How did you initially recognize the need to confront your childhood trauma and ancestral lineage in your journey?

I was so stubborn. After I was hospitalized twice for life threatening conditions related to my womb, I heard the call from my ancestors that it was time to do the work I was meant to do. To break the generational cycles of shame, guilt, disease, and trauma.

What were some of the most impactful methods or practices you used for healing and self-acceptance?

Journaling gave me access to information that I kept suppressed within my mind. Once those insights started coming through, I began to see the layers of healing I needed to process, beginning with my physical body. So I used breathwork and EFT tapping to move energy. I changed my nutrition to align with a plant-based lifestyle. And finally created subliminals to replace the limiting beliefs that were hindering me from activating my highest potential.

How did integrating your Ego and Higher Self influence your personal and professional life?

Once I no longer was at war with my Ego and I fully acknowledged the presence of my Higher Self, I realized that both were necessary for my experience as a being on Earth. The integration allowed me to view every soul as beings also going through their own process of healing and awakening. In both my professional and personal life, I was able to allow the Ego to serve me through self-preservation by protecting and enforcing my boundaries while my Higher Self guided me with creative insights to harness the opportunities that were being presented to me for my growth and expansion.

What role did support from others play in your journey of self-discovery and healing?

When we first awaken, most of us end up feeling lonely. We are now privy to a reality that most do not see. While the period of solitude is necessary for the initial stages of growth (the caterpillar goes into the cocoon alone), support always follows. For me, that looked like mentors who helped me see my blind spots, compassionate friends who gave me the unconditional love to make mistakes and not feel ashamed, and a community of women who were also doing the intentional work of healing generational cycles. Knowing I wasn’t in it alone for the long haul gave me courage and increased my resilience to continue my commitment to my ancestors.

How do you maintain your sense of harmony and empowerment in your daily life?

Maintaining balance and harmony as a Libra Sun and daughter of Oshun is a whole vibe. For me it’s all about rituals. I have a morning altar practice where I venerate and honor my ancestors asking for their wisdom and guidance in return. At the end of the day, I go back to the altar, do a cleansing and reclamation prayer that involves me releasing all that no longer serves me from that day and call all of the power I may have given away consciously or unconsciously back to me. Being consistent with these rituals for the last 5 years has helped me stay centered despite the daily challenges of life.

What are some practical steps you recommend for women looking to confront and heal their own core wounds?

Call in your spirit team. Ask for their help and guidance. Their role is to help you navigate life and give you the tools you need to thrive, not just survive. Keep an open heart, once welcomed in, they will bring people, places, and things to help you see what it is you need to heal.
Start journaling. Sometimes, we are not able to express our emotions when we have suppressed them for years. Journals are a wonderful tool to alchemize the energy that is tied to thoughts and inner stories. The best part? Journals don’t judge, criticize, chastise, nor shames, it simply listens compassionately, and gives you the space to let it all out on paper. It becomes a deeply intimate relationship.
Most of us experience our core wounding in our childhood. So I recommend spending time with your inner child, and seeing what they have to say. This can be done either through intentional solitude or even plant medicine ceremonies. You have to get to know them. What are they scared of? What do they dislike the most? Why do they feel unsafe? Reparenting yourself with love and compassion will bring forth the forgiveness needed to heal at the core.

How do you approach the process of self-forgiveness and transformation?

With lots of compassion. And I do not simply mean just to be kind to yourself, I mean to unconditionally love yourself for all of your flaws, your perceived mistakes, and the parts of you you are ashamed of. Remember that healing happens in layers, it takes time. So being patient with the process is just as crucial as the process itself. As each layer expresses itself, be gentle with yourself as you navigate it. What you stored in pain, will be released in pain. Transformation comes when we refuse to give up on forgiveness.

Can you describe a moment of breakthrough or insight that significantly impacted your journey?

After having several dark nights of the soul and re-integration periods, I was still feeling an underlayer of inner conflict about my purpose. I knew I had a gift to share with the world but I was impatient as to how or when this would manifest. During a plant medicine ceremony, I realized, in an instant, that what was truly missing was my unconditional trust in the process that was unfolding before me. I had already made the decision to experience the highest potential for my life and in that declaration, I set forth in motion the consequences of that decision. Yet I wasn’t fully trusting. I still had the belief that there was something that could hinder it and therefore was experiencing the realities of confusion, resistance, and sustained discomfort. Once I made the decision to fully trust, there was no going back. What was said, was done. Period. Now, without a shadow of a doubt, I live every moment knowing that the highest potential for my life is what I am experiencing unconditionally.

How do you balance guiding others with continuing your own personal growth?

This has been a learning process for me. I was conditioned to give, give, give and keep my cup empty. Eventually, I ended up burning out and becoming unmotivated to keep showing up authentic and consistent. So part of the process was learning how to create rituals that honored my body, my mind, and my spirit before giving to others. I give myself permission to receive love and self care through spiritual and mental hygiene, filling my cup and keeping it full. After I give my energy to others, I intentionally take a moment to recenter myself through grounding practices, like walking barefoot on the grass, doing some breathwork, soaking in salt water, and drinking herbal teas. Only by doing this can I express myself in my highest expression in service to others.

What advice would you give to someone who feels overwhelmed by the process of rewriting their story?

From my experience, do not focus on all the details, the how, the when, the what of the process. From the ground up, it looks like an overwhelming labyrinth that is unfathomable to the human mind how you will ever get to the other side. Simply focus on your first step. Connect with your physical body. Learn to trust your body. Learn how to nurture it, how to listen to it. Because in that process, you will become aware of the intelligence it holds to guide you into healing and rewriting your story. Breathwork, physical exercise, and nutrition. This is the first layer of healing, when you heal your root, and feel safe and secure in your body, then you will feel safe to work through anything.
