When the Fog Comes Back

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the beginning.

It’s when things made sense for a while, and then, suddenly, they don’t.

I wonder if you thought you’d be further along by now.

Maybe you took a few steps.

Maybe things were finally starting to make sense, until they didn’t.

And now the fog feels close again.

If that’s where you are, I want to say this gently and clearly: You are not failing or going backwards, and nothing is wrong with you.

You’re in the right place.

There’s something I need you to know — something I wish someone told me earlier in my journey.

I remember the first time I walked into a support group for women. It felt frightening and strange at the same time. I didn’t know there were women who would understand the confusion and the constant inner turmoil I was living with.

But they did.

And I remember this deep sense of relief, like I could finally exhale. I wasn’t invisible anymore.

I wasn’t imagining things. I was seen.

And that was the beginning of everything changing.

Support isn’t about being fixed. It’s about having a safe place to land when healing is happening.

And healing doesn’t run on a timeline or in a straight line; it moves in layers.

And when a new layer surfaces, it can feel like you’re back where you started.

The Israelites had already been freed, yet they still found themselves needing daily provision and guidance in the wilderness—freedom didn’t mean the journey was over.

There’s no magic number of weeks. No finishing line where everything suddenly feels easy or where you graduate from needing connection.

And that’s not a weakness.

It’s being human.

If you’re finding yourself thinking:

• I thought I’d be further along by now.

• Why do I still need help?

• I don’t want to do this alone anymore.

I want you to know support is here.

Weekly and monthly gatherings.

Coaching.

A place to come as you are and be supported as you continue healing.

You don’t need to decide today how long you’ll stay.

You don’t need to know the end of the journey.

You only need to know the right place to land.

Sometimes we step away for a season. Life gets full.

But real support doesn’t disappear.

Access—that’s what real support offers. A place you can return to when things feel heavy again.

So, if you’re struggling right now, please hear this:

Of course you are.

Your need for continued support isn’t failure; it’s you listening to yourself more honestly.

You’ve already stepped onto a narrow road, a road that leads to clarity and steadiness, but it was never meant to be walked alone.

It asks more of us at the beginning.

Not because we’re doing it wrong, but because this is real life.

And with support, it does get easier.

What if reaching out is simply choosing yourself, again?

And if things made sense for a while and now feel cloudy again, if your heart is tired, you’re welcome here.

The door is open.
