A skunk showed up twice in my meditations, and I laughed because I knew exactly what it meant. This is a story about worth, about the difference between earning it and remembering it, and about the seed of value that was planted in you long before anyone told you otherwise.

When life triggers you, it’s not there to punish you — it’s showing you what still matters. In this honest reflection, I share how one moment in a neighbourhood chat helped me uncover a deeper truth about boundaries, motherhood, and using my voice with love and courage. Through EFT tapping and emotional awareness, I found gratitude in the trigger and a reminder that every uncomfortable moment is really an invitation to rise, grow, and respond differently next time.
