We have more in common than you think.

I’ve walked, and will continue to walk, my own healing and growth journey for as long as I’m here at earth school.

Did I always know that is what I was doing? No, of course not. I began my journey as unplugged from myself and disconnected from my true nature as I could possibly have been.

What I knew was that I wasn’t happy. I was riddled with shame and fear, and I truly believed myself to be utterly worthless.

I had done a wonderful job of collecting what felt like: insurmountable evidence of my lack of worth, of the world being an unsafe and unloving place for me, of my then-truth that the only way I could be worthy would be to do more, fix more, serve more. All of it coming from a place of need, pressure, and fear. Can you imagine how that worked out for me? Yeah, it wasn’t pretty or graceful or pleasant. This approach to life was, with hindsight, necessary to set me on the path of seeking and an openness to the resources that have since served me well.

At every stage of the journey, I have been blessed to receive the right technique or modality, the right tool, the right therapist, the patient teacher, the mentor that held the mirror and then my hand as I sobbed with the realisation of it all. The loving colleague, family member or friend who either pushed the next button or held me as I waded through. All divinely curated and exactly as it needed to be, though of course I didn’t always see or feel that.
