As a deep, sensitive, and creative soul, I grew up feeling like I didn't belong, trying to be who others wanted me to be, and feeling like I could never truly be happy in life.

 

I was raised learning that many of my wants, needs, and thoughts were often wrong or an inconvenience to others, and only my "acceptable/loveable" parts (what others expected or approved of) should be shared. This led to my clinging to unhealthy coping mechanisms, pursuing unhealthy friendships, jobs and relationships, and living in intense stress, anxiety, insecurity, and depression from feeling empty, worthless, and purposeless.

 

After a rock-bottom traumatic experience, I spent years trying traditional therapy and medication, reading all of the self-help books, taking all of the all of the "right steps" guaranteed to make me happy,  etc. I even tried just not caring anymore and coasting through pretending like it was fine... but through it all, I was still unhappy and it was honestly not fine at all.

 

​It wasn't until I learned how to understand, accept, and embody all parts of myself, committed to showing up for myself every day instead of being a victim of my experiences, and empowered myself through connecting with my passions and purpose - a reason outside of myself to live and impact the world -  that I finally have experienced true happiness, peace, and excitement in life - even through the ups and downs.

​

I'm going to be honest with you, there wasn't a profound experience where I "found" myself. My true self was always there, she was simply buried under layers upon layers of pain, shame, hurt, fear, regret, and feelings of unworthiness. All I did was clear out the layers of conditioning so she could exist freely again, and chose to create a life I actually wanted to live versus merely settling into what was typical, familiar, or expected of me. 

 

This is the same for you. You probably already have a sense of who your true self is and what you desire, they might just be hidden under multiple layers of wounds or influence of who others have wanted you to be. I can help you reconnect to your personal truth so you can finally live your best life as your best, most free self.
