What do you do when everything looks fine on the outside, but inside you’re shrinking, second-guessing yourself, and trying to hold everything together?
In this deeply personal episode, Valerie shares her story of slowly realizing something didn’t feel emotionally or spiritually healthy in her marriage. She reflects on the confusion, the anxiety, the constant self-doubt, and the moment she finally stopped minimizing what she was experiencing.
