The Nitty Gritty Life Story
From a young age, I knew I wanted to help others improve their lives just as I was going to do for myself. After surviving a troublesome childhood filled with dis-ease and losing my only parent in my teen years to addiction and alcoholism, I realized (with some Divine guidance) that I had the power to change my life and heal. After practicing positive thoughts, self-care and self-love/acceptance, I started to notice my health concerns falling away. My heart physically healed. My depression wasn't controlling me with overwhelming doubt and self-loathing. My body was stronger, healthier and more attractive! I knew I had to make a big change to keep this progress going. Before I was a legal adult, I left my home town of Orlando, FL and headed to Raleigh, NC. There, I graduated college with a B.S. in Nutrition Science, as I searched for a way to help others improve their lives. It is here I found a lovely man to marry and he validated the self-love that I had started to gain.
However, something was still missing, and as a result, anxiety and self-doubt crept in at my most vulnerable moments. I suffered from anxiety attacks and had no real passion for my plans in life. Then, as if an angel was sent to me, I had my first son. He is my spiritual catalyst and my alarm to wake up to higher consciousness. His presence made me question and rethink everything I believed to be true - from what household products I use to my beliefs on God and creation. The Divine Feminine Energy began to surge through me as I opened up to motherhood and nurturing myself as much as others. I stumbled upon an article on Empaths and Highly Sensitive People, which changed my world and opened me up to experiences I thought were only in science fiction novels. Just from understanding my sensitivity to energy, my whole existence started to make more sense. My fears turned to excitements. My flaws turned out to be my greatest gifts. I ran full force into self-awareness through meditation, yoga, healthier habits and writing. I am still running and I do not plan on stopping. It's a journey of a life time!
I believe we ALL have the power within us to change our lives and feel peace, fulfillment and bliss!
