This journey has been huge for me and anyone that has dealt with being bullied as a child can relate to this. I have struggled with my own insecurities of wanting this company to be a success. Days and weeks of researching and learning, it is not an easy task to sit and read all these various stories. It woke up a side of me that in a way was hard to accept, the courage. To open up to the world and say I want to help people not for anything more than I know what it is like to need help. The courage that I have had to show by reaching out and accepting that their possible rejection is far from easy. I have learned not every critique and judgement is not to be taken personal. When you give yourself to something it is extremely hard to do that; I am still learning. Honestly, that is the best part of this experience so far, is being able to grow with my company. Just like I started this journey when I was ready I know people will see my efforts and join my fight for change when they are ready.

The fact is so many parents, especially, are going through this ordeal and it is emotionally and mentally overwhelming. So, to present something new on top of that is not going to be easily processed or catch on quickly, I understand that now more than I did before. I was so excited at all my ideas and possibilities that part of me did lose that piece of understanding. I will lead with actions because most of you have gone through enough just with words.
