· Until 2016 / The list
I followed every step on the list.
When I graduated from high school, I followed my parents' advice for success: go to college, get a degree, find a good job, work your way up, find a partner, get married, buy a house, have kids. By 26, I had done almost all of it, plus moved to another country, learned a second language, and earned additional certifications. From the outside, I looked successful. Inside, I wasn't fulfilled. And success without fulfillment is its own kind of failure.
· 2016 / The undoing
Then everything fell apart at once.
The universe, or whatever you choose to call it, has a funny way of redirecting us. In 2016, my first marriage ended, the eating disorder worsened, my self-esteem hit rock bottom, the dream of becoming a mother was crushed, and the house we were about to buy fell through. It was painful. And somehow, something greater than me saw it as an invitation to transform my life and rebuild it in a way that would truly make me feel fulfilled and happy.
· 2016-2019 / The rebuilding
I let myself be undone, and slowly remade.
I started by getting to know myself deeply, from the heart, soul, and essence. I spent years inside holistic and spiritual practices: personal growth and emotional intelligence seminars, hundreds of books, meditation, energy center healing (Reiki), past life regressions, angel healing therapy, and systemic therapy. I read, I sat, I listened. I let myself be undone and slowly remade.
· 2019 / The promise
I made myself a promise.
In 2019, after overcoming bulimia and overeating, I made myself a promise: I would help as many people as I could, those struggling with disordered eating, women moving through breakups and divorce, anyone carrying a weight too heavy to lift alone or feeling stuck/lost. I started with family and friends, leading me to so much magic that I felt it was time to pursue this work full time.
