Anna entered my life during a crisis after my second brain injury, a time when I felt "broken" and defined by disability. Struggling with depression, I sought to reconstruct my identity amidst new cognitive challenges. Anna's kindness and compassion guided me, revealing that I still wore various hats – mother, daughter, athlete, dog parent, artist, rental manager, singer, organizer, and friend. She helped me recognize the many facets of "me." Our goal became finding clarity and balance. Anna led a methodical exploration of my values, past sources of happiness, preferred roles, and potential contributions. Together, we assessed my activities to align with values and joy-builders. Choosing roles aligned with success, values, and joy proved empowering, enabling me to discern what to let go of without anxiety.

In just six weeks, Anna transformed my life, lifting me from depression and providing a roadmap for the future. I now possess an "elevator pitch" for self-definition and short-term goals, directing my energy toward building a fulfilling new life. Grateful for Anna's kindness and skill, I feel empowered to rise like a phoenix.

This was a safe space to vent, reset, and DREAM. Anna led with compassion and empathy while also challenging me from time to time, pushing me not only to be a better version of myself but to show up and be present for myself every day.
