Guess what? I've written a chapter in a book that's coming out on October 4th! 🎉
Some of you know that back in 2016, I went through a deeply terrifying spiritual/paranormal experience that left me with severe PTSD. I spent years in solitude, connecting with nature and the elements, hardly leaving my home. My world shifted, and even though I'm naturally outgoing, I found myself craving solitude more than ever. The struggle to fit in has always been real for me, but after what I went through, it became even more challenging.
Fast forward to 2021, I decided to dip my toes back into the 'normal' world, but my perspective had completely changed. Even though I love people, I struggled to find my place again. And to be honest, sitting still and focusing—especially in front of a computer—became incredibly difficult. Despite being a highly gifted trauma and childhood abuse coach and a previously tech-savvy individual, I struggled and couldn't find the confidence to fully commit to making it my full-time path and I job hopped from one minimum wage workplace to the next.
Recently, the universe threw me a curveball, giving me an opportunity that required all the skills I had once left behind when I left the corporate world. It was tough—so tough that I cried at my desk more than once. It took me several days to do what I used to be able to do in a couple days, it was boring and analytical, had to be thorough, and accurate as someone else's welfare was riding on it. I pushed through it and even surprised myself - the amazing finished product confirmed that my brain still had the capacity for high-level work.
Next, I found myself working on my chapter for this book. Even this process, which started as just writing, turned into deep healing and reignited my passion for helping others reconnect with their forgotten inner child’s guidance, our wisest voice from within. It's that inner child that reconnects us with our true gifts, skills, and abilities.
Now, I’m finally stepping into the work I’ve been meant to do—helping people release childhood trauma—and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ll be sharing more about this soon.
This journey has been transformational, and I’m so grateful to Dina Marais for the work she does, as it has brought me out of a deep and long term stint of avoidance of life. If you're interested in contributing to one of her upcoming multi-author books, definitely reach out to her.
And hey, if you're curious about my story and the stories of others, I’d love for you to check out the book when it drops on October 4th! Your support would mean the world to me. 💛
