From a young age, I struggled with feelings of not being enough, constantly questioning whether I was “measuring up”. I would harshly judge myself and my life because nothing matched the idealized version I thought it should. As an adult, after experiencing severe fatigue and burnout from feeling responsible for ensuring the happiness of everyone around me and the need for everything to turn out “perfectly,” I embarked on a journey of self-discovery.
In my quest for inner peace, I refocused my life to learning, healing, and reclaiming my authentic self. I recognized the need to reevaluate the unrealistic expectations I had inherited and to carve out a path that felt authentic to me.
As the love for myself and compassion for my lived experiences strengthened, I learned to embrace change with peace, possibility and a deep sense of worth. I knew there were others just like me, stuck in the overwhelm, so I committed to following my passion to help others.
Through facing numerous challenges, I've proven to myself that I can do hard things—but I've also realized that not everything I do has to be hard. While change can be difficult, I've discovered that it can also be exhilarating. Through exploring what truly brings me joy, I've continuously reinvented my life to align with those passions.
I wholeheartedly believe that life is a journey, not a destination! As a Certified Resilience and Empowerment Coach, I can guide you through your own self-discoveries. What exciting experiences await you?
