Thank you for sharing ! What a journey! One obstacle after the next, and you kept going amidst your fear. You rock!

I have a fear of conflict. I have been actively working on being more vocal about my boundaries and feelings.

Usually, I avoid conflict because I fear escalation and hurting people’s feelings. When I avoid addressing things properly with people, I don’t feel truly authentic.

When I do practice articulating my feelings with others in regards to their actions, I feel much better. This communication releases feelings of resentment. Also, my communication has strengthened some of my relationships.

I am practicing being honest with my feelings with people in a loving and respectful manner.

Well done, Sierra! Focusing on what was needed and persevering until you found and inspired someone who could do think and act "outside the box." Way to not let the fear paralyze and exacerbate the situation. Great life-skill for all sitations! Thank you!!
