Rooted & Rising

Some of my biggest challenges are:

🌱 1. Healing While Still Having to Survive

Because I am going through some  deep emotional healing while also:

• Working multiple jobs
• Parenting a teenager
• Managing financial pressure
  This creates exhaustion because there’s very little space to rest. Healing takes energy, yet survival demands it too.

🧠 2. Rewiring Trauma Responses

After years of emotional, physical, and relational trauma, my nervous system has learned to:

• Stay alert
• Overthink
• Brace for impact

Even when life is calmer now, my body still responds as if danger is present. I am Learning to feel safe and it is one of the hardest challenges after long-term trauma.

❤️ unlearning self blame and over responsibility

I was conditioned to:

• Fix others
• Carry emotional weight that was never mine
• Put all my needs last

Now the challenge is allowing myself to:

• Choose ME without guilt
• Let others manage their own lives
• Believe I am worthy of peace, not just endurance
