I’ve held back, dimmed my light, and suppressed the authentic calling of my truth in the name of fear. Fear of rejection, fear of judgment, fear of ruffling feathers, fear of being “too much” and “not enough”, and believing I needed to behave a certain way to live an “appropriate” and “successful” life. Yet, in following the path of what others wanted me to do, in people pleasing to be liked, and in silencing the voice of my soul, I only found myself down in the trenches of rock bottom and royal dissatisfaction. Drowning in despair, shackled to my own self-limiting beliefs, caged by conformity, and desperate for relief from the inauthentic reality I found myself in. I was sick of living a lie, playing roles that brought aches to my bones, and ignoring my truth that was pleading for my attention.

For many years, I lived inside mental constructs that negatively impacted my life, my relationships, my sense of self, my inherent freedom, and my ability to see myself in my intrinsic creative power. After countless years of suffering, of betraying my inner guidance, of succumbing to the distorted projections of others, I devoted myself to the path of self-discovery, personal development, and creative expression. Writing my way into deep clarity and communion with my inner wisdom. Alchemizing my emotions into art. Unlocking authentic awareness and volition through self-inquiry questions. Accessing deep connection and profound intimacy with others I never knew possible. It’s incredible to see how enriching and rewarding this cultivation of my capacity to be with myself, my reflections, my vulnerability, and my full-spectrum emotions has been and lended to how I stand and serve in the world today.

I felt alienated, isolated, and terrified to be my true self for majority of my life, and now am living my dream, fully free in my expression, my Dharma, feeling deeper connection with myself and everyone around me than I ever knew possible, and completely healed my fears of rejection and judgment from my family and the world at large. Liberating my authentic expression has resulted in my walk of deep security of self and freedom to be myself in the world.

Along this journey of authenticity alignment, I let my courage run rampant and took the biggest leaps of my life all in the same year - moved to my dream island, left my safe & secure, yet inexpressibly grueling corporate job, left an unfulfilling relationship, started my own business, began serving in ways that aligned with my dharma, and said yes to my dreams. For my ability to take risks that felt alive and true in my heart has directly correlated to my experience of inner and outer freedom.

Living in radical integrity, freedom and alignment with my ever-evolving truth, I guide others into self-reflection to discover their most authentic self, reclaim their fullest expression and connect to their innate wisdom. Where we liberate repressed parts of ourselves through love and belonging. Our societal constructs and expectations sets many of us up for an inauthentic and small life, and I pray my story can be a living example and beacon for souls out there longing for drastic change and to become fully expressed in their lives. Ultimately leading to more love and safety in the common heart of humanity.
