The Sacred Expressive Life Force™
My journey has taken me down paths I could never have anticipated, marked by deep sorrow, great achievements, and unexpected detours.
At 21, I fulfilled a childhood dream of serving as a police officer. Later, I owned a boutique exclusively for full-sized women and even hosted a radio show. But after a series of painful choices and personal setbacks, my world crumbled, feeding a lifelong narrative of shame and inferiority.
To redeem myself, I threw everything into my professional life. As a corporate trainer, speaker, and executive coach, I traveled the U.S. and beyond. Yet, all the accomplishments couldn’t quiet the relentless voice telling me I wasn’t enough. I found myself caught in an exhausting cycle, always trying to prove I was worthy of love, success, and a fulfilling life while simultaneously engaging in self-sabotage and self-betrayal.
​​
My Inner Quest
Driven to understand why I was sabotaging my own happiness, I pursued studies in Social Psychology, became an NLP-certified coach, and earned a Doctorate in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. But even these achievements couldn’t silence the inner critic and the constant tug-of-war within me.
​
Then, in 2001, after another self-sabotaging disaster, Divine ONENESS revealed that my constant inner tug-of-war was my own inability to give myself permission to live outside the limits of my old, negative narrative. This powerful realization began my journey of learning to Give My Sacred Expressive Life Force™ (SELF) Permission to reveal my life's truth—to be seen, heard, and felt as intended.
​
The years since have taught me how to surrender to my SELF and reassert the truth within. Now, I’m dedicated to helping others do the same—by holding space for their sacred journey toward giving their Sacred Expressive Life Force™ permission to reveal their life’s truth.​​​
My Journey, My Way.
My Core Values and Life Mission
I embrace the journey of life with a strong conviction and spirit of freedom; I am committed to the path of self-reconciliation and self-realization, where every step taken is a lesson learned. I value the power of acknowledging and appreciating my mistakes, not as failures... but as precious jewelry of wisdom, perseverance, and depth of character. In this journey, I cherish the liberty to explore, discover, and express my true self, finding joy and fulfillment in the continuous unfolding of my Sacred Expressive Life Force™.
I Am the Sacred Expressive Life Force™ of the Ancestors
In this life, “I must go beyond the dark world of sensory information to the clear brilliance of the sunlight of the outside world. Once done, it becomes my duty to go back to the cave in order to illuminate the minds of those imprisoned in the ‘darkness’ of sensory knowledge.” ~Plato; the Allegory of the Cave
