My hero's journey has taken me on a path from

the shadow of VICTIMIZATION to the gift of FREEDOM.

I was programmed to

LOOK OUTSIDE MYSELF FOR THE ANSWERS,

FIX THE PROBLEM,

TO NOT FEEL, BE TOUGH, WORK HARD AND

"DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD".

This left "highly sensitive me" feeling disempowered,

"not enough", disconnected, stuck, and angry.

My reaction for years was to escape, build up my armour,

and numb myself just to feel safe in the world.

Something inside told me there was more for me.

It was revealed to me over 2+ decades of seeking healing.

Trusting in the process was not easy.

But, I'm here thriving today thanks to

my discipline, drive and support network.

I chose to lean into the struggle, challenge,

and ultimately surrender to dissolve

these stories of fear and victimization.

BTW, I'm also a work in progress!

This work has led me to realize that...

It's my "GIFT OF SENSITIVITY" that has opened me up to more

JOY, LOVE and COMPASSION for myself .

Learning to become gentle and patient with myself

has turned into my superpower.

The "gift of sensitivity" has given me the strength of self-awareness,

balance, and healing.

This gift learns fast, grows as I grow, allows me to "read a room", and opens me up to the possibilities of life.

NOW I CAN SERVE WITH THIS ENERGY

and help others fine tune their instruments.
