A few brave people gave permission to share their entire process answering the questions. Click on the difficulty to see their process.

"I was arrested for shoplifting."

"My teeth are broken and I feel like a silent monster."

"I accidentally cut off my finger."

"I had a total hip replacement."

"I had to go to the bathroom."

“My husband tried to shoot me."

"My biological father left when I was a toddler."

"I lost my mom when I was ten years old."

"I was mad at my mom for a long time."

“I find myself in unwanted conversations about sex.”

“Like a chameleon, I effortlessly change my personality with certain people.”

“I was always trying to please my him.”

"I hid in a closet when my parents were murdered in our home."

"I was angry about my split."

"I work with critically ill patients."

“I want to leave Pakistan to save my son.”

"I quit exercising."

"I am nervous to teach because I don't speak English well."

"I can't get my three-year-old son to bed."

"My brother committed suicide."

"I felt paralyzed by depression."

"Maybe she did, maybe she didn't have brain cancer."

"I couldn't connect with him. I needed to grieve."

I am grateful to these incredible people. They were the first to share their unraveling processes using the Wonder Anew questions. Their willingness to embrace personal difficulty and permission to publish it here is a gift for all.
