'Finding my way back to myself': Rumer Willis reflects on a year of personal growth and family bonding

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rumer Willis is celebrating a year of self-growth and family bonding. The 35-year-old actress reflected on the previous year in a candid Instagram post on Friday, January 5, as she listed over 30 milestones she reached throughout the past 12 months.

"Finding my way back to myself…. Last year was incredibly dynamic, I grew a human being, gave birth at home (with no drugs) surrounded by my family," Willis captioned a pair of sunny bathtub-shot selfies.

She then noted that the year marked "a new relationship while being pregnant and postpartum" and allowed her the opportunity to fall in love with "the tiny love of my life Lou", her now-eight-month-old daughter Louetta Isley, whom she shares with partner Derek Richard Thomas.

What did Rumer Willis say about her accomplishments?

"[I] softened, became less resistant to my own bulls---, threw pots on a wheel, did 6 [am] ocean swims 4x a week in the winter, learned about what real intimacy looks like, working on being the most honest authentic version of myself, healing my trauma so I don’t pass it on to my daughter, celebrated seven years of sobriety, showed myself [I'm] not a weenie hehe," Willis added of her accomplishments, as per SheKnows.

The eldest daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore also shared in her post that other recent milestones included chilly ones, like going for a dip in an "ice cold river," and major personal achievements such as having felt "more beautiful and comfortable in my skin than I ever have."

Willis also penned that she made sure to spend quality time with her family throughout the year, following her father's frontotemporal dementia diagnosis in February.

"I don’t know what this next year will bring but man I can’t wait to see what’s next," she concluded the candid post.
