I tell my coaching clients who are struggling. I
tell them, deep inside your being, there is a treasure chest of gold,
and that treasure chest is you, hidden under layers and layers of dirt.
This dirt is the lies that you believe about yourself from the messages
and words and actions you've received.
Inside this treasure chest, bound by chains is a beautiful being. It's YOU. It's beautiful you
and the truth of who you are. This you is banging on the sides of the
chest, wanting to get out. This is the pain. The pain points the way to
your true self, so therefore, lean into the pain (through grief) and
allow yourself to go towards the pain and begin the process of digging
her out. Layer by layer, tear by tear, day by day.
