Thanks Jackie! Every day still presents challenges, but definitely taking better care of myself than I was for the last few years.

If it's not personal, I would like to know what helped you find back this motivation. Take care!

It’s a personal journey & I couldn’t possibly fit it in one post Also, it’s more about discipline than motivation. Motivation is easy—it’s like the ignition on a car. But if you want to make it through the ups and downs and windy roads, you need fuel, which is the discipline.

Yo, thanks for sharing. 🤙🏼 Last couple years have been wild - and when work is our identity - hot damn - shit goes sidewise so easily.

Yeah, I definitely learned that the hard way. But maybe it was also needed to “wake up” and start taking my mental health disorders more seriously.

Most likely only the people closest to me know this (or if you’ve read my vulnerable tweets over the years), but I went through some really dark times. It’s a lifelong journey to learn more about myself through therapy and build the support system so that doesn’t happen again.
