I love that you’ve taken everything that’s happened in you life, turned it into wisdom, and now pour your experience and wisdom upon a page for others who may need your words, of quite literally, their salvation from toxic situations!

I feel seen. You validated exactly what went on in my life for years.

This really resonates with me. Some people know how to mask control as concern, and manipulation as love. They twist things so subtly you begin to doubt yourself thinking maybe you were the problem all along. But with time, you learn to trust your spirit more. Genuine care never leaves you confused, drained, or second-guessing your worth.
