Rediscovering your power: heal, align, and create the life you deserve

Alanna B.

There were times in my life when everything felt overwhelming — like I was barely keeping my head above water, unsure of who I was or where I was going. But deep down, I always carried a sense that I was meant for more. Through my own healing journey, I discovered the abundance of the universe and the truth that we are all creators, born with the power to shape our lives with intention and purpose. As I rebuilt my self-worth and reconnected with my inner wisdom, I made it my mission to hold space for others on the same path. Now, I guide people through emotional healing, spiritual clarity, and deep transformation — helping them remember who they truly are and what they're capable of creating.

Navigating dating with confidence and clarity

Angela V.

I’ve dated with my heart wide open—and I’ve also dated with walls up so high, no one could reach me. I’ve fallen fast, I’ve healed slow, and I’ve made choices from both clarity and confusion. Over the years, I’ve learned that dating isn’t just about finding the right person—it’s about staying rooted in who you are while navigating connection, chemistry, and sometimes, disappointment. For a long time, I thought I had to shape-shift to be more likable, more agreeable, less ‘too much.’ But the best relationships I’ve experienced came when I stopped performing and started showing up as my whole self—quirks, scars, dreams and all. Dating can be vulnerable, especially when you’ve been hurt. But it can also be joyful, empowering, and deeply clarifying when you date with intention. Whether you’re newly single, exhausted by the apps, or just trying to figure out what healthy love even looks like for you, I’ve been there. Let’s talk about dating without losing your mind—or your magic.

Forgiveness healing for lasting recovery

Angelo F.

Forgiveness wasn’t easy for me. I carried so much pain—toward people who had hurt me, and maybe more than anyone, toward myself. For a long time, I couldn’t let go of the guilt, the shame, and the anger I had buried deep. I thought that if I forgave, I’d be letting others off the hook… or denying the damage that had been done. But when I began my recovery journey, I realized that forgiveness wasn’t about them. It was about me. It was about setting myself free from the weight of the past so I could heal and move forward. Through forgiveness therapy, self-reflection, and deep inner work, I learned how to release old emotional burdens. I forgave my past self for coping the only way I knew how at the time. I forgave others for not showing up the way I needed. And with that, something beautiful happened: I created space for peace, joy, and self-love to take root. Forgiveness became one of the most transformational parts of my recovery. It helped me break free from the cycle of resentment, shame, and emotional pain.

Managing lifelong anxiety without self-medicating or prescription meds

Angelo F.

Since I can remember I’ve been very sensitive, energetic and full of excitement for life, especially as a child, where I can recall this transforming into crippling anxiety and panic, causing me to suffer endless panic attacks to the point that it was my reality and had no idea until age eighteen that I had panic attacks and general anxiety disorder, with agoraphobia stemming from ADHD, which I put together on my own in 2022. After many years of drinking after work to relax my nerves, then slowly weening myself off it completely in my mid-thirties, I became open to the idea of being on the spectrum of neurodivergence, which my therapist later told me she felt I was on, with my ADHD plus more traits she noticed. Having been validated and gaining more perspective on these findings, I was able to forgive myself and others for being so hard on me, or for being hard on myself all those years while feeling different. I now know that I am not defined by ADHD and I can now use this knowledge to serve me as I’ve hacked how my brain works and can achieve flow state easily now. It’s taken me many years of self-improvement, self-love, vulnerability and openness to become more whole and complete, feeling more comfortable in my own skin, which I’ve very proud of! I was able to overcome my addiction to drinking and smoking week years prior to putting it all together, so I can really be proud of myself for sticking with sobriety even while still learning why I was self-medicating and anxious all my life. Gaining that needed perspective and confidence has been the game changer and has helped me to attain years of lasting deep inner-peace and a knowing that everything will be ok no matter what! I’m happy to say I’ve harnessed and transmuted that excitement and passion for life I had a child back after a spiritual awakening in 2014, that’s been ongoing, with many challenges, but mostly wonderful new opportunities to grow and explore, which I’m more open too now, as I see life as fun game to experience and shape the way that I feel is working and I’ve learned to focus on goals, dreams and projects in alignment with who I am now!

Boundaries, balance, and belonging

Anjelika marin A.

