Let’s be real: religious trauma isn’t something you “just get over.”

It seeps into how you parent, love, work, and dream. It teaches you to question your worth and silence your intuition.

But here’s what I believe with my whole damn heart:
✨ Healing is possible.
✨ Reclamation is your birthright.
✨ You deserve to feel safe in your own body, mind, and spirit.

If you’re tired of surviving, let’s explore what it looks like to truly live.

❤️‍🔥 DM me “RECLAIM” to start a conversation.

Ready to increase your awareness and growth? You'll want to start with these steps first.

I spoke recently on here about awareness, and how important this is as a first part of my framework.

I utilize a unique coaching framework that takes you from feeling disconnected to yourself to living from your heart in an authentic AF way.

The Awareness to Action Method™️ coaching framework includes:

AWARENESS - Awareness of what is NOT working for you or is not aligned for you, noticing the dissonance

ACCEPTANCE- Acceptance of where you've been, where you ARE, the path you took, and the journey OTHERS are on that you aren't aligned with

AUTHENTICITY - stepping into who you truly are, even if that means creating boundaries that others do NOT like because they're used to the old you they could control

ANCESTRAL HEALING - breaking generational patterns and reparenting ourselves while raising our kids

ACTION - forming your own community, holding boundaries, reclaiming your spirituality (and so many other things)

This, of course, is a continual healing journey, as we often heal and reach growth in one area and something deeper may be revealed (or connected to the initial thing we healed).

The methodology helps take you from feeling stuck and lost and unsure how to move forward to feeling confident and authentic AF!

If you'd like to chat further about how I utilize this inside the Awareness to Action Method™️ Coaching Program, let's chat! Today is the final day to apply and chat with me about joining us!

When it comes to becoming aware of what's keeping you stuck, I see my clients struggle with this a lot in the beginning. ⁣

But let me show you how we worked through this to get unstuck and create a life of freedom!⁣

I mentioned the other day in one of my posts that AWARENESS is the first step, but there are a couple of things that are required when it comes to this.⁣

1️⃣ Being real with yourself⁣

It's important that when you are looking at what from your past might be holding you back, you're not sugarcoating it to yourself. This doesn't do you any favours at all, and in fact may contribute to staying stuck even longer.⁣

This also means that you're being REAL with how you're showing up in the world, noticing it and being aware of why and how.⁣

Ask yourself some curious questions and start digging into your behaviours, energy and actions in relation to where you're at and where you want to go.⁣

2️⃣ Being willing to change⁣

Now that you've brought some awareness and curious questions into the mix, you can start to examine where in your life you need to bring change to.⁣

There's a common thing that I've heard before and that is "people don't change". ⁣

While I believe it is 100% true that MOST people aren't WILLING to change, the truth is - people CAN and DO change. If I didn't believe that, there would be no growth mindset in my world and that's just not true.⁣

I've SEEN change first hand, not just in myself but in people close to me and it's a BEAUTIFUL thing when you're able to be open to change and take the steps towards that (the action part of my framework).⁣

If you don't know where to start, just make yourself WILLING to find AND use the resources you come across or at your fingertips. Sometimes, there are resources around us that we just may not be aware of, so open your mind up to see what you have available.⁣

And, of course, I have spots open for my 6-month Awareness to Action Method™️ program if you're looking for support in this area and ready to take the actions to utilize this resource! ⁣

Send me a message so we can chat and see if we're a good fit for each other, I can't wait to speak with you 💙

