📣 Your Next Step
If you’ve been stuck in a loop — trying everything and still ending up in the same place — take a breath.
You’re not broken.
You’ve just been trying to heal with the wrong blueprint.
So here’s your next step:
👉 Identify one area of your recovery that’s been overlooked — your biology, your nervous system, your trauma, your environment, or your soul.
Then ask:
What would it look like to support that area this week — with compassion, not control?
Even a small shift — a supplement, a boundary, a journal entry, a moment of stillness — can ripple into deep change.
Freedom doesn’t come from trying harder.
It comes from healing deeper.
