Life has a way of throwing curveballs when you least expect them. A work accident cost me my teeth, a loss that hit me hard\u2014physically and emotionally. It was a blow to my confidence, and for a while, I felt diminished, unsure of how to move forward. The incident even followed me into the digital world, where I experienced a deeply embarrassing moment during a live stream that left me questioning my place.<\/p>