Have you ever tried to feel connected to yourself, and realized it wasn't as easy as you thought?⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
This happened to me too & it took me awhile to understand why that was & what was going on.⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
Growing up, my relationship with God was extremely distant & disconnected.⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
The God I was exposed to was angry, spiteful, judgmental & vindictive.⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
He was a shadowy entity that I should try not to p**s off too much or I'd lose any chance I had of eternity.⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
I worried as a kid being mean to a sibling, or ate a cookie when I wasn't allowed, that God was watching & would punish me.⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
This led to a huge disconnect between me & my higher power.⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
Imagine that they're your human parent and this is how you see them.... you'd probably grow up with a super distorted view of parental love, acceptance or support.⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
Here they were, literally at my back for every moment while I struggled feeling alone. But because of my PERCEPTION, I could NOT connect.⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
I knew something was missing, I knew I believed in more than just myself, but I didn't know what that even looked like.⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
I stumbled through a TON of my life this way, because I wasn't connected to ANYTHING and this included ME.⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
I didn't know what my values were, who I was, why I was here, what I wanted in life and this left me extremely empty, disconnected and STUCK⁠⁠...⁣
⁣..even as I grew as a person⁣
⁣..even as I grew as a mom⁣

I wasn't creating this life of freedom I'd dreamed of by leaving the church because freedom comes from WITHIN.⁣

And my WITHIN was disconnected.⁣

When I began to have my spiritual awakening 5+ years ago, it was like something woke up inside me that had been dormant.⁣

This began a process where I began to discover me again, my values, authenticity, uniqueness, worth and, eventually, my purpose!⁣

It started with getting connected to a divine I really hadn't known beforewhich led to so much more.⁣

It really began with AWARENESS (the first piece of my framework).⁣

How can you connect to yourself, your spirituality and your values today?

I'm actually strong as f**k and even though I've been on this journey AWHILE, I still doubt myself sometimes.⁣⁠⁠⁣⁠⁠⁣5+ y...
09/24/2024

I'm actually strong as f**k and even though I've been on this journey AWHILE, I still doubt myself sometimes.⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
5+ years ago, I walked away, shattered, from a relationship that no longer served me, after 7 years.
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
It wasn't the first time I did this. ⁠⁠⁣(I'm still married from my first relationship that ended about 13 years ago)⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
Lately we have really been IN it with some financial/household stuff that has been TESTING me.⁣ Some days, it can feel like everything comes crashing down and I don't feel strong, capable or powerful.⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
I'm not wonder woman, superwoman, or the woman who "does it all" (side note - NOBODY actually does).⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
I'm not some unicorn and just fly through the bad times. ⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
⁠⁠⁣
I wouldn't be who I am today without that 7 year relationship ending in heartbreak.⁠⁠⁣, or without that failed marriage, my beautiful children, without the struggles we faced in the last 5 years and especially not unless I grew up in an extreme fundamentalist cult.⁣


Sometimes it will suddenly feel like a big NOPE. Was it that that other stuff wasn't AS hard? Or that I've just forgotten how hard that stuff was?⁣

Nope.⁣ It's because over the past 5+ years I have grown and become SO MUCH stronger than the woman that felt broken from that relationship.⁣


Today, I'm a woman who can take a hot minute, cry, vent to my bestie, and tap into the tools that support me so well.

I know that trusting the process is NECESSARY, and will lead to true healing.

I'm confident, knowledgeable & loved deeply, created a soul family and support system that holds me up on the days when I feel a little broken.⁣

You have that in YOU.⁣

The person you were a few years ago, they're not you today. And you in a few more years? You're going to have pushed through and healed SO much that you may not even recognize yourself today!⁣

If you're craving this growth, this trust, this confidence to step out of feeling stuck all the time and into what feels like FREEDOM to you - it's the last week to join Awareness to Action Method™️ Coaching Program. There are 5 spaces available and one of them could be yours! ⁣

So, I'm an outlaw....a renegade....a rebel....a black sheep.

I don't do things how people say I should or how society thinks I should - and certainly never did things the way my family or the cult thought I should!

So, this is my "re-introduction" post!

