When the strongest person I knew was gone - Me - The Weight of Routine — how repetition both comforts and confines, and the rituals that shape survival - Episode 2

In this episode, I invite you onto my Juliet balcony — a place I never imagined would become my refuge. Surrounded by the sounds of wind, trees, and even a glimpse of the ocean, I reflect on how life changed overnight. Once an IFBB athlete, Warrior elite winner, OCR World Champion, and provincial powerlifter, I thrived on control, organization, and being “the strong one.” But when my body and mind unexpectedly broke down, everything shifted.I share the reality of treatments, routines that both comfort and suffocate, and the small rituals that help me hold onto pieces of myself. This is not a polished story — it’s an honest one. A reminder that vulnerability is not weakness, and that even small steps forward matter.✨ Sharing my journey of resilience and identity. 🎧 Podcast: Spotify 📺 YouTube: @ChangedOvernite 📸 Instagram: @jetaimeribbink 🌐 Facebook: jetaime.ribbink 🔗 linktr.ee/whenitallchanged#Substack #Medium #Resilience #Identity #HealingJourney #ChangedOvernite
