Be YOU From The Inside Out “Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life” – J.K. Rowling. by Tracey O’Neill

I absolutely

love this quote, as many times, you do have to hit rock bottom to realize that change is needed. When you’ve experienced darkness, seeing the light is the only way out. Experiencing darkness shapes you into the strong and resilient person you were always meant to be!

Have you ever felt worthless? Unimportant? Unsupported? Anxious? Exhausted? Lonely? Like you were looking after everyone else, but no one was looking after you? That was me about 7 years ago... I’m telling you this story because I know now that it doesn’t have to be that way.

I know that you can look after others, while still looking after yourself. I know that you can be happy, healthy and be the best version of yourself while still being a good mom and wife.

I know, because I’ve been at the bottom, and rose to the top. Not only can it be done, it’s actually absolutely necessary. I realized that by not living up to my full potential, I was actually being selfish. To my friends, family and most importantly to my kids. My kids deserve a happy mom, one who loves herself fully, so that they can learn to love themselves too. After all, kids don’t do what they are told, they mirror what they see!
