The hardest part of my wellness journey has been learning how to slow down and take more time for myself. I’ve learned that I need to create more space for myself to be alone and reflect instead of just jumping into the next thing.

Anytime my body feels like it’s being attacked, I set a boundary. The body is the vehicle for my art, so I have to be very caring and considerate of it.
