Sharing my story is about you, not about me.
Why?
As you’ll see, your past doesn’t define you. And it doesn’t predict your future.
My hope is that by learning about the transformations I’ve had in my life, you’ll begin to see what change is possible for you, too.
Whether you’re in your 20s… feeling lost in the world as an adult… or a seasoned professional wondering if,
“Is this all there is?”…
Know that those places were very familiar to me. The good news is they don’t have to last forever.
Childhood trauma caused me to play small for decades (even when I thought I was playing the “game of life” correctly).
And whether or not any physical/emotional/verbal abuse is what’s causing YOU to feel stuck in your life or work today…
It is never too late (or too early) to design the life you truly want to live.
So let’s get to it… here’s how doing my trauma work changed my life.
I went from (and you can too!)…
And most importantly…
Not loving myself to… Fully accepting myself, flaws and all.
BUT… the work never ends.
I have more transformations ahead of me, more fears to befriend, more goals to achieve…
WHILE also being here, now, content with what IS.
As a woman, person of color, and first-generation American, I have a unique blend of experiences that shaped me… and so do you.
Once again – your past doesn’t define you. Each moment that unfolds, you get to choose.
What will you choose next?
Whatever you do…
Choose yourself every day, and see how much brighter the world gets because you do.
Trauma can make it hard to hear your real voice within. I’m here to help you, so you can use your power to live a life that’s truly in alignment with you.