If you're new here - hey, hello! Send me a DM and get to know me

Healing trauma, even becoming aware of it...is a PROCESS.⁠


It's a journey. And it may not always look how you expect it to.⁠


A lot of people (myself included) will often overcomplicate it, so much so that you take no action because you get overwhelmed with perceived impossibilities.⁠


I see this all the time. And, I want you to know you're not alone. I've seen this in MYSELF many times along this road to healing my own trauma.⁠


Maybe you've tried to heal, or even patch up with bandaids, before, which led to this feeling of overwhelm & made you believe that you can't do it.⁠


It's too big.⁠


It's too much.⁠


YOU'RE too much (or not enough?)⁠


And, why bother, why rock the boat, when you've been doing just fine all these years anyways.⁠


Why dig it all up and cause yourself the emotional turmoil, right?⁠


But deep down, you know that's a lie. You KNOW that if you don't dig it up and heal from it, you're going to stay stuck exactly where you are.⁠


And you're so tired of it - the stuck feeling, the bored feeling, the feeling that you'll never be more than you are now just like you were always told.⁠


That your sins were too many⁠


That you were on the backsliders road⁠


That you have evil spirits in you and you can't break free of them unless you change your ways⁠


So you stop and hope for the best, cause maybe they're right (but you know they're not).⁠


I can FEEL your pain, your emotions, your turmoil, your fears — they are all things I have personally felt on my own healing journey.⁠


So many times I nearly gave up⁠


So many times I almost let the fears rule and keep me from living the life of freedom I belonged in⁠


So often that I looked back and looked forward and wondered if the healing would ever surpass the pain of the past — would I ever really, truly get to where I desired to be?⁠

⁠ Healing is a life long journey — you will grow and change in ways you never thought were possible, if you allow the journey to be what it is meant to be.⁠

The truth is, trauma is something that happened in your life — physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually - but you don't have to stay in that place and be a victim.

There IS a way out, there is a better life for you than what you've become conditioned to believe is possible (even if that conditioning was your own mind and ego).

I know this, because I have experienced it too.

I know what it feels like to be in the trauma and not realize there's a way out - and I also know what it feels like to heal from the trauma (and continue to heal).

I know that freedom, intention, choice and your dreams becoming reality is POSSIBLE for you, and it's possible for you today.

I'd love to hear from you, if this resonated - drop a comment below or send me a DM if you want to keep it private. Don't forget applications are open for my 6-month coaching program at the link in bio 🖱️

09/13/2024

Growing up in a cult, there was this constant need to "do the right thing" - of course the right thing was usually determined by a white man who was letting women know "their place", whether it be in the family or in the church (or just life in general).

Basically, this left me with little to no freedom or choice with the trajectory of my life.

And if you've been around here awhile you're probably laughing at this point, because obviously I don't ascribe to doing "what I'm told", even now.

So, when I got into the healing/spirituality/growth and development worldd, there was still an ingrained need to do the right thing (even while rebelling against all rules).

So I would find someone, follow their method, fail miserably and repeat.

Until I realized the "secret"....it wasn't that these leaders and gurus had found THE WAY to spirituality, it's just that they'd found THEIR way.

And through my journey I've learned a few things that I'm going to share with you:

1️⃣ Learning only gets you so far. Learn, learn what you need! But don't get stuck in the learning and not take action. Don't get stuck in learning and not embody what you're doing!

2️⃣ Follow your own unique path. If you continue to just jump from guru to guru, trying to emulate their exact method, you're going to stay stuck in the frustration you're feeling right now. YOUR way, YOU, are what will create the reclamation you're looking for.

3️⃣ Focus on YOUR life and YOUR family - stop worrying about what everyone else is saying or doing. It MAY be what someone says that finally feels right, OR it may be a strange combination of many different things. But if you align what you're embodying with your values....you will suddenly look back and wonder how you ever did life any other way.

When I started prioritizing these three things, everything changed for me. I was lit up, aligned to my purpose, moving forward with intentional action and people began truly noticing a difference.

