Finding our tribe



 Why is it so important to find your tribe of women who get you? Here's a piece of my story... For most of my life, I felt a loneliness that never seemed to go away. It started in childhood, probably a result of feeling disconnected from the other family members in the house. I was the sensitive child living in an environment that never felt safe. Then the feelings of isolation and self-preservation spilled over into my adult life. Early on, I adopted the role of being the "caretaker/codependent". The problem was that I was too wounded to know what I needed, let alone others. It's been a journey finding the missing pieces of myself. But thankfully, recovery gave me a safe place to begin to heal and in essence, no longer feeling alone...
