Carolyn Sophia Skowron

My name is Carolyn Sophia Skowron, and I have always felt like an outsider. From a young age, I struggled to make friends, fit in, and be my true authentic self. Growing up, I grappled with feelings of inadequacy and isolation, often internalizing every situation and believing that others didn’t like me. It wasn't until my sophomore year of high school that I was diagnosed with Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD), which provided me with answers but didn't eliminate my battles with depression and anxiety.

The challenges I've faced have shaped me into who I am today. For a long time, my foundation was built on depression, anxiety, self-doubt, and self-hatred. However, after fully committing to therapy and mindfulness, my building blocks have transformed into resilience, strength, adaptability, and positivity.

I believe that everyone has their own unique building blocks that shape their identity. Being self-aware and understanding these elements is crucial for creating a happy and healthy life. I’m here to share my journey and empower others to recognize and embrace their own building blocks.
