Hey everyone, it's Coach Nina, and I wanted to take a moment to tell you about a special song I wrote. This song came from a place deep in my heart, inspired by my personal experiences and the journey life has taken me on. It captures the emotions of resilience, faith, and healing after struggles, as well as my ongoing healing journey.