I love using Hamilton song lyrics in my posts but, hey, there’s a lot of really good lines in this musical! What can I say?⁣⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁣⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Something that stood out to me when watching this is Aaron Burr. He seems like a great guy that just keeps getting tossed aside. He’s got amazing skills, education, experience...the whole 9 yards really. But...he never tells people what he believes in, what his values are and what side of anything he’s on. ⁣⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁣⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The reason people turn to Hamilton so often in the play is because he’s not afraid to use his voice, he’s not afraid to say the wrong thing or make mistakes sometimes and everyone KNOWS what he truly stands for. And they flock to that. ⁣⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁣⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And he DOES make mistakes. Some really big ones. But he’s not afraid to own them and ask for forgiveness either. ⁣⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁣⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If a younger version of you met the today version of you, could they see what your values are? What you stand for or against? What you’d live or die for? What you DO NOT agree with?⁣⁠⁠

⁠⁠
If you're ready to get grounded in what YOU believe, and not feel pushed around or pressured by others’ beliefs, then this program is THE space for you.💙✨

You'll have the guidance and support from a trained ICF coach and you will be surrounded by others on the same journey as you for 6 months so that you can stop questioning yourself and show up fully as who you know deep down you’re meant to be.

I never felt completely understood, if I'm being honest.

I always related to those black sheep memes and weirdo lingo. Because I truly felt like something was wrong with me.

NOBODY saw me, not truly, they didn't get me on a deeper level.

Not the church or the friends I had there

Certainly not the church leadership lol

Not my parents

Not my partners (for clarity, I met Graham awhile after this friend 🤣)

Not until I met her.

She was in a membership group I joined, which of all things was for Christian women HA. She was a pagan and I was certainly nowhere close to identifying as a Christian at the time, but fate is fate, you know?

Her ginger hair and love for Doctor Who are what set her apart from everyone else in the group....that's truly where our story begins. So thank you, Doctor Who, for making that connection possible. Because without it, I feel like our story just wouldn't be the same.

This was in the early part of 2018. I can still remember the first time I saw her on a group call and I loved her instantly. Like I knew she was someone who I wanted to be friends with. I blame it on the British accent 😉

We were the unlikeliest of people to become best friends....a girl still stuck in weird Christian roots and another who was fully immersed in her pagan beliefs. And yet.... our connection grew fast and strong.

It held us together through that membership

It held us together through mental illness

It held us together through tears and relationship breakdowns (and new beginnings too)

It held us together through a toxic mastermind

It held us together as friends came and went, never quite fitting in with our vibe

And yet we became who we are now - stronger, better, more powerful versions of those younger women we were then.

At the time, I didn't have the words to figure out what this was all about. But this all comes back to the Awareness to Action Method™️ - becoming aware, accepting yourself and others, living authentically as your true self, doing the cycle breaking work and taking the next steps you're being called to in your healing journey to reclaim your spirituality.

I'm not making up how powerful this work can be.

Connecting it to yourself first

Connecting to your community and your support system

It all starts and honestly comes back to AWARENESS which then leads into everything else.... so that you can be SO CLEAR on who you are now, who you are becoming and what you are not willing to sacrifice to be that person.

Awareness to Action Method™️ starts in October and there are a maximum of 6 spaces available so that we can really dig into some deep personal work inside this cohort.

If you’re like me, after being ousted by a toxic church and maybe even your actual family, you might be afraid of rejection? Let’s talk about it. 👇🏻

Rejection can sting, especially when you've faced it from a community that once defined your identity. But here’s the truth: Your worth isn’t tied to anyone’s approval but your own.

Here are some example affirmations that could help lock this belief in for you (but reword/rewrite what feels right for you in a way that helps you believe what you are affirming):

- “I am worthy of love and acceptance.”
- “My truth is valid and important.”
- “I honour my journey and my growth.”

While affirmations can be helpful, if you don’t truly believe them and haven’t shifted the beliefs around them, they won’t be as impactful as you’d desire for them to be. That’s where I can offer some support!

Ready to rebuild your confidence and learn to trust your voice again? Join us for 6 months of coaching, building your own spiritual rituals, being supported by a small community of folks on this same journey as you while being empowered in your own healing and growth.

This is THE programme for you if you want to overcome the version of you that thinks this is all you get to have and start showing up as the version of you who fully believes MORE is what you are here for!

In this program you will:

- build an amazing, supportive and inclusive community
- begin to find your OWN voice
- grow your empowered decision making without needing validation
- strengthen your intuitive connection
- experience safe space holding, and give it yourself
