What if your worst moments held the key to your greatest freedom?
We’re taught to “get over it,” to push through pain, or pretend we’re fine. But what if your emotional triggers, survival responses, and deep inner struggles are actually sacred invitations—to reclaim your power, your voice, and your joy?
Life is Hard and Then You Fly shatters the myth that healing is hard—or that you need to stay stuck in cycles of overwhelm, anxiety, or pain.
