About Me

Who am I?

The answer is simple: someone I never imagined I could be.

I often look back at who I was just a few years ago - full of rage, resentment, lack of faith, and belief in myself. And, last but certainly not least, trapped in the cycle of people-pleasing. I went above and beyond for others because I wanted them to feel seen, heard, and supported, something I deeply craved but never truly received. I stayed in friendships, relationships, and places that weren’t meant for me.

I spent years repeating the same cycles with different people, never truly understanding why. Why was the love I gave constantly thrown back in my face? Why was I always drained, irritated, and disconnected? I didn’t realize I was pouring into everyone else’s cup while completely neglecting my own. I didn’t see how much I was shrinking myself, overthinking how I came across, just to avoid upsetting people. I had a deep urge to speak my truth but felt punished every time I did. I carried a strong sense of injustice but I was fighting it in all the wrong ways.

I knew something had to change, but I didn’t realize the change had to start with me.

I began my first round of therapy and there’s no other way to describe it but to say I was plunged into the depths of darkness. I relived every childhood and teenage wound. I felt the tightness in my chest as old emotions resurfaced. I couldn’t believe I had experienced that level of rage at such a young age, especially when the memories made me feel so unsafe in my adult body.

That was the moment I realised how deeply I had neglected myself just to feel loved, just to feel seen while expecting everyone else to give me what I wasn’t giving to myself. That was the moment I stopped overextending. I started saying no. I stopped fighting for people to stay in my life. I surrendered. I let the things, the relationships, and the people go that were no longer aligned.

I began fighting for me in healthy ways. Taking breaks when I needed to. Meditating daily. Walking in nature. Practicing positive self-talk. Becoming my own biggest cheerleader. Speaking my truth and being okay with others not being okay with that. Because I finally learned this: the people who are truly for you will never misunderstand your heart. You don’t have to explain yourself to those who love you.

A state of being. Freedom.

Freedom to be me.

I found my light through the very darkness I had once dimmed. I am now just me. Embracing both the light and the shadow, living in balance. Accepting every part of myself, past and present. I am grateful for every experience, every lesson, because they’ve shaped who I am today. I am trusting my intuition. I’ve developed strong discernment. And now, I can stand firmly in my truth because I followed the path back home to myself.

This path can be isolating, Standing in your authenticity and following your soul’s calling won’t always be understood by others and that’s okay. The motto I live by now is:

“Be scared, and do it anyway.”

No great story ever began in a comfort zone.

My journey is far from over. There is still so much to discover, so many paths to walk. But I am now in a place where I want to help others find their way too, to stand in their truth, authenticity, and power.

To create inner alchemy, so that we can all rise together.
