My Story

---

Where does one start their story when the path that led here has been rocky, jaggedy, and zig-zaggedy? There’s no starting point and no final destination. There’s Life: Part 1, and then there’s the death of that life giving birth to a new one. In Life: Part 1, I lived the life I set out to live, the life that we are all mostly conditioned to want to live. (School, job, marriage, house, kids.) I followed societal rules and got the “desired” results. Until, I received the gift that blew up that life and all of the illusions and betrayals that came with it. Life hasn’t been the same since, and I am so incredibly grateful that it hasn’t been. The truth really will set you free if you allow it to. 

We all go through traumas and situations that are less than enjoyable and often, the emotional pain feels unbearable and excruciating. It is in that deep feeling of pain and discomfort that we change. We transform. We morph. We become and we unbecome. Working through that pain and coming out of it is a step closer to becoming the next best version of ourselves. It is like a fire lit under ones ass for propelling one forward at a greater speed. In my trauma, the mirror was held up for me to see that the person I chose to spend my life with, couldn‘t love me in a healthy way and it only reflected back to me my own inability to love and be true to myself. His betrayal really shed light on my own betrayal. My own betrayal came when I began abandoning parts of myself. It took me years and years to realize I had done that. It was through the trauma that it all came out.. I was a mom of two young boys when my life blew up. I have never felt so alone and the devastation made it incredibly difficult to be the parent I imagined I would be. The constant flow of emotions and damaging thoughts polluted me and I was so worried my boys would be negatively impacted. My youngest was 7months. Betraying and abandoning myself is something that I never want to do again. 

Ever. Ever. Again.

There’s a reason we do this. We abandon the part of ourselves that we feel others won‘t love and accept. We abandon the seemingly ‘unlovable” parts because others may use them as a reason not to love us. And this is when we start to live as versions of ourselves that are incomplete and inauthentic. This is when we start to have discomfort although we may not realize it at the time.

I didn’t know what was missing. I didn’t have the tools to help me create a roadmap. It was a long and grueling process to figure out the underneath stuff. I would love to guide you to find your truth, your roadmap, and your WHY. My “WHY” is simple. My “WHY” is that we all deserve to be set free from the prison we lock ourselves up in. The prison that society builds for us. My “WHY’ is to help others see that self-love is the starting point. Genuine love and compassion for one’s truest, most authentic self. My “WHY“ is to help others see that whatever truly lights you up in this life is what you are meant to share with others. That’s why it lights you up! When our worlds are blown up so quickly, change happens at a quicker rate and causes everything that is meant to fall by the wayside to do so. What ever crumbles, makes room for something new, something aligned with the most current and aligned version of you.

What worked for me? Therapy. Support groups. Spiritual teachers. Working through my traumas, digging deep to find my inner child wounds no matter how stubborn I was about them at first. All of this along with mind shifts, finding reiki, and finding people with similar mindsets (soul family) really helped me step into the essence of who I am. Helped round out those jaggedy corners for a smoother journey. 

Now I want to support you on your journey to recover from things that could have broken you. I want to help you recover those parts of you that may have gotten lost and heal those parts that you maybe shut out. Empowering you to be your true self and finding your joy is my “WHY”. There is nothing more powerful than coming home to yourself. You deserve that and more. Let’s journey together until you find your own inner compass to guide you. Let me walk beside you until you are ready to continue on your own. It would be my honor to guide you to discovering parts of yourself that you have either forgotten, or never knew existed within you. It is an honor to help you find your way home.

With Love,

Annie
