Imagine that when you're born and embark on your journey of life, you are gifted an invisible emotional backpack. And as you walk along your unique path you discover that in your backpack, instead of snacks and a water bottle, you're lugging around rocks. Each one is a memory, a loss, a heartache you've gathered along the way that you weren't taught how to process. They've been piling up since you were little – a childhood pet that crossed the rainbow bridge, a move that took you away from your best friend, not making the soccer team, high school heartbreaks, and goodbyes. Over time this backpack, unseen to others, is weighing you down, making you feel exhausted, stuck in your pain, and longing to somehow feel like you did in the 'good ol' days'.
Now imagine setting that backpack down, feeling the weight lift off your shoulders, allowing you to stretch and breathe deeply again. That's what I'm here for. It's not just about acknowledging the rocks; it's about understanding how to carefully unpack them, honour the journeys they represent, and find a way to trek forward, lighter and more at peace. It's time for you to rediscover the joy of the journey, unburdened and free.
