After a challenging year marked by health issues and burnout, I reflected on my journey as a woman, mother, and individual, with a focus on self-care. Delving into compassion-based therapeutic approaches, I confronted feelings of shame and guilt, beginning a process of reconnection and healing. This creative expression represents my recovery and a search for inner peace. I share it in the hope it inspires others facing similar struggles to find their path to healing.
