You'll Learn: When we stop surviving we start reclaiming. We serve not just ourselves, but generations forward.. First call to action: is the significance and art of journaling through guided questions and discusions on various answers.
Topics:
Awareness - notice what doesn’t feel right, name what’s been silent, no shame.
Boundaries - learning how to saying no and meaning it and without an apology. Say yes only when it feels safe, aligned and real. Boundaries aren’t rejection - they're protection.
Self Agency - taking back your voice, even if it shakes. You get to choose, everyday. Speak from truth, not fear.
Compassionate accountability - call yourself in, not out. Make space for your growth and mistakes - both matters. You're not your past decisions - you’re the one who lived through them.
Action - walk your talk in small steps - make the call, set the boundary, take the breathe, write the new narrative.
Change doesn’t show up perfect - it does show up real.
Learning how to implement this into our lives and develop a relationship with self and then others, not others first.
