Sometimes life throws us curve balls and our brains and bodies respond in ways that leave us feeling stuck. Our past does not have to define our future and our challenges do not need to keep us living in the past. We all have a unique and incredible story to be told and the beautiful thing is, we can decide how the story ends!
