If this past year has taught me anything, it’s that I am deeply in tune with my intuition. Even in moments when I didn’t listen to it, the lessons arrived—messy but clear—in perfect Divine timing. Through it all, I’ve learned to trust myself completely, becoming, at 44, the adult I always needed as a child.
I’m so proud of how far I’ve come from the reactive emotional mess I used to be. I’ll always be a work in progress, but I’ve grown more curious, observant, and neutral in my approach —learning to pause and center myself before responding. I’ve embraced the power of discernment, trusting my inner guidance system to know when to speak and when to let silence do the talking.
I’ve become like a mountain—strong, steady, unwaveringly grounded in what I know to be true. No matter the storm, I stand firm in who I am. I don’t allow the negativity, judgment, or misunderstandings projected on me by others bother me. This is what true inner strength feels like—resilient, unapologetic, and fiercely aligned with Self.
I now see my journey with wide-eyed awareness. I’ve gained the ability to observe with clarity and compassion, trusting the unfolding process and allowing the bigger picture to reveal itself.
Speaking my truth no longer stems from anger or reactivity. Setting clear, direct boundaries with loving kindness has become one of my greatest acts of self-love. I’ve learned to sit with discomfort, trusting that it’s all happening as it’s meant to for the highest good—that nothing meant for me will ever miss me, and that the answers I seek will arrive in their own time.
Not everyone will understand me, like me, or want to do the work of moving towards mending things that have broken between us—and that’s okay. Closed doors aren’t endings; they’re opportunities for re-alignment. What’s gone makes way for what’s to come. I read energy and get to be choosy about who shares my space, trusting my inner voice and listening to my gut.
I no longer place my heart in the hands of those who don’t take care of their own. I trust myself to know who is safe and who is not—and when to walk away. Sometimes, people we thought were safe become lessons. When people drop the mask and show you who they truly are, believe them. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
The right ones will stay, be open-hearted and committed to growth. The wrong ones will leave, be closed-hearted, revealing themselves through their actions. Their behavior speaks to who they are, not who you are.
This year has taught me to be bold, brave, and unafraid. One of my life themes has been being the one who talks about the elephant in the room, opening to the possibility of having uncomfortable conversations. Not everyone is ready for those conversations, and not everyone will make it to our next chapter—and that’s a necessary part of growth. The only constant in life is change. You can roll with it, learn to ride the waves, or get pulled under.
I’ve built a foundation of self-love, authenticity, and accountability within myself and have become an expert at mending my own heart after placing it in the wrong hands. I’ll never make that mistake again. From this day forward I vow to only share the depths of my being with those who align with the work it takes to stay open, whole, and integrated even when it's hard.
I’ve learned to treat myself with grace, be my own best friend, and find humor even in life’s toughest moments. Gratitude for it all leads to resting in abiding joy. I’ve embraced vulnerability, truth, and being a lighthouse: standing firmly in my truth while illuminating the way for others by sharing what I've learned along the way.
I’m here on Earth to help heal the energetic hearts of those who’ve forgotten how to love themselves. I know what it’s like to lose yourself in unhealthy dynamics—with yourself or others—but I also know the way back home to the Self. I help others to reclaim their worthiness through radical self-acceptance and embracing their perfectly imperfect humanness.
Whether you’re recovering from a dysfunctional relationship with others or seeking to reconnect with your own heart and heal your relationship with yourself, I hold space and teach tools to help others ready to move through their darkness to find their light.
This journey has shown me that when we stand boldly in our truth, embrace our worth, and live authentically, we light the way for others to do the same. Together, we heal and create the change we wish to see in the world by starting with ourselves.
If my story gives you anything, perhaps it’s this: that change and growth are possible. We can do the work of no longer being defined by our hurts. We can allow the past to inform who we choose to become moving forward. The messiness of life can be like manure for our flowers.
If this resonates with you—if you feel called to connect for any reason, whether to learn, collaborate, or simply reach out—I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create something beautiful together.
