Hi, I'm Terri, founder of Journey On Strong.
What started in 2012 as Diary of a Recovering Codependent has grown into a space where I share what I've learned through more than 20 years of recovery from codependency and people-pleasing.
Here you'll find honest reflections on healing, boundaries, self-discovery, personal growth, and learning to create a life that is truly your own. Recovery has taught me that healing isn't a destination. It's a lifelong journey of becoming who we were always meant to be.
My hope is that these stories, lessons, and gentle reminders help you feel a little less alone and a little more empowered to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
Journey On Strong. 💜

Ah, I recognize this–such a great description of my first marriage! I’m glad to report that I just had my 16th anniversary with my second/current/final husband, and everything is so different. I never would have believed all those years ago that it was possible to have something so much better.
I still carry with me the scars of that first marriage, and I know they feed into my on-going problems with depression. But the healthy relationship I have now is very healing.
So glad you were able to move away from that relationship!

Isn’t it amazing how we can look back and see how far we have come? The scars will always remain but they no longer have to have a hold on us. Thank you for your comment, encouraging words and following my blog!!
