My Story
With over 15 years of experience in the nonprofit performing arts as a wearer of many hats, I have shifted from the 40+ hour workweek, working 7 days a week, trying to do it all (yikes! – I know, not good) to working no more than 20 hours a week, taking random days off, and receiving a lot of support from my husband, loved ones, and Divine team.
I’ve hung up my superwoman cape and all the hats I thought I needed to wear. I’ve learned that this life we live is not meant to be lived alone. And it’s not just one and done. I continue to heal deeper layers of my superwoman and am learning what it means to live more freely every day.
I want moms (moms-to-be) to feel empowered to protect their peace, tap into their thriving energy, and align with their life’s overall vision, so they can get off the hamster wheel of survival and exhaustion. It’s time to connect AND accept who YOU love to be.
A Journey to Self-Connection Begins
My self-connection and healing journey began over 10 years ago when I found myself in the middle of Washington Square Park in NYC on the phone with mom asking her if it was okay for me to get help, to seek out someone to help me with my mental health.
I was in the middle of a huge emotional break, felt completely unsupported, and in way over my head. I was pursuing a degree in flute performance, was in an unhealthy relationship, and had no idea what I wanted out of life.
I felt lost, numb, and my body felt like it was in a constant state of breakdown. I was in and out of doctors’ offices and ERs, seeing every specialist, getting every scan imaginable, and yet I still had ZERO answers as to why I was experiencing excruciating abdominal pain. The solution was to take a muscle relaxer every time to help ease the pain. But that muscle relaxer knocked me out. I couldn’t do a single thing and had to sleep. Well, hindsight is 20-20, and I really did need that rest and healing time …
My body was trying to tell me to slow down, breathe, rest, sleep, and trust myself. I missed ALL those messages. Every single message from my body was ignored or stuffed away – and so were the emotions that were causing these physical symptoms in my body.
What lead me to working with a life coach?
(And how a flute lesson led me to the power of mindfulness )
So, I tried going to one of the therapists at NYU but it wasn’t a good fit. I felt like I was supported during each session but when I walked out of my therapist’s office, I felt alone and completely unsure of what to do to process and heal what happened in each session. I’m sure this counselor was a great fit for someone else, just not me. I was desperate and reached out to a trusted mentor for some guidance.
This beautiful Soul invited me to a flute masterclass that embraced me as a human being and not just a flute playing machine. This is where I meditated for the first time, where I started listening to my body, and where I was introduced to the power of mindfulness.
I learned early on that trust was key for me to heal and that I wasn’t meant to do this alone. And, 11 years later, I am deepening my trust in myself and God.
My life coach is an integral part of my self-connection and healing journey (the same person I’ve been with since that flute masterclass!). I have an amazing support system that I lean on without guilt (okay there’s still some guilt there), and I am living life in a way that overflows my cup, not just filling it.
Becoming a Mom
As a mom, it doesn't feel natural putting myself first, ahead of my kids. But here’s the thing, putting myself first doesn’t put me ahead of my kids, it puts us on the same level playing field. It sets us all up for a nurturing day, helps me support them through their emotional development, and keeps us all grounded.
When I became a mom, my superwoman self tried to adopt those old workaholic tendencies and push my needs to the side. Out of fear of making a mistake (perfection) and putting unrealistic expectations on myself, I put my needs to the side. I poured all my energy into their needs and didn’t address mine. I was depleted, short tempered, and absolutely done. AND this can still happen to me when I’m not overflowing my cup and making time for self-connection every day.
Human Being ≠ Super Human
After a year of living like a squirrel in the middle of a busy street, I decided it was time to go deeper on my healing journey. I needed to remind myself that I am a human being and not a super human. I went deeper by investing my time and energy into ME. I got certified in the very methods that helped me receive more love and abundance in my life. The Therapeutic Meditation Process™ (TMP) and Release The 3P’s™️ have brought me to where I am today.
I am living a more peaceful, balanced life. Is it perfect? No, I don’t want perfection, I want progress and growth. It’s not always easy feeling and listening to the messages my body and my emotions are bringing me, but it is necessary. I have the tools and support to get through the roughest days and the biggest cheerleader section to celebrate my wins with me. By protecting my peace, my quiet time, and my emotional, physical, and mental well-being, I am a more grounded, expansive, loving, and compassionate human being.
I am someone I love being with as I continue to grow and evolve. Something I wish for you too.
