Transforming Hurdles into Priceless Jewels –
Unleash Your Full Potential
On the surface, everything looks hunky dory, however life has presented many challenges. Many of those challenges were brushed under the carpet, perceived as something normal that everyone goes through. As I grew older however, I realized the power those experiences held over me. How they stifled my self-esteem, dimmed my light, and stopped me from pursuing my dreams. Somewhere in the back of my mind a little voice was saying “you don’t have the experience to do that”, “you are lacking the credentials”, “who are you to teach others?” or the proverbial “women don’t do these things!”
Over the years and little by little, I inched myself out of the abyss of “not being good enough” to wanting to shine my light. I want to share everything I know with other women out there who need that push to step into their own greatness.
I like to think of my challenges like pieces of coal under pressure that turn into diamonds as I work on them. Taking time to understand myself, acknowledge what is truly mine and not what others in my life decided was my own way of thinking and being. Learning how to really enjoy spending time in my mind and my heart and liking what I feel. And most of all learning to love and appreciate myself and all the wonderful things I have accomplished so far.
Remembering the saying: What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, I feel quite strong indeed. I have harnessed many gems over the years. I also feel more vulnerable but in a good way. Sharing my true emotions helps me stay true to myself. I know that what I have overcome and continue to tackle is no small task.
It is an exciting path to freedom. Freedom from feeling unsafe, feeling not cared for, from experiencing a sense of abandonment in the past. Most of all a sense of freedom from knowing deep in my heart that all this was for a reason; that my journey is my gift to the world, and to other women out there who have experienced similar challenges.
Stepping into my whole self has not been easy and it has taken me decades to become aware of the self I had locked away. It has been a journey of perseverance and resilience. You could term it my very own “heroes’ journey”. Or several journeys. I have learned so much and I am so grateful for all that have patiently stood by me during this time.
Paying it forward has brought so much joy to me. Sharing what I’ve learned and the tools of my success with all of you. Guiding you, helping you find that clarity and showing you the powerful tools that lie deep inside of you and help you see life in a whole other way.
Life can be a struggle or it can be an exploration. It is such an honor to be able to help other women on their journey to finding joy and success in every aspect of their lives.
We all have the right to align with our heart’s purpose, as our purpose is not merely to exist but to truly flourish. I firmly believe that each of us contributes our unique essence to the collective energy of our planet, which we call home. By infusing the world with goodness, we create a reservoir of joy and love that enriches us all. However, exploring the depths of this concept is a tale for another occasion.
For now, I invite you to harness the power of your past to create exquisite fuel for your present!
Find a peaceful place to close your eyes, bring a warm healing breath into your heart, hold it for a moment, feel the love, then exhale it into your body. Repeat as needed. Journal your experience.
You deserve this moment and the essence of Self-Love! ❤
