There was a version of me who thought trust would feel obvious. Something clear and undeniable, like a moment I could point to and say, there it is, I’ve arrived. I thought it would feel certain, grounded in a way that removed all questioning. But when it started showing up, it didn’t look anything ...

There is a point in this journey where you finally start to see yourself.

You begin to notice your patterns more clearly. You catch your reactions in real time. You start to understand why you do what you do instead of just moving through it unconsciously. And for a moment, it genuinely feels like ...
