What are you struggling with in your work to become a better person?

In our journey toward healing and growth, it’s easy to fall into the trap of expecting ourselves to get everything right the first time. But real change isn’t about perfection—it’s about taking small, consistent steps forward, even when things feel messy or slow. Every moment of self-awareness, every boundary set, every pause before reacting counts as progress. Some days will feel easier than others, but all days are part of the process. We celebrate the effort, the courage to keep going, and the lessons learned along the way. Remember: perfection isn’t the goal—showing up for yourself and honoring your growth is.
