Cindy’s world felt like it was crumbling. First, she lost her father—a man she deeply admired. The grief was heavy, but before she could catch her breath, life threw another punch. A trusted friend betrayed her, and a client she had invested so much in parted ways with her. The sting of these experiences cut deep. Every time she saw that friend, her chest tightened, her hands grew clammy, and her anger rose inside like an uncontrollable wave. It was too much to bear.
