“Wounded healers aren’t born or made. They create themselves by transforming their pain into power, and adversity into strength. They understand the value of facing the shadows and transmuting them into light. They help lost wounded souls find help. They help them find healing. They help them find hope.” – Unknown
All of us carry wounds and scars. But these wounds and scars don’t have to define us.
We can still choose the direction of our life. We can choose what we’ll do with these life experiences.
And when we’ve faced the shadows and walked towards the pain, and done the hard work … the intense, life-changing work … we can help other people who are on this journey, too.
We can be an inspiration – for they see that we survived.

Sometimes all you can do is stand. But showing up and speaking up as a survivor is often enough to convince others that they can do it too.

I have a new wound today that I need to choose how to handle. It’s another life experience with cancer I don’t want. Your post hit home for me today.
