Quote:
“Life is a journey, and you are expected to find your path…. except there is no GPS to help you navigate, and that can be scary, especially if you feel alone. However, one of the best things about the unknown are the people you meet along the way. People who are strong and inspire.”

Rylee's candid conversation about her invisible wounds of PTSD, born out of an abusive relationship, resonates with many. Her love language of gift-giving and a conscious effort to make others feel significant, are her ways to make this world less lonely. Her childhood coping mechanism of running – both away from difficulties and towards personal development, make for an intriguing listen.
