How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I realized recently that I had no idea what I really liked, what I really thought about various things, and what I really stood for. That's a scary thing, when you are a parent.

I’m smart, I’m strong, I have the courage in me that I need to face everything I have on my plate right now – I just need to keep repeating that until I actually believe it.
