“Everything here is created or shared with love — to make your journey a little lighter, a little stronger, and a little less lonely.”

You Deserve Support That Holds You Safely

Because healing should never be walked alone.

If you’ve found yourself nodding through these stories — feeling seen, understood, or even cracked open — I want you to know this:

You are not alone.
And more than that — you are not expected to carry this on your own.

While Finding My Sunshine is a place of deep connection, lived experience, and soul-level empathy, it is not a crisis service or therapy substitute.

I am not a counsellor, psychologist, or mental health professional.
I am just a woman sharing my truth in the hope it might bring light to someone else’s.

If you are in pain, crisis, or carrying something too heavy, please know:

🕊️ You deserve support that’s trained to hold your pain safely.
