“How did I get here” is a deeply personal reflection on the illusion of having it all together while silently carrying the weight of unresolved trauma.

This story isn’t just about leaving, it’s about choosing myself, again, and beginning the hard, necessary journey towards reclaiming my time.

Reflecting on the heartbreak of leaving marriage and the shame I initially carried for ‘failing’ my family.
