Growing up as the eldest among seven siblings in Central California, I discovered early on that my self-worth was rooted in being a caregiver and providing emotional support. As a child of divorce, I carried a deep fear of having my own relationships crumble. To avoid feeling unloved and disconnected, I made everyone else's needs my priority. I constantly feared judgment, loneliness, and invisibility. Expressing my true feelings or setting boundaries felt selfish, as my longing for connection overshadowed my own well-being. I wore a facade of having it all together, reluctant to burden others with my emotions. I was simultaneously stoic and hypersensitive.

In essence, I never truly knew how to acknowledge and address my own needs, let alone express them. After enduring countless heartbreaks, engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors, battling with low self-esteem, and eventually experiencing my own painful divorce, I realized it was time to wake up. I am incredibly grateful that I finally took that step, but little did I know that it was only the beginning of a profound journey back to myself.

Believe me when I say that I never imagined feeling as confident, balanced, and certain as I do now. So, if you sense a greater potential within you, don't limit yourself. If I could transform my life, I firmly believe that YOU CAN TOO.
