When I was a kid, making art and connecting with people sparked my joy.
But I was often told I was too quiet, too sensitive, not outgoing enough, not quite smart enough, not quite pretty enough. Religion and cultural norms reinforced these narratives and I internalized these stories as truths. I became shy and ashamed of who I was. 

I pushed away my gifts of observation, my sensitivity, and my innate calm spirit.
I doubted my intution and was disconnected from my creative power.

As an adult I had a busy full life, but on the inside, I was anxious and exhausted.
I would often apologize for existing, ignore my own needs.
I would often say yes, when I wanted to say no.
At night, I would lay awake and wonder why confidence felt so elusive. 

In 2012, I became a mother. My physical body was taxed and my nervous system was maxed.
I felt overwhelmed , exhausted and defeated all of the time.
One day I heard myself say:
“I want to unzip this body and walk right out of it.”
My longing to be more of myself was undeniable but I felt trapped in my body, in motherhood, in anxiety and in self doubt.

My daughter needed me to support her growth by honoring her strong independent and creative spirit.
I needed to support my own growth by learning to love myself, learning to trust my intuition and by choosing my creativity everyday.

I felt terrified to let go of the rules of the world, but also I knew I was being limited and confined by them.
I was so stuck.

So, I asked for help - from therapists, books and eventually a life coach.  

And here is what happened:
I started making art and sharing it in public.
I found my way to conscious parenting skills.
I shifted from cynical & afraid, to joyful & brave.
I learned that who I am is enough , and that my life works best when I lean into my own joy.
I saw how perfectionism was consuming my energy.
I chose sobriety from alcohol, sugar and overeating.
I connected to my spiritual life outside of religion.
I discovered a deeply rooted confidence.

NOW I COACH MOTIVATED PEOPLE WHO ALSO WANT TO TRUST THEIR INTUITION AND FIND THE COURAGE TO FOLLOW THEIR OWN CREATIVITY.
