After years of blindly following diagnoses and trusting experts, I hit a wall. This was my wake-up call, my turning point, where I realized that my mental health was in my hands. I opened my eyes to the healing power of self-compassion, and it has been a game-changer. In this episode, I share my personal journey, weaving through the complexities of mental illness, the power of self-forgiveness and the importance of understanding my triggers. 

I learned the hard way, but it's a path I wouldn't change, as it led me to a place filled with grace and acceptance. I share the ups and downs, the setbacks, and the small victories that have shaped my new normal. This isn't a race; it's a journey filled with lessons and insights on wellness and the importance of self-compassion. My story may resonate with many of you, and I hope it brings solace and encouragement. Remember, it's perfectly okay not to be okay and to carve your path at your own pace, granting yourself the grace you so deserve.
