Even though I spent nearly 2 years earning my Master Coaching Certification with Jai Institute for Parenting, studying Generational Pattern/Communication/ Connection/ Mindset/ Emotion/Regulation/ Boundary and Radical Reflection Coaching techniques--- I still found myself trapped in bouts of emotional dysregulation resulting in indecision, self sabotage and low self esteem. π Books, Youtube University and Generic Group learning of the science and the tools didn’t help me fully. It got so bad I was waking up at 3am with a racing heart, questioning if my young daughter would be better off without me and with intense shame that my life was not pristine and perfect. π’ (Despite how it looked on social media.) All that to say, I know how painful it can be. And, I know what it’s like to be on the other side of it. To be able to say: π) I’m free of the mind numbing effects of a lifetime of gaslighting and emotional/verbal abuse. (No, never physically.) π) I’ve grounded my nervous system and enjoy full nights of rest. π) And, I have a life where I no longer feel victimized, frozen in indecision and afraid of abandonment and manipulation. The best part is I go to bed at night grateful for: π How far I’ve come and how proud I know my Mom, now teenage Daughter, Younger sister, Aunties & Grandmothers are/would be of me for healing the legacy of the future Feminine Divine in our families. πMy community: the coaches, mentors, friends, confidants, teachers and family that allowed me a safe space to receive and to give and grow, without judgment. πThe opportunity to build a heart led business based on passion, purpose, permission, personal authority, and power after pain. So, even though there’s a part of me that thinks I’m sharing too much about my life’s work, my deeper truth is that I’m only able to be here authentically like this because I chose to commit and invest in myself via personal development and coaching. Notably, sharing my story isn’t at all about me seeking sympathy—it’s about how I can use that journey to serve others. π― What I want more than anything is to help women who feel emotionally broken, stuck in functioning depression, and wondering if they’ll ever feel connected to themselves again realize that with Consistensitency, Compounded Effects and Community life can have a whole new meaning. I'm proof AND I'm here to help. Have you ever wondered if healing could truly change your life—or if you’d stay stuck, no matter how much you tried? If you (or any woman you know) struggles with a spiraling foggy and confused mindset, shattered nervous systems, and/or recovery from narcissistic abuse– I’d be honored to support you (or someone you care about). π» Life is too short to live without freedom and personal authority.
