My dear friend,
There’s one thing you need to know right from the start if you choose to work with me: There will be no bypassing. Here, you will be called to confront your stories, face your pain, and feel it all—without shortcuts. Why? Because there are no bad feelings, no bad experiences, not even bad memories. Ditch that paradigm because all of it is valuable information, all of it is part of being gloriously human.
I say this with confidence, not from theory but from personal experience. I have spent over 13 years on a relentless search for the ‘one thing’ that would be my short cut. The one thing that would heal all of my s**t in one fell swoop. The magic wand that would save me time and effort. Want to know how that went?
Have a seat and sip your coffee while I spill my own tea:
- I started with clean nutrition and exercise believing that food was the only medicine my body needed. I earned a certificate at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, mastered what I fed my body, and pushed it physically; running, lifting, bending, and being hyper aware of every ingredient that passed my lips. What I really learned in this chapter is that a whole lot more than just my body needed healing.
- Next was Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) . I went out to LA and spent 7 days immersed in understanding my own mind, how I came to think and behave the way I think and behave, and how to change it. This was also my first taste of hypnotherapy and time line therapy. But this certification didn’t have all the answers I was looking for either.
- Then, I believed energy work held the answers. So I became a Reiki Master in both Usui and Angelic practices and earned certifications as an Access Consciousness Practitioner and Spiritual Life Coach. Diving into shadow work, light work, and I even became an ordained minister. Still, no lasting healing.
- Next, I tried self-expression. I earned a Therapeutic Art Coach certification and poured myself into creativity, thinking, “If I just release everything inside, I’ll find freedom.” Nope. A lot of fun, connected with my inner child, and some ah-ha moments, but not healed.
- Breathwork was my next obsession, became a Breathwork Facilitator and thought, “This has to be it,” And while it was certainly transformative, it wasn’t the complete answer.
- Psychedelics? After hearing incredible testimonies, I was sure I’d found the cure-all. I studied Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and I had some mind blowing experiences but was still missing something.
- Hypnotherapy came next, and I was convinced I had cracked the code by reprogramming my subconscious. I went all in and spent a full year earning my certificate as a Clinical Hypnotherapist. But—still not fully healed.
- I delved into Polyvagal Theory, studying how to reset my nervous system. Valuable? Yes. But not the full solution.
I have read over 100 books on these subjects and others in regard to healing, mindset, and overall personal development, I have attended dozens of workshops, seminars, and retreats, sought talk therapy practices, and most recently began Internal Family Systems (IFS) also known as Parts Therapy with cautious optimism. It’s going well, but here’s the truth:
Not a single one of these approaches alone worked.
Not. A. Single. One.
What did work? All of them together. When I look at my present day Self, I see how each modality has contributed to my healing. None were wasted efforts; each played a crucial role. Collectively, they have been life-changing.
This realization birthed The Dawn Method, the framework that underpins the Connected program. This is a year-long journey for a reason: there is no quick fix. You might find momentary peace in one practice, as I did, but deep, authentic transformation requires doing the deep work—the gritty, messy, extraordinarily beautiful work that you are so worthy of.
You are worth the time. You are worth the effort.
So let me say it again: This is no bypassing. You will be uncomfortable, but if you’re reading this you’re probably already someone that knows growth doesn’t happen in comfort zones.
The only shortcut I offer is my 13+ years of trial and error, my accumulated knowledge, and my hard-earned wisdom—condensed into one year. The rest? That’s up to you.
Commit to your evolution now and join Connected.
With love and unwavering belief in you,
Miranda
