Within a short period of time, I became a caregiver for my terminally ill father, my son was in his late teens and
struggling, and I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
At the same time, I was preparing to expand my career.
What I wanted for myself and what I felt I had to do were at odds.
My anxiety went up, my confidence went down, and everything got harder.
I had gotten away from who I was, or who I knew myself to be.
I knew that a refocus on myself was what was going to help me to manage my medical issues, move beyond my
father’s passing, and also my changing role as a mother, and to help me expand my career.
