I'm happy to hear that the sense of shame and guilt has decreased with the realization you had after having listened to that woman.
I find it very admirable, your goal, and I'm sure your capacity to hold energy will only increase with the work you're doing.
I'm always excited when I go through those downtimes because I know they're followed by a new degree of growth! That woman gave me the slight push I needed to work that out, so I thank her.
Thank you, dear! I also strongly believe that!
