“You have to get a little lost on the way to being found.”
A quote from what used to be on a loop in our house, Frozen and Frozen 2. This has been my “Power Through” quote to keep moving forward with my journey of figuring out who I am over the last 4 years. (If you want to check out the song, it is the song version “All is Found” not the movie version.)
I am Brit. I think I am a decent human, but constantly battle the broken record in my head that tells me otherwise from years of chronic PTSD and living on eggshells. Since I was 17 years old I was in a relationship that was very toxic, keeping me constantly in fight or flight mode. I am not going to super touch on that here, as I am sure, overtime, bits and pieces will come out.
I am a mom of 4 beautiful children, 1 bonus child and 1 furry child. I strive to be the best partner in life I can be to a man who has supported me through my healing and finding myself. I am regrowing my relationships with family I love dearly, who I was all but cut off from for 15 years. I have a job I love and thrive at. And now I pursue all of this despite my ongoing battle with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
I am going to be pretty real on here because that is who I am and I am going to embrace and share my story and experiences as they are, without trying to look perfect. (Huge struggle for me because that is what I spent the first 15 years of my adult life trying to display.)
