What if the very thing that once made you feel like an outsider is actually one of your greatest gifts? From a childhood experience that made me afraid to create to becoming an artist and advocate for fiber art, I'm discovering that belonging doesn't mean becoming like everyone else. Sometimes we simply need to make the circle bigger.

During a Creative Strength Training class, I discovered that the Tower isn't just an archetype—it's the moment life changes forever. Through my own journey of surgery, recovery, and unexpected setbacks, I realized healing isn't about returning to who we were. It's about becoming someone stronger than we ever imagined.
