In this final chapter of her West Virginia series, Colleen shares a mysterious story about her daughter Anna—and what felt like a sign from Laura, reminding them both that their needs matter. Whether coincidence or something more, it revealed a deeper truth: your voice is your lifeline back to yourself.

Choosing to name what you need is not selfish—it’s how you stop living by others’ expectations and start living by your own. When you use your voice, the truths that once ruled you quietly from the shadows lose their power.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Meaning is something you choose—so choose meaning that frees you.

• Suppressed needs harden into self-abandonment.

• Speaking your truth restores trust in yourself.

• Your voice is your freedom—and using it is how you come home to yourself.
