Craving some Friday inspiration?Walking alongside others on their journey toward wellness often reveals a kind of fulfillment that surpasses personal accomplishments.Not long ago, I had the honour of supporting someone grappling with the heavy chains of addiction.What was holding them back?What holds us all back is the heavy burden of past traumas.United in purpose, we embarked on an open and honest conversation.Now, witnessing the transformative steps individuals need to take:Success #1: e.g., rediscovering a sense of belonging and self-compassion. I am still learning this, even after 27 years of continuous sobriety.Success #2: e.g., forging meaningful relationships within the community. For some of us, this is really difficult because of our past mistakes. We need to find true friends. A true friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.Success #3: e.g., empowering others in their circles to seek healing. I still seek out circle healing myself.&nbsp; Our hurts and traumas happened privately; healing has to happen publicly. The circle is the best place where healing happens.Are your spirits lifted? It's profoundly rewarding to behold the blossoming of those I serve on this healing path.

Supported someone struggling with addiction, witnessing transformative steps for self-compassion, community relationships, and healing.
