You are not alone. There is a life on the other side.
For 27 years I wore this job like armor. I thought that's what it meant to be strong. It wasn't until my body forced me to stop that I realized how much I'd been carrying — and how long I'd been carrying it alone. This site exists because you shouldn't have to figure that out the hard way.
"It's your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself, that determines how your life's story will develop."
— Dieter F. Uchtdorf
