I grew up in a family where no one talked about their feelings.
Everything was swept under the rug.
It wasn't until I started on a path of recovery that I began to understand...
...that this wasn't healthy.
At first, I felt shame...
...talking about how I felt.
I wasn't used to exposing my deeper thoughts.
I feared others would judge me...
...but no one did.
Being free to talk about my emotions opened the door
...to a whole new way of life.
I will never again...
....suppress my voice.

I'm always inspired when I hear women's stories.
It takes great courage to be vulnerable.

People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within.
