There were so many moments, big and small, that taught me how to keep going.
The little one who learned early that being quiet and agreeable was safer than being seen.
The nurturing grandma with steady hands.
The smile to find safety in an uncertain world. The pressure to hold it together. The need to keep everything just so.
Those moments shaped how I show up today not with perfection, but with compassion. For myself. For families. For children who are doing their best with the nervous systems they have.
So much of what we carry is invisible.
AND it is part of who we are and how we walk through the world.
