The thought of opening up and sharing my story has always been terrifying. Even when I gather the courage to share just a small part of my life, something or someone... whether from my past or my own inner critic... always seems to shut me down. It’s like I take one step forward, only to be pulled back again by memories and negative self-talk that have been ingrained in me since I was born...
But today, I’m taking the first steps to do what I’ve been called to do over and over again: share my story, my healing journey, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. My hope is that by doing so, I can help others face their own shadows and move forward in their healing journey and in their lives.
I’ve learned lessons through my pain, and if I don’t share them, these lessons will die with me. My friends don’t even know my whole story... only pieces of it. There are so many chapters I’ve held inside for most of my life. In the past 3 to 4 years, I’ve been able to unpack many of these chapters and memories, begin to heal, and grow from them... and I’ve learned so much! That is what I want to share with you!

If I don’t share, no one can learn or grow from what I’ve been through...
That just feels pointless and selfish to me. I know it’s my time to be brave... to step out of my comfort zone and face the discomfort of sharing my truth and how I’ve learned and grown from it. Hopefully, the lessons I’ve learned can help you as well... I would love nothing more.
We all have traumas in our life... Some of us have Capital “T” traumas, and some just have little “t” traumas... but we all have something to work through... Don’t let yours haunt you from the shadows and hold you back from the things you want in this life... Life is just too short for that...
On my journey, I’ve come to embrace what I call my polkadots, which have become a theme and a purpose moving forward. These small, powerful dots represent the steps of healing and growth, one moment at a time. Each dot, each moment, adds up and creates something beautiful... It’s a reminder that healing doesn’t always require a giant leap. Sometimes, it’s about the little steps forward, the simple acts of self-compassion, and the courage to face your deepest fears and shame while learning to embrace your authentic self.
And that’s exactly how I began my healing journey... by taking small steps forward, one dot at a time. Every day, every decision... it’s all part of forming a bigger picture that becomes clearer as time goes on. Polkadots remind me that healing is not a destination but a journey of discovery and growth.
Through this journey, I’ve also written children’s books focused on mindfulness, healing, growth, and overcoming obstacles. These books, too, are symbols of the polkadots on my path. It’s a journey I never expected to take, but this healing process has been the most rewarding experience of my life, and I will forever be thankful. You can check out my books here: Polkadot Pickle Books | Clockworks| Polkadot The stories are meant as life lessons for both adults and children, and there are many more Polkadot Pickle stories to come, so stay tuned.
I’m inviting you to join me on this journey...
Healing can be hard, and the path isn’t always clear. But when we stand together, share our stories, and take those small steps forward, one polkadot at a time... we can break free from the chains of shame and fear that have held us back for far too long. It’s time to share our experiences, to heal, to grow, and to help others do the same.
Whether you’re just starting your healing journey or have been on this path for a while, I encourage you to embrace the polkadot concept.
Keep moving forward, little dots at a time. Don’t let the past hold you back any longer from the future you deserve.
If this has inspired you or you’re ready to take the first step in your own healing, I encourage you to reach out. Share your story, leave a comment, or even help me keep sharing.
My hope is to eventually build a safe, supportive, and loving community focused on healing and growth—one polkadot at a time.
Together, we can create a world full of healing, love, and understanding.
Thank you for being here. Your story matters.
Together, let’s change the world, one polkadot at a time.
Love, Light, and Polkadots, Jenny
