FIRE! 🔥 Also may I add many of us out here who are progressively healing from past hurts are now finding out who we are and the possibilities we are capable of achieving. For me I am tapping into a new season of confidence and self worth that I was not aware of before. Thanks for sharing Cody!😊

This knocked me off the kitchen stool. Your line, “They call your strength arrogance because your loyalty no longer outranks your clarity” is perfection.

Spoke to me at so many levels. Want to quote every part of it. You’re on fire and so is the collective.

We are not healing to be palatable.

We are healing to become unstoppable. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

This is an incredibly powerful message, and absolutely loved that you read the article. I felt like I could forever-more feel the emotion, and the connection, of what you wrote.

Thank you so much for this - this is IGNITION! 🔥✨

So much power and agency in this piece, in your voice! The more we take back our power and integrate our wounded selves, the more we become free of the narrative that told us a lie about who we are. I find the more out loud I am about 'what happened', the less loaded 'what happened' becomes. Keep sharing! The more you do the more you give us all permission to do likewise and together we break the chains that bind. 🌟👏🏻
