my story.
My health journey began in 2013, five years after my dad passed away. I was heartbroken to my core. Nothing I was doing to escape the pain was working. It only left me feeling more lonely and empty. For many years I was stuck in a well of unhealthy habits. I was in deep despair and denial. When I emerged years later, I was drained. It was this desperation for soul connection that guided me. I was determined to get healthy. I knew I needed to make a drastic change in order to find happiness and forgiveness.
I craved slow days, wild nature and a deeper connection with myself. I was seeking purity in all forms: in the food I consumed, in the company I kept, in how I spent my alone time and in my creative work. I was in the early stages of calling in the life I had always wanted, but never felt worthy to receive.
As my confidence grew, so did my frequency. I was shocked when certain members of my community, the ones I deeply admired, began befriending me. In a short matter of time I became well known and respected in my community. My relationship with my own self-worth expanded and made room for this love. When the time came to meet a romantic partner, I felt ready. I was ready to give and receive the love I had always dreamed of.
It has been eight years since I began making gradual changes in my life. Looking back, it is the best gift I ever gave myself; a new outlook on life. I am now in a loving and happy marriage. I am the mother to a beautiful soul, Owen. I have meaningful new friendships and I have healed wounds with my older friendships.
Through my experience I discovered that if I want to maintain lifelong relationships I have to give and receive compassion, grace, forgiveness and acceptance. I have to first forgive myself and forgive my past. I formed a new relationship with grief and pain. Eventually it was my mistakes and hardships that led me to the personal growth and development I enjoy today.
Through all my trainings and experience, I have been able to identify and release old thought patterns that had stunted my personal growth and distracted me from living in my true nature. I am deeply grateful for the teachers who guided me to the light and encouraged me to walk confidently into my purpose.
It is with great joy that I am here today. Receiving and sharing beautiful messages and lessons. Thank you for reading.
