My Origin Story
I've always been an anxious little girl. On a good day, this meant that I had TONS of energy to share with others and could immediately elevate an entire crowd of people to feel happy and entertained.
But on a bad day, this meant I could easily attack others with tons of worry and create frustration for everyone in my space. I struggled with self love because I hated this part of myself. I hated that I couldn't get a handle on my emotions and didn't know how to express myself to others so I could get proper help. The word "anxiety" was unfamiliar to me growing up and it wasn't until I went to college did I even learn what it was. This lack of knowledge led to a lot of poor choices in coping skills, friendships, communication, boundaries, and ultimately the pain and weight of it all-led to depression. My family and I frequently sought out help from others to teach me how to cope with life in healthy ways and I picked up a TON of skills along the way but I still struggled with self confidence, assertive communication, and total self love. It wasn't until I started to embrace my anxiety that I found true freedom and peace. In embracing my anxiety, I found strength because I started to realize that my anxieties forced me to identify the situations and people who triggered me. It showed me the areas I needed to work on; such as demanding respect from others AND myself. It showed me the parts I needed to heal and it also showed me that I have a LOT of inner strength that is able to respond to my anxiety in a healthy way. The greatest thing my anxiety gave me was the awareness that when pushed far enough, another part of me would shine through. This piece of me was brave, courageous, decisive, assertive, respectful of others but commanded respect in return, a warrior, and confident of who she was and what she wanted. Insecurity and fear do not rule her. Severe anxiety, peer pressure, and stress often triggered her to emerge but I found that through a healthy spiritual practice complete with various meditation practices, crystals, a healthy mindset, affirmations, etc. I could nurture her in a way that allowed her to emerge without being triggered by negative energy. My Goddess, untouched by the judgments of others and unwounded by past pains, she is my protector and the more I cherished and loved her, the easier it became to speak up for myself, create healthy boundaries, control my anger, handle disappointments, and ultimately manage my anxiety. So, I know the journey. And that's why I became a coach and speaker, so I could help you learn how to tap into your Inner Goddess. The YOU that already knows the answers and already KNOWS what she wants. The you that can handle your anxiety, sadness, unhappiness, anger, and fears in a healthier way and create a life that makes you deeply happy. |
