From Voiceless to Empowered

Although my Bio may be interesting, what you really need to know about me is that I grew up in a physically and emotionally abusive environment. I was terried of my father, never knowing if his uncontrollable anger and rage would accidentally lead to my death or the death of my sisters or mother. I can remember when, even at the young age of 6 or 7, I quietly walked around the dinner table taking o all the knives and hiding them in a drawer. I did this every time I sensed my father was about to explode…just to make sure he wouldn’t grab one and throw it without thinking. As a teenager and young adult I had no self condence, no self esteem and no voice. I felt unhappy, alone and unlovable. If someone would have told me at that time that I would one day forgive my father and develop a loving relationship with him AND I would end up living a life that I absolutely love while being blessed to share my life with the love of my life, I would have thought they were crazy. People often tell me how lucky I am to be living the life I’m living today. But, I didn’t get to where I am because of luck. I am where I am because of the choices and decisions I made throughout my life…many of which were extremely dicult ones. As I share a small part of my life journey with you, my hope is that you’ll walk away feeling inspired to make more empowering choices that can support you in recreating your life and relationships to match your heart’s desires.

Life-Changing Experiences

One of the rst experiences that changed the trajectory of my life happened when I was 18 years old. I left home to go to college believing that a changed environment would change my life

Little did I understand at that time that I was carrying all my emotional baggage with me and my fear of rejection was holding me back. My rst year of college was depressing. Even though I wasn’t in daily fear of being abused, I still had no friends. I realized after this rst year that unless I was willing to step out of my comfort zone, I was destined to live a very lonely and sad life.

I made a conscious decision when I started my second year to put my fears aside and take the initiative in making friends. This might not seem like a big deal to you but for me, it was a huge step that put me on my path of self empowerment. What I learned through that experience is that stepping out of our comfort zone opens up unlimited possibilites for us. I also learned that if we want our lives to change, we need to take

responsibility for changing it and not rely on others or wait for external circumstances to change. I also decided to get some counseling to begin unravelling and healing from my painful past. Working on myself has been an ongoing process ever since. My commitment to doing my “inner work” including forgiving my father, has made a signicant and positive impact in my life and led me to the work I’m doing today. Another profound turning point in my life was in my early twenties when I ended my engagement, even though I already paid a deposit on my wedding dress, the reception hall was booked and I was still deeply in love with my Fancé.

You might be wondering why in the world I would do such a thing, especially when I was in love. Well, the truth is, I intuitively felt that my ancé wasn’t ready for marriage. My inner guidance kept telling me that getting married to this man would not result in the marital bliss I dreamed about.

The messages I received from my guides were conrmed when after telling my ancé about my decision, he admitted he wasn’t ready to get married and wished he could put me away for a while and come back to get me when he was ready. Many years later, I was faced with another dicult decision…to end my 10 year marriage. Even though we still loved one another, we were moving in dierent directions and neither one of us was happy. Once again, I was intuitively guided to end this relationship and because I did so with love in my heart, it was a very amicable divorce. If I didn’t follow my inner guidance throughout the years and if I didn’t work on healing from my past and forgiving my father for all the pain he caused me and my family, I never would have attracted the love of my life, Randie. Randie and I left our home country of Canada and moved to Colombia, South America where we live in our dream home with a magnicent view of the Andes Mountains. We’ve been together since 2001 and our relationship is beyond what either of us ever thought was possible. How You Can Transform Your Life The current quality of your life and your relationships are not just based on your past experiences but on all the choices you’ve made up until this point, both conscious and unconscious.

If you’re not in love with yourself and your life and if you’re struggling with some of your relationships or haven’t attracted your dream partner into your life (if this is something you want), then I invite you to… work on healing your past wounds get really clear about what you want pay close attention to your inner guidance system make a conscious choice to follow your guidance one step at a time and don’t let fear stop you be loving and compassionate with yourself along the way

You are a magnicent being with the inner power and wisdom to create a life and relationships you desire and deserve!
