I recently recalled a video I saw of a lion stuck being attacked by 20 hyenas. Although he was trapped fighting for his life, all it took was another lion to show up. The odds changed drastically making the pair too much for the many attackers.

I have participated on many teams in my lifetime. Through hard work, blood, sweat, laughter and tears we have lost and won together. I know I am a strong woman but I also know I can’t always navigate circumstances alone. At times I need others to help stand with me and together we are stronger.

The adversary wants to isolate us and make us feel alone. To feel like we have to learn on our own because no one could possibly know.

But I realize that when I shared my story help was immediately on the way through hugs, service, prayers and understanding. Most of my prayers are answered through others. I know I have a powerful team in family, friends and a partner. I need safe people in order to survive.

I have also found support in books, podcasts, therapy and music. I know that if Satan can take out a mom he can take out a whole family.

I am so blessed to be a part of an amazing team of women that what brought us together is our trauma. They have understood and helped me. They have inspired and cried with me. Three years ago I didn’t know they existed and barely knew what betrayal trauma was. Now they are a part of my foundation and as we have joined forces together and stand shoulder to shoulder we are better moms, sisters, friends and people.

I encourage you to make a list of team members you have. It can be inspirational people, authors and artists too.

Brene Brown said “We don’t have to do it alone. We were never meant to.”

I am thankful for having the ultimate teammate, leader and coach in Christ. He loves me unconditionally and continues to introduce me to new teammates that help develop my talents and are a blessing to my life. He knows exactly my injuries and what I need most.

Who is on your team? How does their power and solidity help you? How can you contribute to your team? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a5V6gdu5ih8
