On becoming my own best coach

The story of why I started

I sent myself to boarding school at the age of sixteen and left behind family and friends for a foreign country half the world away. I thought I was seeking freedom and independence but the truth was that I was lost and in search of myself. At sweet-sixteen, I didn’t know any better so I stumbled through life mostly on my own. I didn’t know how to be my own parent.

So for thirty-one years, I was lost and found in the deep blue sea. Somedays I floated through life like stardust and other days I drifted deep into the ocean. I didn’t know how to navigate as the captain of my own ship with each tidal wave pulling me further away from my anchor. Every few years a freak wave would hit and I eventually fell into depression. A series of cathartic events compelled me to seek the clarity I needed to bring back the fearlessly loving and happy girl I once knew.

I share my journey towards healing and self-mastery in hopes of inspiring and uplifting others especially in times of complexity and uncertainty. Life will always gift us with challenges that can become opportunities for us to grow closer to ourselves. When you act on the courage to look inward, what you gain are the clarity and strength to live boldly.

Love,
