This week Destinista wraps up 2021, talks about the lonely part of your healing journey, and stepping into the new version of you! Healing isn't linear and doesn't have a due date. Especially when you're a growth-focused person, you will always look for ways to be better, however, you must recognize when you have become better and own that. If these past 2 years have shown us nothing else it's that even when things go to hell, life keeps going, so fight for yourself and your tomorrow.

Wishing you a lovely holiday season and a spectacular close to 2021. We'll chat with you in February 2022! 

For now, follow the podcast on IG for content and updates @destinistasdepictionsthepod to see what's in store for us.

Stay golden and keep shining!

It's short and sweet but will definitely leave you asking yourself "Am I grateful enough?" Hope the answer is YES! But if not, today's an opportunity to change that around.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
