FROM SURVIVING TO BECOMING: My Journey of Healing, Awakening, & Reclaiming Who I Am ✨

PART I — The Wounds: What Shaped Me

My childhood was filled with happy moments, but also traumatic ones.

Living with a family member who struggled with a mental health condition, I constantly walked on eggshells. My first experience of abuse happened at a very young age, creating fear and anxiety that I carried for years.

I learned that it wasn’t safe to express myself. So, I suppressed my emotions, stopped asking for what I needed, and became extremely critical of myself.

I didn’t feel good enough. I compared myself to others. I struggled with low self-esteem, perfectionism, and accepting who others said I was instead of knowing who I truly was.

Because my boundaries had been violated so young, I didn’t understand what healthy boundaries looked like. As an adult, I became a people-pleaser—putting others’ needs before my own, tolerating disrespect, suppressing my feelings, and sacrificing my happiness and peace of mind with the hopes of being loved and accepted.

PART II — The Awakening: How I Healed

Around 2013, my healing journey began. 🌱

I began to AWAKEN and release the beliefs, emotions, behaviors, and patterns that were keeping me from being my true, authentic self.

I learned to: 

✨ Let go of feeling unworthy and “not good enough”

✨ Heal painful emotions, including shame

✨ Set and maintain healthy boundaries

✨ Love and accept myself unconditionally

✨ Break unhealthy generational patterns

✨ Forgive myself and those who hurt me

✨ Release people-pleasing and perfectionism

✨ Reclaim my power and my identity

One of the biggest breakthroughs was realizing that I couldn’t expect someone else to give me what I hadn’t learned to give myself.

When I learned to love and accept myself, everything began to change—including the relationships I attracted.

My voice was silenced for years, but no longer. 💛

I no longer dim my light or play small to make others comfortable.

I am not who people said I was.

I AM who God has always known me to be. 🙏🏽💛

PART III — The Purpose: Why I’m Here

I’ve always been fascinated by human behavior and what’s beneath the surface. That passion led me to earn my B.A. in Psychology.

I know firsthand how challenging healing unresolved trauma and emotional wounds can be.

But I also know this:

Healing can transform your life.

My journey has been challenging, sacred, and deeply transformative. ✨ And I believe everything I’ve walked through has prepared me for my purpose:

To help people heal from the inside out. 💛

If you see yourself somewhere in my story, please know:

You are enough.

You are not alone.

You are not the labels placed on you.

You are not your wounds.

And you don’t have to remain who you had to become to survive.

There is more of you waiting to be awakened. 🌱
