This is my transformative journey of resilience, self-discovery, and empowerment. My life was once a turbulent storm, waking up each day thinking: ‘this cant be all there is to life.’ I stood resilient, seeking a brighter path. From the depths of despair I emerged, driven by a deep desire for more than just mere existence.

Raised by a single mom in modest circumstances, I learned early on the power of perseverance, yet I often felt alone, labeled the 'black sheep’ in the family. Traumatic events during my childhood, from sexual abuse and bullying to divorced parents shaped my identity. In my late teens I hit rock bottom, finding myself in a jail cell, disconnected from my core values and true Knowing.

Recognizing this as a turning point, I distanced myself from negative friends and influences, embracing a sense of control over my life. The foundation of my commitment to freedom of expression and autonomy materialized in the form of a cleaning business- founded within months of reclaiming my narrative and what I held to know true.

The pivotal moment came when I confronted my inner self, acknowledging sacred secrets and insecurities. This journey into self-love and authenticity became a beacon of hope in what seemed to be years of never-ending struggle. Embracing personal development, I delved into books, podcasts, and transformative practices, reshaping my mindset. Through somatic exercises, self-coaching, therapy, and intentional lifestyle changes, I discovered the power of words and mindset in building confidence. Now, as a Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) student, I draw upon my experiences and teachings to guide others on their journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and positive transformation.
