What Is My Why?

A Lifelong Knowing

Something that comes to me quite often since starting my business is the question of why… why I do this work, and how I got here.

I've always had a knowing. Since childhood, I could see, sense, feel, and hear spirit. As an empath, deeply attuned to the emotions and energies of those around me, I quickly learned that this wasn’t something to talk about openly. I tried to suppress it. There were times I even considered that maybe I was “crazy.” But it never went away.

“My intuition was always on point. I had just learned to doubt it.”

Behind the Mask

For most of my life, I wore a heavy mask. I hid what I experienced, even from myself. I gaslit myself into believing I was overthinking or being dramatic, especially in situations where others clearly embodied harmful, predatory, or abusive behaviors.

But the truth was, my intuition was sharp and persistent, it was simply being ignored.

Learning to Trust Again

Learning to trust myself was harder than giving in to the doubts. And yet, the intuitive hits kept getting stronger. Validations came from everywhere, sometimes even from skeptics. I was my own biggest skeptic for a while, too.

But now? Now I fully embrace who I am.

Not everyone understands or supports me, and that’s okay. What matters most is that I believe and trust in myself.

“Today, I don’t just teach empowerment, I embody it.”

Healing Work with Heart

For over two decades, I worked in mental health, always encouraging others to develop self-awareness and empowerment. Today, I bring that same compassion and guidance to the spiritual realm. The journey to self-love and acceptance, especially after difficult life experiences, isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.

And here’s the icing on the cake: I genuinely care about people. I love being part of their healing journeys. But whether it’s age, experience, or simply stepping into my Crone era; I no longer worry whether everyone connects with me or approves of what I do.

“We all have similar skills, but different personalities. What matters most is that you feel supported and empowered.”

Letting Go with Love

As for the people who’ve caused pain in my life, I wish them well. I truly do. As an empath, I can often see the unhealed wounds behind their actions. However, I also now accept that I cannot do the work for them. Healing is a personal journey. No one can be forced to change. They have to recognize the need, the desire, and the will to do the work.

The Tower, The Hanged Man, and the Phoenix

For a long time, my life felt like a roller coaster, trying to anticipate others’ needs, trying to be their light, worrying that I was never enough. Years of burnout brought what felt like an identity crisis, but it was actually my Tower card moment.

My choices? Stay stuck in a Hanged Man position… or accept the call of the Death card.

As a Scorpio sun, I know well the cycles of death and rebirth. Like the phoenix, I’ve risen from ashes time and again. I now understand: whether with myself, with the living, or with spirit, I’ve been called to help bring light to the shadows.
