I believe each of us came into this world knowing our true purpose and fully equipped with everything we need to fulfill it. But over time, many of us lose sight of that mission. Life has a way of dimming our light. And let’s be honest, living in this world isn’t always easy.

Through experience, I’ve come to understand that every trauma, heartbreak, soul ache, and deep disappointment leaves a wound in the subconscious. Wounds that need to be acknowledged and healed. Like so many women, I carried layer upon layer of soul wounds that quietly shaped the quality of my life.

There were times I felt completely alone. I felt trapped in a dark hole—scared, abandoned, and so overwhelmed by pain that I wished I could die. Life had already handed me more than my share of heartbreak: betrayal, violence, survival, and a grief so deep it silenced everything else. I lost my granddaughter, and something inside me broke. I was furious. I couldn’t pray. I couldn’t pretend. For almost a year, I stopped speaking to God. That was my long, soul-crushing dark night of the soul.

But everything began to change when I stopped asking, “Why is this happening to me?” and started asking, “How can I use this to help someone else make it through?” That shift in perspective changed everything.

It opened my heart to the path of healing and helped me uncover my true purpose—to support others as they find their own healing and step into the powerful, radiant women they were created to be.
