Krista O’Reilly-Davi-Digui of ALifeInProgress.ca shares a deeply personal journey through joy, sorrow, self-discovery, and the realization that being "enough" is not about perfection, but about embracing one's messy, beautiful self. Her story is a testament to the power of self-compassion, resilience, and finding joy in the imperfections of life.
