Thiffany moved from feeling out of control through divorce, self-doubt, and chronic pain to discovering a profound shift in self-value. They now understand that self-care isn't selfish—it's an act of self-love.
[Life before Lifebook] Out of control... divorce, self doubt, uncertain career/financial future, chronic pain and depression.
[Life after Lifebook] A bit more hopeful... but still struggling. A shift in self value. I now understand that taking care of myself is not selfish nor a matter of survival only, it's about self love.
