Thank you for sharing, Jo! While painful, the back to back experiences of family of origin and of choice are valuably illustrative of what we are meant to leave behind and what we are meant to expand our energy into!

Finally, we are seeing that performing even harder will not provide the belonging we crave, and that behavior just allows the painful patterns to persist.

Way to go! And I wish you blessings as we head into 2026 💗🌅
