Lately, a lot has been happening in the workplace. There have been some changes, and one of them is that I’ll now be working from home one day a week. Honestly, I think this is going to make a big difference for me—mentally, emotionally, and even physically. Just having a little extra space to breathe, reset, and focus in my own environment feels like a small but powerful step toward better balance.
Today is also a big day for another reason. I have a therapy appointment scheduled, and I’ve been feeling a mix of nerves and hope leading up to it. It’s not easy to open up about past trauma, especially the kind that cuts so deeply. But I’m finally ready to face some of the emotions and tension tied to the sexual abuse I endured as a child.
I know healing doesn’t happen overnight, but this feels like the beginning of something important—a chance to untangle pain I’ve carried for far too long. My hope is that therapy will bring me some peace and help me move forward with a little more lightness and self-compassion.
If you’ve ever been in a place where you’re trying to heal while still showing up for work, family, and life in general—know that you’re not alone. Healing is messy, but it’s also brave.
