Collage illustrating Melanie's journey from overwhelm and hardship to greater clarity, hope, purpose, and personal growth over the past year.

 

I started with a dream and a great deal of encouragement.

When problems began appearing, I became overwhelmed and started throwing the entire storm at anyone willing to help.

What I eventually learned was that storms are easier to navigate when we stop trying to solve everything at once.

One problem.

Then the next.

Then the next.

Piece by piece, clarity began to emerge.

Looking back, I realize I was taking my own Coin We Hold journey.

I wasn’t finding answers all at once.

I was learning to pull one piece out of the storm at a time.