Some days you're handling responsibilities like a pro, and other days you're crying into a burrito wondering if everyone else got the secret handbook for adulthood. (Spoiler: they didn’t.) Whether you're navigating school, work, hormones that forgot how to chill, or trying to set boundaries without sounding like a villain, I’ve been there. I’ve felt the weight of imposter syndrome whispering, “You’re not enough,” even while doing the absolute most. I’ve worked jobs where boundaries were more like suggestions and gone through life transitions that made me question everything including my ability to keep a houseplant alive. Through all of that, I learned something important: healing isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about having a safe space to be real. This a no-judgment, come-as-you-are kind of space where you can talk about the hard stuff, the awkward stuff, the “is it just me?” stuff and realize it’s definitely not just you. Let’s talk for real and probably laugh a little.

Starting over in your faith

Bernice M.

I didn’t grow up with a strong spiritual foundation, but when I hit my lowest point, I knew I needed something deeper to hold on to. After years of chasing comfort in drugs and unhealthy relationships, I reached a point where I was just tired, tired of feeling empty and repeating the same painful cycles. That’s when I started exploring my faith. I found a spiritual accountability coach who didn’t judge me, but challenged me to believe I was worth more. Through faith, I started to rebuild not just my choices, but the way I saw myself. I’ve learned that starting over spiritually doesn’t mean having it all figured out - it means being honest, open, and willing to grow. I still ask hard questions, but now I do it with hope instead of fear. If you’re beginning or rebuilding your faith journey, I’d love to walk with you through it.

Navigating personal change with professional change

Eric W.

This is personal for me—because I’ve lived it more than once. For a long stretch of my career, I chased external validation: what others thought of me, how quickly I could get promoted, how my salary stacked up. But none of that reflected what truly mattered to me. And more importantly, it wasn’t in my control. It wasn’t until my late 30s that I paused and asked myself: What are my values? What’s my North Star? That shift changed everything. Today, my focus is on enabling organizations and teams to prioritize people development above all else. That means bringing the person’s voice into every conversation—centering their growth, their story, and their potential. Even during my 12 years at a beer company, I struggled to align with the core business goal of selling more beer. But it was the side quests—the inclusion work, the relationships, the moments of mentorship—that revealed what I truly cared about: community and people. That’s the thread I’ve followed ever since.

Overcoming imposter syndrome and finally owning your place in the room

Holley B.

Even after years healing and doing the work, I found myself constantly questioning: Do I belong here? Who am I to help others? What if they find out I’m not really “together”? That inner critic — fueled by years of trauma, addiction, and being silenced — whispered that I wasn’t enough, no matter how far I’d come. I could be speaking on a stage, supporting others, or stepping into something beautiful, and still feel like I was faking it. But I learned that imposter syndrome often shows up when we’re stepping into something real and meaningful. When we’re breaking generational cycles. When we’re becoming someone our past never prepared us for. And that’s not a sign we’re failing — it’s a sign we’re growing. Today, I still get nervous. But I remind myself: I’ve earned my seat at the table. My lived experience is powerful. And I am allowed to be both healing and helping at the same time. If you’ve been struggling to believe you’re “qualified” — in life, recovery, parenting, leadership, or healing — let’s talk. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to shrink to be safe.

Overcoming traumas and learning to live again

Katrina N.

I am a 38 yr. old, INFJ, single mother of a precocious POC 3 yr. old daughter. My fiancée is a trans man, who is my 1st healthy relationship at 37 yrs old. I specialize in trauma! From being human trafficked to childhood rape, rape by my child's father and even having a BF threaten me with a revolver. You have a choice to let life continue to make a victim of you or keep living and learning. I chose the latter despite becoming disabled with a painful nerve condition at 22. It left me feeling altogether useless and unworthy of even basic respect. These feelings, paired with my conservative upbringing, allowed unscrupulous men to take advantage of me time and again. My condition slowly stole my mobility and health but I still had a mind and I used it! in 2025 I got my LASS degree. It's never too late to go back to school. To discover hobbies and passions, and to even stand up for others. I can be pessimistic, but I never stop trying. That's the key to life.

Still wondering about your birth mother

Keran M.

