Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I was different. I had this spark inside my never-not-dancing body that told me I was here to do big things + shine bright. As life would have it, I got swept into autopilot of doing what was acceptable and similar to everyone around me and wound up in a corporate 9-5 cubicle. Inside of my 7 years there, I tried to conform, fit in and live the lifestyle it encouraged. I often felt unfulfilled, low energy and moody as hell! Then one day I stared at myself in the mirror and said “who the hell are you and where did you go?”. My fiery inner child was spitting some truth in my ear and reminding me that I was meant for something else.

Say no more sister.

I immediately packed up my entire life, left everything I knew behind, and moved to Los Angeles to pursue professional dancing. I thought this was going to be my golden ticket to clarity and joy since dance was all I had ever known for so long. But boy, was I wrong! I was quickly humbled and realized the entertainment world also wasn’t for me and found myself back at square one yet again. I felt naked - stripped bare of anything I ever knew as my identity and left with a big ole question mark of who I was and what I was meant to pursue.

I gave myself two options….

Either move home and go back to what’s comfortable or put on my power pants and start exploring who I really am.

And from that day forward, the ultimate treasure hunt began.

For 18 months, I made it my daily mission to explore and re-learn about every layer of myself. Areas I never gave enough attention to, pieces that had been taken over by the opinions of others, memories of my childhood and my flow of creative energy and interest. The further I explored, the more I remembered. I kept having these moments of “Oh there you are - you’ve been here all along!”.

Through this process, I started to realize how many people were also struggling to find fulfillment and joy because they had lost touch with the truth of who they were - their most authentic self. I knew that this journey was given to me for a reason and I had just been reminded of my calling.
