Finding myself, becoming a healthy bodied, and confident minded woman did not come natural or at all easy for me. I essentially had to create an alter ego for the woman I longed to be, and actually become her in all aspects of my life.

Before becoming this woman, my life looked a lot different.

I was raised by an uninvolved mother, and an absent father. I entered the foster system at age nine – but not before experiencing life events that not child should experience. I then became a legal adult at age 14, worked two jobs, and graduated high school early.

I knew I wanted my life to be different, but I was hardened. I carried around many traumas, opinions, and fears that caused me to make decisions that untimely led me further and further away from my now confident and feminine energy having self. 

After having my first baby, I hit rock bottom. I knew nothing of being a soft mother, or a caretaker. I had no idea who I was, or even how to find out. I had no connection to myself.

I began having physical health struggles such as autoimmune symptoms, depression, overstimulation,  and simply the loss of my internal light. This effected me as a woman, a mother, and ultimately effected my relationships – including the one I had with myself.
