Self-doubt doesn’t always begin in adulthood. Sometimes it’s rooted in moments from childhood when our voices went unheard. This reflection explores how I learned to trust myself again.

I didn’t realize my self-doubt started in childhood… until I finally paid attention.

My goal isn’t just to raise children—it’s to prepare them to live beyond me.
