My Rock Bottom Didn't Make Me Quit
Hi Friend,
Transitions are hard.
My firstborn has always known this. As a toddler, she fell apart every single day going from daycare to home. She cried when her college semester ended. She cried when we left Maui. And right now, she's crying because she's going back to school.

Here's a question I've been sitting with:

Doing it Scared
Here's something I've stopped pretending isn't true:

Not ready to have the hard conversation. Not ready to leave the job. Not ready to walk across the stage. Not ready to look honestly at the wine bottle, or the nightly pour, or the way you've been quietly negotiating with yourself for years.
You're waiting to feel ready. I get it. I waited too.
The problem is that "ready"...
