Prioritizing My Well-being

For as long as I can remember, I have always been going and running. Following my passions, working, and doing all the things to soak up the world, learn as much as I can, and support others. My last 9-to-5 job filled my cup so much, yet it also left me depleted for myself and my family. After six-plus years, the final year pushed me into daily burnout; I was wrestling with the decision of whether to stay or to leave. It took that entire year to make a choice.

I chose me and my family. I believe I waited so long to make this choice because of the lingering grief that would arise from leaving a place that had been so aligned with my human values and had become my family, my identity. As hard as it was, I made the choice, and the grief showed itself.

Once I was officially gone and leaning into private practice work, a layer of the burnout quickly released, but I still had work to do. I have moved through this life with such urgency, and my promise to myself in this next journey is to ease into all that this path will become. So here I am, almost a year and a half into my own journey, easing into my own self-trust and compassion to create a space that radiates self-love, personal patience, restorative rest, and community connection. I keep reminding myself to choose balance, choose ease, and take time in following my visions and dreams. I do not need to live in urgency; I do not need to hustle for my visions to come alive. Sure, that means it might take longer, but that time may allow for more authenticity, patience, and intentional practice.

So, if you are new here or have been here for a while, welcome! Thank you for being here and supporting this journey. I am Sabrina Word: a mother, daughter, wife, mental health therapist, trauma survivor, student of Yoga, lifelong learner, unlearner, and so much more. As I continue to lean into listening to my own inner wisdom, I offer compassion and kindness to however you may show up. As I lean into this journey with myself, I look forward to becoming more aligned, learning myself, while simultaneously meeting you.

Much love & appreciation,
Sabrina
