my journey
“losing my way, finding my soul”
how it all began
So where do I start! After a rough childhood, moving across the world and back, I became a teen-mum with 19 and like every teen in that age, I had no vision of my future and was mentally a bit unstable. Which I really didn’t know at the time. Raising my first daughter on my own with no family behind my back, I’m glad I never gave up on myself, for my daughter and the life I wanted us to have. Well, but let’s start in the year 2018. Because telling you my whole life story would be too much for here. More important is, that I want to show you guys where I started and where I am now. So you can see that you don’t have to be stuck where you are right now forever.
Ok. in 2018 I became a mum for the second time and as it should be, I was full of love and joy. But still I felt this pain inside of me that needed healing, but I had no idea where to start or go, I only knew that it had something to do with the person I loved! I didn’t even really know what problems I have and why my life is such a mess. After a chat with a friend, I made my first ever step out of my comfort zone and went to a spiritual healer. I never believed in healers or anything spiritual, because in my childhood I got pushed from one religion to the other. I was baptised I think 4 times, in 4 different religions, so as you can understand I had no trust in anything I couldn’t see or touch. But I thought “why not” I have nothing to lose. After my first session I was totally speechless, she knew things about me, she couldn’t possibly know, because I had told her nothing, so I was super excited to see her again.
I started seeing spiritual healers regularly, or let’s say when I felt I needed it. Over the past years I had more than one depending on my problem and blocks. As I changed inside, I change the healer that suited my energy. Without knowing, most of my blocks and triggers are beliefs and imprints from my childhood. But seeing healers didn’t change or do all the work for me. I also had to work on myself and change my mindset, so I started to meditate. It helped me control my thoughts, align with my true self and energy. I started to look after my body, soul and mind. Meditating is for the mind like giving the body nutritious food, which meant a calm and healthy soul also depends on what we give our bodies, we reflect from the inside out. But also the other way around, what we feed our mind and soul reflects on our body. If our body is weak or sick, it’s our soul giving us a sign that something is not right.
I started thinking about my life and future, what I want to achieve for my girls and me. Which was one of my biggest problems and beliefs. From a young age on, we get told to go to school, get good grades, find a job, have kids, build a house and that it’s the woman’s responsibility to keep the house clean, cook and watch the kids. I thought that I had to please others, make them happy and live by their perspective. But I started to listen to my inner voice and interests, as I digged deep I found my passion and purpose of life. I love to travel, feel free and independent but also help others, see them smile and organise things. So I bumped into Eventmanagment and thought it would be the job for me. You will now think how can my passion and the belief that triggered me be so close to each other, well I’ll tell you all about that another time. But now as my youngest turned 2 1/2 years old I started working at an office as Event manager at the start I thought this is it. But life had a lesson for me, and I still had so much to learn. The job didn’t turn out to be what I hoped. It started to trigger me and make me physically and mentally ill. Don’t forget live only gives us what we can endure. So I met this amazing woman she started working at the same office, she turned out to be the exact person I needed to keep going. She taught me so much about believing in myself, dreaming big and that I was allowed to show up, shine big and bright. That it’s time to stop hiding and start saying “no” to things that don’t fit my energy.
“Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved.”
Starting to look for a way out of this job, it seemed hopeless, and I was about to give up. But one evening I thought I’ll give it one more try and see there life again gave me the next opportunity to keep thriving. I took the chance, and it all changed so quick, not even a week later I started my new job with new people that treated me with respect and no need of humiliation. And all that because I stood up, for myself and how I want to be treated. I was so grateful for this opportunity and finally got to start the courses for my diploma.
This energy kicked me into a whole new level, full of gratitude and joy. I wanted to keep going, learn more about this journey to become my trueself and keep this positive energy in and around me flowing. As I was walking further on my path, spiritual things like Manifestation, Meditation, Astrology, Human Design and Numerology became parts of my daily life. I was getting better at controlling and reprogramming my thoughts. Using the power of mind for me instead of against me. I learned that my thoughts are energy, what I send out to the Universe, I get back. More and more, I started noticing that things I wished for and set my mind on in the past, turned out to happen exactly as I pictured them in my head. I used my new mindset to manifest knowingly for the first time, “my diploma” I had no idea what or how to write it, but I wanted to graduate with a good success. And “what do you think how it turned out?”, yes my diploma almost wrote it-self, the words came to me as I needed them and I graduated with a good success.
how it changed my life
So as you can see I’ve come a long way from my old income supported teen-mum-self full of grieve and darkness, to my independent, free, self-confident, shining woman full of love, trust and joy. Now life is so much brighter than, to how I used to see it. Important was understanding that life is always for and never against me. Seeing the lesson in happenings and finding a way out of the mess, instead of falling into a hole of grieve, why it was happening to me. I learned to recognise signs of the universe, and they gave me so much confidence and courage in the things I did because they made me feel protected and guided. We are guided at all times, we just have to open our hearts to see.
If anyone ever told me that I’m going to be an independent, solo mum caring for my family on my own at 30, I wouldn’t of believed a word. But believe me, it’s possible, everything you set your mind to is. Now some of you will be thinking yeah right how is changing my mind going to change anything, but that’s exactly the key, and once you get the hang of it, it’s actually easier than it seems. The main thing that holds us back is fear. Fear from the unknown, the future, stepping out of the system we were born into and always felt safe. We have to overcome our fears to achieve the big dreams that already exist in our head. “Turn fear into hope and trust”.
"Life is always for you, never against your"
Friendships and relationships started to split up without me noticing, they left my path because they were no longer suiting my energy. I first realised it as people started asking me if anything had happened between me and that person. I used to be so scared of losing friends and being alone, but then as this happened, I didn’t feel sad or lonely at all. Because I wasn’t lonely, I had myself and everyone I’m connected with through the universe, and it didn’t matter if I could see or touch them physically. A big change I noticed, I now have a lot more nerves and patience with the girls and myself. I see things a lot looser than I used to when things don’t go the way I want to or the girls are just being kids going through every development phase. Just being around my girls and myself fills me with more love, and acceptance, then constantly needing someone else around me to keep me company and talk to. I enjoy the peace and quiet to hear and feel my inner voice, see what’s coming next and what still needs healing.
I don’t worry about my future that much any more, I learned to trust life and my guts. Of course, I think about it, it’s human, and I would lie when I say I don’t think about it at all. But the worrying of “how am I going to do that” or “what do I have to do” etc. has stopped. Because everything happens at the right time. There is never a “am I not too late to start now”, you are never too late and every step towards yourself and your goals is just right at that moment.
Realising the things that excite and interest me the most, are not just pictures inside my head, they are my destiny and that’s why they excite me. Sitting here writing to everyone reading this, touching and moving one or two hearts to start their journey, is what brings me joy. Helping others through my story is what I have always dreamt of doing, so get out there and do what you’re dreaming of.
I might not be at the beginning of my journey any more like some of you, but I’m not at the end either and that’s only because I decided to start, so get up and start today don’t be afraid of the “how and what”. If you don’t feel ready, then that’s the moment to start, “START BEFORE YOU ARE READY”. I could keep on writing for ages, but I want to keep it short and simple, because life is a never ending journey. So join me, let’s travel through life together, because my journey is as on going with ups and downs just like yours.
Let go and trust, behind you is something incredible waiting for you!