I was adopted and had a lovely upbringing. Also, I was told as a child that I had another mother - so as I grew up, I realized that there was a biological connection that my parents knew. I never felt deceived by that truth, but it did not stop me from wondering about my biological mom. As a young teenager, I thought of how would my biological parent handle this, certainly she could understand me more and of course, why did she choose to give me away. As I grew into an adult, my parents told me more about my birth mother, letting me know that she had asked them to not tell me about her until I had graduated. At twenty years old, my initial meeting with my biological mother was a disaster - a far cry from what I had romanticized in my head. Years later, she asked to come into my life, I was hesitant but it was my mom who raised me that encouraged me to embrace the offer. Sometimes life is not as we imagine or fantasize. Maybe you can share your story - sometimes it is nice to vent.

Late diagnosed ADHD and the neurotypical world we live in

Leslie G.

For the entirety of my years, I often felt misunderstood, unheard and either exceedingly excelled or epically failed at most "normal" or neurotypical expectations of me. Once I was diagnosed at 47 my entire world made so much more sense. I spent quite a bit of time learning about what combined ADHD actually is and realized most people have major misconceptions. I am a chronic researcher so I couldn't help it! Now that I truly understand how I "work", I've adjusted fairly minor things in my life and can now thrive in ways I never thought possible. I also have CPTSD which adds a layer of extra challenge to daily life, but if I can do this, I KNOW you can! Let's chat, new friend. I am here for you.

Surviving narcissistic abuse as a late diagnosed autistic woman

Louise F.

For most of my life, I didn’t know I was autistic. Growing up in the '80s and '90s, I was constantly told I was “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too much,” but no one ever explained why I felt so different. I became obsessed with understanding why people didn’t like me and spent years trying to fit into relationships that didn’t fit me. My mother was a narcissist, and without realizing it, I normalized emotional abuse early on. That made me a prime target for narcissistic partners. When I met my ex-husband, he seemed perfect, he mirrored everything I wanted. But after we married, he changed completely. He became emotionally abusive, dismissive, and cruel. As a neurodivergent woman, I internalized the blame. I was constantly masking, people-pleasing, and second-guessing myself. When he broke into my home and strangled me during our separation, I finally saw the truth: it wasn’t me. Since then, I’ve been reclaiming my voice and learning how to live unmasked. I now understand how my undiagnosed autism played a role in how deeply I was impacted—and how long I stayed. If you’re also neurodivergent and trying to make sense of a toxic relationship, I’d love to talk. You are not broken. You were just never given the right tools or support, and you can get there.

Quieting self-doubt and imposter syndrome, personally and professionally

Mike C.

I know what it’s like to second-guess everything and feel like an imposter in rooms where everyone else seems more confident, more capable, more 'put together.' I’ve battled those thoughts in friendships, work, creative projects, and more. No matter how much I accomplished, that little voice telling me I wasn’t enough kept creeping in. Over time, I’ve learned that imposter syndrome isn’t a sign that you aren’t capable—it’s often a reflection of deep self-awareness, high standards, and past experiences that made you doubt your worth. Working through it isn’t about silencing those thoughts completely; it’s about recognizing them, questioning them, and learning how to move forward anyway. Through peer support, I’ve helped others navigate these feelings—validating their fears while uncovering strategies to build confidence in who they are. You don’t have to prove your worth to anyone. You just have to see it for yourself.

Living your fullest life with breast cancer and beyond

Nikki M.

It hit my like a ton of bricks. When my doctor said the words "you have breast cancer", it was like someone hit the mute button. I heard nothing after. As a healthy woman, under 40, with no family history of breast cancer I never imagined this would be my reality. I was diagnosed just before Christmas 2023. The next few months were a whirlwind of navigating doctors, scans, surgeries, health insurance, but the heaviest to hold was other people's emotions. As a recovering people pleaser and perfectionist, I would lay awake at night thinking about the "right way to do this" instead of the best way for me. This was all while I was navigating being a new business owner, having just launched my consulting practice exactly one year before. Luckily, I had the support of my partner, my family, my close friends and a growing community of extended friends who were quick to send a meal, a loving card, and messages checking in. I am now cancer-free and ready to be a part of your support community.

Building confidence when you feel like an imposter

Sami C.

