Meet Voices InCourage community member Jeannie. Jeannie teaches us an important lesson: "Our Secrets Keep Us Sick." In this conversation with KL Wells, Jeannie explains the importance of being your authentic self during difficult times and not "stuffing your feelings." She also touches on one of Voices InCourage's pillars in the "Five Acts of Courage," which is "feeling your emotions." Watching our loved ones go through tough times and experiences can be life-altering and unexpected. Taking care of ourselves is a crucial part of recovery for everyone- including family members. Therefore, Jeannie reminds us of another "Act of Courage" – the importance of "prioritizing self-care." Jeannie speaks of being intentional with her steps during what could be a difficult moment – visiting her son while in prison. These crucial and purposeful steps allowed her to be present at the moment. Tune in to learn how Jeannie turned what could have been a challenging moment into a meaningful and joyful experience.
