One day I woke up and thought,

"Who am I? Who do I want to be? Who do people around me think I am?"

my personal story

Starting at age 9 and ending at age 25, I was plagued with episodes of physical, sexual, emotional, and spiritual abuse.

I carefully constructed walls and barricades around my heart and around my trauma that not even the most enormous sludge hammer could break through. I plastered on a smile, pushed through with faked positivity, and began rebuilding my life. I felt like an imposter in my own life. I was consumed with making sure no one knew of my past, pain, and secrets. I created an identity separate from the trauma and all my brokenness. I worked endlessly trying to overcompensate and keep others at bay, so scared someone might discover my secrets. I became highly successful in my job, quickly working my way up the ranks. But with all this success, I was empty, scared, and imprisoned by my past.  
 
One day I woke up and thought, Who am I? Who did I want to be? Who did people around me think I was?  
 
Eventually, the unraveling of my life began, and I realized the cloak I had been dragging around and the fortress I had built was no longer sustainable. Someone suggested I hire a Life Coach. At first, I didn’t believe it would be helpful, as I had been in many kinds of therapy for the past decade.  I had tried everything, well, except coaching. I found a reputable life coach in my area, and over the next three months, we went through an eye-opening, emotion-filled process that changed my life!

what i now know to be true is...

  • I am worth it, and I deserve to be healthy and happy!
  • I am not defined by the things that happened to me, I am resilient and powerful!
  • Healing myself starts with me removing the layers of trauma and realizing I am all of that and none of that at the same time!
  • Trauma is part of my story, but it is not my only story!
  • It’s never too late to do the work and to take charge of your life and change it, just jump, the universe will catch you every time!
  • It’s okay to do it afraid! Your best days are on the other side of fear.
  • It's okay to make myself a priority. I am better for others when I prioritize myself, my health and wellness.
  • There is nothing better and more powerful than when you are able to stand in your truth, conviction, testimony and purpose. This is when you are truly in alignment with all you are and all you were meant to be.
