First and foremost, I approach life with immense gratitude and honor for my journey. I firmly believe that every obstacle we overcome and heal from brings us closer to the expansion of our souls. This mindset has guided me through many challenges and transformative moments.
My story begins in adversity. I lost my dad when I was just seven years old, a profound loss that shaped the early contours of my life. Raised by a mother who struggled with her own mental and emotional battles, my childhood was marked by challenges that few could fathom. Despite these early hardships—or perhaps because of them—I learned resilience and independence at a young age. I started working at 15 and, by the age of 17, made the bold decision to emancipate myself from my mother's care. This decision wasn't just about seeking freedom; it was a pivotal step towards self-discovery and healing.
The journey since then has been solitary but profoundly enlightening. I dove deep into understanding and healing my traumas, reconnecting with my core essence of self-love and acceptance. There was a pivotal moment towards the end of my healing breakthroughs when I felt overwhelming gratitude for every person who had ever wronged me. Each challenge they brought into my life was an opportunity for growth—if I allowed it.
Today, I stand firm in the belief that we are here to grow and expand. However, I recognize that not everyone's path is focused on ascension. True connection comes from within, and when you connect with your heart, you will know what you are called to.
This understanding and acceptance of life's complex tapestry motivate everything I do and share through my work. It is not just my history that defines me, but my continuous journey towards enlightenment and the expansion of my soul.

Everything changed when I stepped out of survival mode. Whether it was a day ago, a week ago, or over the past several months, the person I am continues to evolve. For too long, I was a 'human doing' masquerading as a 'human being'. After committing to intense therapy for Complex PTSD, stemming from the abusive childhood I had, I’ve experienced profound changes.
For two to three years, I dedicated myself to healing deeply ingrained wounds—fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, attention-seeking behaviors, workaholic obsessions, and a persistent lack of self-love, respect, honor, and worth. I also tackled my perfectionism and the mistaken belief that my value was tied to my productivity.
Now, I can confidently say I’ve moved beyond those challenges. No longer am I in a state of hyper-vigilance, navigating a world filled with unseen dangers and triggers. Today, I live in a state of peace and zen, comfortably inhabiting my body and mind without the constant noise of survival instincts.
Healing, surprisingly, was the more straightforward part. The true challenge came after, when my body and nervous system settled into a new normal—a state of homeostasis that was foreign to me. As the adrenaline faded, a new phase of my life began. Now, I'm not just surviving; I’m truly thriving.
While I've achieved significant milestones, enlightenment is a journey, not a destination. Each day offers a new opportunity to grow and expand my understanding. How blessed am I to have embarked on this path and to continue exploring the depths of my own being!
