Finding My Voice After Years of Silence

🌿 I’ve lived through more than most people will ever know — and for many years, I carried it all in silence. But healing has taught me something important:

The little girl I once was deserves to be seen, protected, and loved — not hidden.

I went through trauma no child should ever experience. I survived loss, abuse, abandonment, fear, and moments where I didn’t think I’d make it.

But today, I can speak about my past because I have walked through years of therapy, healing work, spiritual growth, and deep inner transformation.

Now, when I look back, I don’t see my story as shame — I see it as proof of my strength.

I share my journey not to reopen old wounds, but to show others that healing is possible…that the past does not define your worth…and that the younger version of you can still be held, loved, and protected — by you.

This blog is not just my story. It’s my heart. It’s the path that shaped the healer, the mother, and the woman I’ve become.

And if my words help even one person feel less alone, then sharing them is worth it. 🤍

With gentle light,

Mary Alice
