This quote brings tears and strength to me.
I'm so honored to witness and support the journey of so many healing, beautiful, powerful souls!

You’re not the same person you were when the wound first occurred. You have examined, and stretched, and raged, and cried and you know more now than you did then. You really have worked through A LOT. Almost all of it in fact. And now you can see the key subtleties. You can see ten more reasons it was a blessing. Or the REAL reason you were hurt. Or, best yet, you can now see how truly powerful, loving, loveable, immaculate, and awake you really are.

I'm honored to hear hundreds of birth stories, some painful, some blissful, some healing, some healing needed, some empowered, some empowering in the healing...
All birth stories are important. All are unique.
All birth stories can be the corner stone of the most essential ride of passage.

Beautifully put.
