“I’ve Walked Through the Fire And Chosen Creativity”

For years, I wasn’t sure if I had anything worth saying. I’d sit with a blank page, wanting to write but caught in perfectionism.
Would anyone care? Was I too messy? Too intense?

But the truth is: I’ve lived more life than most people talk about. And I’ve transmuted that pain into art, insight, and service.

I’ve walked through:

• Emotional and verbal abuse from an employer

• PTSD from working abroad for a narcissist

• Chronic nervous system overwhelm

• Grief so deep it changed my DNA

• My brother’s suicide

• My gran’s final months in my care

• My dad’s 9-year collapse into ME/depression

• My mum’s psychotic breakdowns

• Countless heartbreaks

• People supressing my light and fire

And I’m still here.

More than that: I’m alive and free!

And because of everything I’ve walked through, I now:

• Paint abstract art that carries codes

• Sew couture clothing that channels beauty

• Wild camp and river dip

• Write blogs that activate the soul

• Guide others into emotional, mental and physical liberation

• Teach people to feel again

• Reconnect them with their soul, their knowing, their unique gifts, their fire, their power

I may have spent years questioning whether I had something to say. But not anymore.

I’m not here to be perfect. I’m here to be powerful. And if my story helps you see your own strength more clearly, it was worth it.

Let this be your reminder: You don’t have to be fully healed to start sharing. You just have to be honest. And ready.
