I am a single mother and have been in and out of emotionally abusive relationships since my first one as a young teenager. I learned about trauma at way too young of an age. I’ve reached out and received support from communities like this one and it’s helped me create healthy boundaries, find discernment for healthy relationships and living the life I was wanting on the inside. I’ve been through getting unexpectedly laid off from my engineering career and turned that into working as the certified professional and personal coach I am now and have been for the last ten years. My past is my story and it doesn’t have power over me. My future is where I’m headed and it also does not have power over me. In this moment today, sometimes by just taking a quick breath, feeling the air in my lungs, I remember who I am and I find my strength. I wish that for you too!
