Leslie, this is such a moving, raw, and inspiring essay. Thank you for sharing such difficult stories and how you come to see them now. Your growth, wisdom, and self-compassion shines through your writing. I wish that everyone was able to look back and grow stronger from their challenges the way you have. It makes me so happy that you are moving forward with such courage and light.
Jessica, it means a lot to me that you were moved by the piece. Showing compassion for myself has always been hard, but I'm getting better at it slowly, and writing this essay was a big part of it. Thank you for reading, and looking forward to staying connected to you by reading your work!
Leslie I resonate with so much of your piece. It takes a lot of courage to change the way we were taught to hold compassion for ourselves as children. Also, you just sound like a fascinating person who I’d love to know. Glad we connected in the breakout rooms ❤️
Erin, I'm so glad that holding compassion for ourselves was a message that shone through for you. What great fortune that being in the same breakout rooms opened this connection! I've been drawn in by your Substack. What a beautiful layout that exudes fun and your unique creativity! I also love the welcome email you designed for new subscribers. I'd love to keep getting to know you through your writing 😊
