Put It Down. It's Heavy. 😊

I ask clients sometimes — if you were carrying a bag of bricks, would you keep walking with it forever?

Of course not.

Yet we carry our past around like it belongs with us. Like it's part of who we are.

It isn't.

What happened to you shaped you. But it doesn't have to define you.

The argument. The betrayal. The childhood you didn't choose. The person you loved who hurt you anyway.

None of that is your forever.

Marisa Peer says the past is a place of reference, not a place of residence.

Read that again.

You were never meant to live there. 💛
