My Ground Zero

Turning Inward: A Journey to Self-Discovery

As an Energy Healer, I hold space for transformation every day. I guide others through their defining moments - their breakthroughs, their healing, and the clarity of their life lessons through their challenging times.

My journey has been shaped by defining moments—those instances when everything changes, forcing me to look within. Reflecting on my own path, I want to take you back to a pivotal moment—my own ground zero. The moment where everything I had built crumbled, leaving me alone with one undeniable truth: I had to turn inward and face what I'd been running from my whole life—myself.  This moment shaped my path to become a healer - it was the cross roads that brought me to who I am today.

The Wisdom Within: My Ground Zero Moment

In 2008, my divorce shattered everything I thought I was building—my vision of life, love, and family. The identity I had clung to as a wife and mother was gone. For the first time in a long time, I was alone with myself. And it was terrifying.

No distractions. No roles to fill.

Just me… and the truth.

My truth.

I sat in my new condo, in a new place, alone. Growing up, I was the youngest of two adopted children, raised in a home with a stay-at-home mom. Since the age of 14, I had always been in a relationship, jumping from one to the next, eventually into marriage—seeking outwardly to fill the huge void inside myself, running from the fear of being alone.

Looking back, the last time I had truly been alone was at birth. The pain and triggers of my adoption were loud. But I digress—this is not the time to get into that part of my story. I share more about that here: My Greatest Teacher, Adoption.

At this moment—my ground zero—I felt disconnected, adrift, lost. I had spent my life looking outward to find love and fulfillment, adapting who I was to fit what I thought I needed to be, what I thought others wanted so that I would be loved and accepted.

And now, I was left with the realization that I had spent my life learning what not to do—making mistakes, trying to course-correct, reacting instead of leading. Always looking outward for answers and approval.

That approach to life had to stop. I wanted something different.

I wanted clarity.

I wanted ease.

I wanted to be centered and anchored in myself.

And in that space of uncertainty, something profound happened.

I got quiet.

I turned inward.

I started listening—to my thoughts, my emotions, my intuition.

What once felt loud and scary softened into something compassionate. My inner world expanded, revealing hidden truths.

And for the first time, I felt self-forgiveness, self-love.

I was no longer anchored to my trauma.

I was no longer tethered to the expectations of who I should be.

I was anchored to my True Self.

That moment marked the beginning of a new path—one that led me to heal, trust, listen, and embody my feelings. To live from my intuition. To fully step into my purpose.

The Power of Turning Inward

My feelings became my gateway to transformation. At that time in my life, fear and a lack of safety stood at the threshold, inviting me to turn inward. I ran from them until I had nowhere left to run…

“Running” took many forms:

• Staying busy—overscheduling, overworking, overdoing to avoid stillness.

• Avoidance—redirecting attention to others, distractions, anything but myself.

• Numbing—reaching for substances, screens, habits that dulled the discomfort.

• Clinging to rigid beliefs to avoid questioning deeper truths.

• Shutting down—overwhelm, stress, anxiety, depression, exhaustion.

These patterns were my system's way of protecting me, keeping me from discomfort or pain. But they didn’t truly protect me—they disconnected me. They distorted the truth and kept me from doing the inner work that led to healing.

My feelings were not the enemy. The fear I had been running from was actually an invitation, my guide, my teacher—a call to connect with myself. It had patiently followed me and grew louder the more I ignored it. Not to punish me—it got louder because it was asking to be heard.

When I turned toward it instead of away, everything shifted.

It softened, became my teacher, and revealed what was waiting to be healed—for me to accept myself, forgive myself, and love myself.

I know firsthand that transformation happens from the inside out. It begins with the smallest act of courage—the willingness to grow, to lean into the unknown parts of myself, to be honest and vulnerable. And it always involves feeling what I had avoided feeling.

At first, that process felt painful. Even terrifying. But on the other side?

Freedom.

The Path to Healing and Embodiment

For me, my ground zero was my beginning to choose me. To REALLY choose me first! Every step since has led me here—to teaching, to guiding, to helping others step into their own clarity and ease.

At my core, I’m a teacher. Helping others uncover their gifts and bring deep, transformational healing into the world is my heart’s purpose.

Transformation Doesn’t Have to Be a Struggle—It Can Come Through Ease. 

In my journey, I discovered that ease wasn’t about avoiding challenges but about surrendering to the process. When I stopped resisting my emotions and instead embraced them, clarity emerged, leading me toward healing. Ease came when I trusted my intuition, embraced stillness, and let go of the need to control everything. The more I softened, the more clarity and synchronicities flowed into my life.

We are not meant to hold our burdens forever, and we do not need to relive them! They are lessons along the way.
