I'm here

Before, I simply existed. I’ve never known stability. Only worry and fear, amplified by the multitude of hardships that came with having a degenerative disease. I was losing my mind alongside my body. Determined to save me, I started showing up for myself. I started making space for myself. I started giving myself permission and I started choosing myself—committed to creating myself anew.

Years later, I’m still dedicated to the practice of undoing, unlearning, and rewiring on a cellular level; it doesn’t stop. I’ve become a new person, both physically and emotionally, both personally and professionally—and my thirst for living my truth and potential continues to evolve. I’m not caught in the resistance anymore. I’ve learned to surrender; I’m soft and less contracted, enabling me to honour the highs and lows, and what is, with clarity.

I’ve essentially learned to enjoy the simple pleasure of being. You can make your own reality feel the way you want to by choosing to feel your best self. Your higher self. Your loving self, thus ending war in yourself. When you heal your own pain, you are not adding more suffering to the world—and you can show up more fully for others, creating harmony within and around. Take care of yourselves, people.

Here’s my self-portrait, undoing the wallflower narrative. I’m showing up, baring my inner blueprint for all to see. And I hope more of you will, too ♥️.
