As a deep, sensitive, 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. All I wanted from a young age was to make art and help people.

 

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 going above and beyond to try and prove my worth, clinging to unhealthy friendships, jobs, and relationships, and living in intense stress, anxiety, insecurity, and depression from feeling empty, worthless, and purposeless.

 

After hitting my rock-bottom point of depression, I spent years trying traditional therapy and medication, reading every self-help book, taking all of the all of the "right steps" guaranteed to make me happy,  found my passion in freelance modeling, etc. I even tried just not caring anymore and coasting through pretending like I was fine... and although some of it helped, I still felt deeply unhappy and unfulfilled.

 

​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 my passions and purpose - a reason outside of myself to live and impact the world without any need to prove myself to anyone else -  that I finally experienced (and continue to experience) true happiness, peace, and excitement in life - even through life's constant ups and downs.

​

I'm going to be honest with you... there wasn't some wild and 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 disempowering beliefs. I simply needed to clear out the layers of conditioning so she could exist freely again, and choose 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 really desire, they might just be hidden under multiple layers of wounds or outside influence of who others have wanted you to be. I can help you reconnect to your personal truth and free yourself of limitations so you can access your highest potential and live your best life as your best, creative, and most empowered self.
