If this resonates with you, I invite you to join me for my upcoming workshop:
“Letting Go of the Story: Healing Beyond Diagnosis.”
We’ll go step-by-step through the process of uncovering and gently releasing the narratives that keep us stuck—and reconnecting with the parts of ourselves we’ve pushed aside.
Because the truth is, you are more than your diagnosis.
More than your past.
And more than the story you’ve been told.
Healing begins when you believe that.
