t just integration.

It isn’t even transformation.


It’s the manifestation of the happily ever after I’ve written about—

the one I wasn’t sure I’d ever fully feel.


It’s an explosion of vitality, energy, and aliveness unlike anything I’ve experienced before.


There is no comparison between who I am today and who I was a year ago.


No comparison between how I move through the world now and how heavy everything once felt.


I am profoundly grateful to not be in the same place.
