Yes! This was definitely me most of last year. I moved several times, the divorce was finalized. I felt like an empty nester, because my kids stay with their dad full time and they're growing up. I began exploring a different way of navigating love and relationships. So much transition! I ended up taking time at the beginning of the to just kind of cocoon myself for a few months. Partly due to stress and lack of funds, but also because I just needed the rest, physically and mentally. I am feeling better now, and I'm not sure what's different other than I have found more of a groove lately and I seem to have settled into my new roles in ways that work for me.

Thank you so much for sharing!! With so many transitions happening at the same time, it’s difficult to plant myself. I love the idea of going into your cocoon to rest. I know this is temporary but sheesh…

It feels crazy, like everything is shifting all at once. I was not a fan! Lol
