If you’ve been living in turmoil, inner peace might start to feel boring…
Looking back, I realized that a couple decades of my adult life were lived at the edge of (or fully in) drama and turmoil.
That state had become so familiar it felt normal — my normal at least. Being in codependent relationships, constantly worried about finances, protecting myself from abuse and family drama; I thought that’s just how life is.

If I’m being truly honest, a part of me liked the turmoil. When a conflict arose, my inner rescuer said, hell ya! Time for me to swing into action!
