It doesn’t matter how bad you’re hurting, does it? Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

Share about a time when you felt confident.

Hi Mighty friends! 🫶

Today I’m working on channeling my inner confidence. To do that, I’m thinking back on the moments when I felt my best. Some specific memories stand out, like when I facilitated my Mighty events a few years ago and led the expressive arts group with NAMI-NYC from 2020 up until last year. I really enjoyed creating activities and connecting with others.

What about you? What’s a moment when you felt confident in yourself? 🦋
