About Me

Who am I? If I were to wear society’s labels, I’d be the “high-functioning girl boss”—an overachiever, a perfectionist. For years, I kept up the act. But in 2019, the mask started to slip. I could no longer perform, and everything I’d built began to crumble. I had brain mapping done and learned that I was living with PTSD. The diagnosis made sense. For years, I had struggled with depression, anxiety, body dysmorphia, and addiction. I had been self-medicating to survive. The truth was—I didn’t want to live anymore. I felt purposeless, unanchored, and stuck. I dabbled in self-help, tried to eat healthy, and meditated when I was in crisis. I went to therapy—but I wasn’t fully honest. I wasn’t getting better because I wasn’t all in. I was stuck in a victim state of mind. Everything changed when I decided to take care of myself 100%. That’s when I experienced post-traumatic growth. Meditation became my anchor. It’s been scientifically proven to rewire the brain, and in my case—it did. Twice a day, for six weeks, I committed. My intrusive thoughts became easier to observe. I learned to pause before self-destruction. The healing began. But healing isn’t linear—it’s messy. It starts with identifying the problem, then taming it. Through stillness, I discovered my intuition—and I learned to trust it. (Game changer.) I also realized that mindset matters. I had spent most of my life preparing for worst-case scenarios. My trauma had wired me to stay on high alert, always angry, fearful, or overwhelmed. I began seeking outside help to process both my past and present triggers. It cracked open my once stone-cold heart—and made space for love, tolerance, and grace. Replacing shame with gratitude gave me the ability to pause before reacting. I also knew I needed to care for my physical health. I had been sick from stress, constantly bouncing between extremes—binging, restricting, overexercising, or collapsing into bed. So I got a personal trainer. I built accountability. I stopped outsourcing my worth to how I looked or performed. Now, I’ve ritualized my mornings and evenings to include meditation, movement, reflection, and skill-building. I’m not just surviving—I’m creating a life beyond my wildest dreams.
