You shouldn't be ashamed of your pain. You have the right to have your pain treated.
There are many paths but only one journey.
Your body hears everything your mind says.
I grew up in a family of secrets; there was a lot of pathology in the family.
I've had women tell me that when their daughters see them taking care of themselves, and being defined from within, and thinking for themselves instead of thinking about that silly culture out there, it's powerful modeling.
Once you start to question your life you get to a higher level of awareness. It's like turning a light on-voila you see you have choices and choices are sacred.
