After a recent cyclone here, I found myself reflecting on how life’s challenges—whether it’s a weather event or deep personal trauma—push us to dig deep, respond, and grow. Over time, these experiences build resilience and confidence.

Many of us have been through significant hardship—abuse, neglect, complex trauma—and while we often see these as purely negative, I believe there’s a deeper perspective. On a soul level, there’s purpose in the contrast. We come into this world of polarity—light and dark, love and fear—not by accident, but to evolve.

It’s through adversity that we come to know ourselves as individuals, as unique expressions of the divine. And maybe, just maybe, the challenges we’ve lived through are the very things that wake us up to who we really are.
