2 - What version of me am I grieving—and what did they teach me?

3 - Where am I still trying to rush or force clarity??

4 - What feels messy but necessary right now?

5 - If I fully trusted that this season was sacred, how would I treat myself differently?

6 - What does progress actually look like in the middle?

7 - What needs to fall apart before I can build something new?

8 - Where am I waiting for permission to choose myself?

9 - What truth have I been avoiding because it might change everything?
