I always lived my life in a way that was very disconnected from my body, emotions, and anything "feel-y". Even though I strived to take great care of my physical health, I had no idea how distant I was from my mind and spirit (and how detrimental this was to my overall well being). Because of this, I struggled with anxiety, codependency, lack of self-worth, a lot of anger, and A LOT of emotional baggage. The worst part was, I didn't notice the toll it was taking on my life until a gradual mental breakdown spiritual awakening happened.
After hitting a low in my life, I knew that something needed to shift. I didn't want to FEEL depressed, alone, defeated, and unworthy anymore. I had to find a way out.. a way to escape my own thoughts. What I learned is, the only way out is to go within.
For me, this started with meditation, gratitude, finding my own spirituality, and allowing myself to actually feel (and use those feelings as guides). I eventually found breathwork, which created even more of an opportunity to move through stuck energy and better regulate my emotions & anxiety.
I wanted to STOP BREAKING DOWN MENTALLY
In early 2024, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor that had been slowly growing on my brainstem. Not only did these somatic practices help me get through a time of great physical and mental defeat, it gave me a sense of peace during my journey, & also allowed me to process trauma from the event. So whether you are currently suffering through a life circumstance (big or small), or just feel called to connect deeper with yourself, know you are in the right place.
One thing I've learned is that google doesn't have the answers to what you need - YOU have those answers. And the way to find them and change your inner world is to go in there. To stop running from those thoughts and quit avoiding whatever it is that you should be facing. All the answers are already within you - and by regulating your nervous system and stress response, we can find healing.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW there's more to life than this.
