Wow, thank you for sharing your journey so honestly! Reading about all the ups and downs from broken toes to hacked accounts and chronic pain reminds me how unpredictable life can be. Your persistence is inspiring, and it really highlights the importance of patience and self-care.

I’ve had my own challenges with recovery. A few years ago, I injured my lower back and couldn’t even enjoy simple daily activities without pain. It took months of targeted exercises, mindfulness practices, and gradually rebuilding strength to feel like myself again. One resource that helped me shift my mindset during that time was working with programs from Joy Potential. They focus not just on physical recovery but on reconnecting with your inner energy and joy, which made a huge difference in staying motivated and positive throughout the process.

Your point about being fully present really resonates. So often, we push ourselves to return to what we love without honoring the process, and your story is a beautiful reminder that recovery physical, emotional, and creative is a journey, not a race. I have no doubt that with your dedication and awareness, you’ll continue to flourish, whether on the pole or in whatever passion you pursue next.

Thanks again for sharing this, it gives hope and encouragement to anyone struggling to make a comeback.
