Embracing the Woman Within

Send us Fan MailThe moment we begin giving away all our energy, attention, and care to others without replenishing ourselves, we start dwelling in an empty vessel. Stacey Collins knows this reality intimately.Stacey, a writer, coach, and musician,shares her profound journey from trauma and loss to rediscovering herself. With raw honesty, Stacey reveals how contributing to the "Beautiful, Broken, Becoming" anthology became a pivotal step in her healing process."I had to stop worrying about everyone else and take care of me," Stacey explains, addressing the guilt many women feel when prioritizing their own needs. She compares neglecting self-care to maintaining a pool - without proper cleaning, we accumulate emotional "gunk" that affects our overall wellbeing. Perhaps most moving is Stacey's candid discussion about forgiveness, describing how she released herself from an "unforgiveness prison" she had created. She tells us about how she refused to surrender her "ashes" of pain, Stacey illuminates the complex journey of letting go.For anyone feeling broken or lost, Stacey offers this gentle encouragement: "Remember that little girl that played at the park, that sang little songs... Remember those moments because they are key to coming back, to becoming, to resurrecting."Instagram: @themommacollinsFree Song: bit.ly/letmeloveyousong******************************************************************Who is Julie Fairhurst?Julie Fairhurst – Speaker, Author, and Founder of Women Like MeJulie Fairhurst is a champion for women’s empowerment and the founder of the Women Like Me Book Program.
