For the past three years, I’ve been walking through a divorce while caring for my kids. It’s been one of the hardest chapters of my life — emotionally, financially, and spiritually. Closing it has left me with legal debt I need help paying down.

I’ve kept this part of my life very private, so I know this may come as a surprise. For most of this journey, I carried it quietly and on my own. Closing this chapter has been incredibly difficult, and the legal process has left me with loans that weigh heavily on me.

I also realize I haven’t really allowed others to show up for me through this process. Part of my healing is learning to be vulnerable with my story and that I don’t have to walk it alone. Asking for help is not easy, but I know that sometimes community is the difference between carrying a weight by yourself and finally setting it down.
