My Story — And Why I Created The Awakening Circle 🦋
Sometimes I look at my life today — two daughters, a new country, a whole identity I built from scratch — and I’m still surprised at the woman I became.
Most people see me now as a Women’s Empowerment Mentor.
But the truth is… I didn’t arrive here easily.
I built this version of me after breaking so many cycles that were never mine to carry.
I grew up with the “good girl” conditioning — always giving, never receiving, always being strong, never complaining.
I carried adult emotions as a child.
I learned to be selfless to the point of forgetting myself.
I became a dentist because I thought fulfilling my family’s expectations would buy me love and safety… but it only pulled me further from who I truly was.
And then motherhood happened.
My identity disappeared.
My needs disappeared.
My voice disappeared.
In 2022, I flew to Canada alone — leaving behind my toddler and my husband — carrying my dream in my heart and something in me whispered:
“There has to be more for you.”
I walked into this new country with two suitcases, a student visa, and a fire in my heart that refused to go out.
I worked jobs that supported me yet drained me at the end of the day.
I lived alone in a tiny basement.
I cried alone holding my daughter’s worn clothes.
But I also healed alone.
I rebuilt myself piece by piece.
I found my courage again.
I found my voice again.
And a few months ago… I woke up with a clarity I can’t explain. I switched careers from Dentistry to a Women’s Empowerment Mentor after investing over 15,000$ in Canadian Dental Licensing exams and preparation. No one really understood why I would walk away from such a decade long rewarding and prestigious career.
Finally, I listened to my soul’s calling:
I am here to help women rise.
I am here to help women find their power, their voice, their self-trust, their freedom.
I am here to hold spaces that I never had growing up.
That is why I created the Awakening Circle.
A space where women walk in with a heavy heart… and walk out lighter, clearer, softer, and more connected to themselves.
A space where you don’t have to be strong all the time.
A space where you get to be held, supported, and seen.
If you’re reading this and something within you is whispering “this is for me”…
Just know — you’re not alone anymore.
This community is for you.
I’m truly grateful that you’re here.
