I’ve made some profound changes in my life since then. First and foremost, I stopped blaming everyone else for my own problems. This was the hardest. For my entire life I was told – and I believed – that as a woman, I could do no wrong, that I was not responsible, that I was always the victim in some way.

A new colleague at work – a woman from the South – showed me very clearly it’s quite easy to be nice and be strong at the same time.
