Learn to love yourself now & then choose to grow

I never would have considered myself a late bloomer UNTIL I took an honest look at the way I relate to others and view myself in this world. My whole life I've been told "you are such an old soul" and my response to that now is well.. the trauma talks... I learned that receiving that reflection from others is not entirely a compliment. I now recognize the child I was that had to grow up too fast and self-parent and live in survival mode am now living in this adult world as an underdeveloped child. That has resulted in trauma responses and trauma bonding with people in my life. 

I know can say I am a late bloomer, emotionally. That doesn’t mean I am late to live or have been off my path this whole time. It means that I have more self-awareness than EVER and I get to choose who I want to become now that I know who I have been. 

I hope this episode can reflect that to you… there are many seasons to life and although maybe in the past seasons you bloomed late we are in this HERE & NOW season and you are right on time!

What will you choose to do differently today, it won’t be easy, change never is but it will be WORTH it!