For much of my life, I struggled with imposter syndrome—feeling like I didn’t truly belong in spaces where I was achieving success. Despite my experience, accomplishments, and talents, I would often second-guess myself, thinking I wasn’t “enough” or that I was somehow faking my way through life. It wasn’t until I took a deeper look at my own fears and doubts that I realized how much of it was rooted in a deep sense of perfectionism and the unrealistic pressure I’d placed on myself to always be “the best.” Whether in the professional world, in relationships, or in my personal journey, I often found myself wondering if I was capable of truly owning my worth. Through years of self-reflection, counseling, and embracing the imperfection of growth, I’ve learned to identify the triggers of imposter syndrome and use them as stepping stones toward building authentic self-confidence. It wasn’t an overnight shift, but through acknowledging my doubts and learning to quiet them, I slowly started to embrace my true self without needing to be perfect. If you’ve ever felt like you were “faking it” or that you don’t deserve the success and opportunities in front of you, I’m here to help you break free from those self-limiting thoughts and walk alongside you in embracing the truth of who you really are.

Using eco-therapy to reconnect with your true self

Tim G.

I grew up nestled between a National Wildlife Refuge and a National Park, where my earliest teachers were rivers, native plants, and the cycles of land and sea. Over the years, I’ve worked on organic farms, in a fishery, as a nature guide, and in youth education—each experience deepening my belief that nature doesn’t just teach us, it heals us. That path led me to become an ecopsychologist over 20 years ago, and later a neuroeconomist. I’ve always been fascinated by how natural systems shape our brains, our behavior, and our capacity to imagine better futures. For me, heliotropic idealism—orienting toward what brings light—has been a powerful tool for navigating pain, while phosphorescent mindfulness helps me stay connected to wonder when dreaming feels hard. I’ve learned that nature speaks through more than just sights and sounds; it speaks through our senses, instincts, and longings. I don’t have all the answers, but I know how to ask the right questions and how to listen with all of myself. I’d love to hold space for others who want to reconnect with the parts of themselves they may have forgotten—and remember their own “wordless voice of nature.”

Schizoæffection: overcoming paranoid hypervigilance and bipolar mood swings in togetherness

Tim G.

Born schizophrenic and bipolar in 1985, as a child I guided ghosts through unfinished business and peacefully mediated extraterrestrial disputes for interstellar healing. Why was I born this way? Only God knows for sure but I've learned to love with it! 🫶🏼 Schizoæffection is the process of melding broken worlds and renewing hope in the Eternal, connecting disparate ideas for better futures (also known as Schizoaffective Disorder;) 😻 I overcome Schizoaffective Disorder through deep listening, intentional peer support, Advanced Care Planning and eco-therapy. 🙏🏼 Let's turn madness into magic 🪄✨

Fearing the worst before my bipolar 2 diagnosis gave me hope

Tova C.

I remember standing outside the mental health assessment center, almost unable to move. My heart was pounding, and I was terrified, not just of being seen, but of what they might see. What if they told me something was really wrong with me? Something permanent? Something unfixable? For so long, I had lived in confusion, misdiagnosed and barely managing anxiety, depression, and a constant feeling that something deeper was going on. I had started to believe maybe I was just broken. But inside that building, for the first time, someone asked the right questions. And instead of judgment, I felt understanding. I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder in my mid-40s—and to my surprise, it didn’t feel like the end of something. It felt like a lifeline. I finally had a name for what I was experiencing, and more importantly, a path forward. Starting a mood stabilizer changed everything; the noise in my brain quieted, and I could finally think clearly. That moment of diagnosis was what I needed to find wellness, not the end of hope. Through peer support groups, I've learned how it feels to be supported and also hold space for others who are standing in that same place of fear and uncertainty. If you're there now, I’d love to help you walk through it.

Overcoming relationship crossroads and rebuilding after tough times

Vincent A.

I’ve been married for 43 years, and during that time, my relationship has seen some very challenging moments. We’ve dealt with everything from infidelity to wondering if we were meant to be together anymore. There was a period where we were both at a crossroads, uncertain of where to go next. For me, the breakthrough came when I realized that relationships aren’t always smooth sailing; they require hard work, honesty, and a willingness to look within. I can’t say it was easy, but we chose to rebuild—not by forgetting the past, but by accepting it and using it as a foundation for growth. I know that relationships aren’t one-size-fits-all, and I can help you figure out what’s working and what needs to change. If you’re questioning your relationship or going through a tough patch, I’d be honored to help you find clarity and create a path forward.
