Whether you’re falling out of the shower and taking the whole rod down late at night or your dealing with the most ridiculous situations with your abuser and/or their supporters, there is strength in laughing with yourself.

Seasons of grief drag on and on, while joy feels like just a glance. But this season is not forever, and one day you will smile and look back knowing this moment is no longer anything but a memory.

You can feel torn between believing good things should happen when you do the right thing and what you experience. What do you do when hard begets hard instead of better?

In abuse, someone is hell-bent on making you miserable and breaking down your sense of self. We’re going to take it back, love ourselves, and choose happy.

Choose what makes you happy. In abuse, you experience sadness and frustration and fear. It’s time to choose your happy.

Frustration turned in on yourself is so damaging. Abuse is not your fault. It’s time to stop blaming yourself.

Your welcome emotions are like a chain link. In abuse, you suppressed them. But now it’s time to reconnect.

Metamorphosis is messy and it sucks hard. But when you’re recovering from abuse: this is normal. You’re not alone, and we’re walking this journey together.

It’s time to unpack your emotional suitcase. Enduring an abusive relationship is like a trying to take a vacation and instead ending up in your own personal hell. There’s gonna be baggage, but that’s ok. We’re gonna unpack it together. You’re not alone.

It’s time to check in with ourselves and be honest in facing our emotions. In acknowledging the instinct and feelings we’ve buried, we can start to heal.
