The best way for me to tell you about the work I do is to tell you about a defining moment in my own life. I woke up one day in my mid-twenties and realized that once again I was at a crossroads. A road paved with one bad choice after another. I painfully realized that once again I had entered a relationship I had no business being in. Simultaneously, I also realized that all my choices were based entirely on the wrong criterion: what other people thought. Realizing my frustration at repeating this pattern and disappointment about the time I had wasted, I stood up and said to myself, out loud, mind you: “You knew when you started this relationship that it was not right. Your stomach has been in a knot and upset all this time. You haven’t felt comfortable in your own skin and you stopped doing and being around the things that you love. All of these things are going on and you refused to listen and pay attention to that. Now here you are again. I knew it from the very beginning and I know it now.”
Excited by this realization, I shared it with a dear friend, who with a grin as wide as her face congratulated me for finally listening to myself. So that's my inner voice, I thought to myself. I had heard it speaking to me before, but somehow I managed to ignore it. My friend was quick to add that it had always been there; I had just forgotten it. Since that day, checking in with my inner self is something I do quite regularly, and this has made all the difference. You see, I had spent so much time and so much energy trying to change myself to fit other people’s ideas about who I should be and how I should be instead of listening to my own inner voice that I had lost the real me. As a result of this discovery and continued attention to my inner guide, I experience more ease and well-being in my life than ever before. After talking to other women about my experience I quickly discovered that I was not the only one who tried to live her life based on the outside influence of "others," and that is why I have dedicated my life to helping women rediscover their own wisdom. This level of healing will offer the inspiration needed for us to live our lives with more ease and greater emotional and physical well-being!
