Hello

My Story - From Survival to Self

I never set out to be a life coach. I just wanted to survive.

For as long as I can remember, trauma shaped how I moved through the world. I lost my dad at a young age. I experienced abuse. By the time I was 9, I had suicidal thoughts. At 10, I survived my first suicidal attempt.

That kind of pain doesn't just disappear. It buries itself in your bones, in the way you breathe, love, work, connect. I spent most of my life trying to hold it all together; playing the role others needed from me, masking the chaos in my mind, smiling while silently breaking.

Journaling became my lifeline. I started writing at 10 years old, pouring my truth into pages I never intended to share. Through years of therapy, heartbreak, abandonment, poverty, burnout, and breakdowns - my journal was the one place I could be real.

And still, I kept surviving.

I left home at 17. Navigated an early marriage. Lived through instability, loss, and the ache of never quite belonging..not in my family, not in my friendships, not even in my own skin. I excelled at work, leading large teams and winning awards for coaching and leadership. But inside, I felt like a fraud. I doubted everything: my worth, my instincts, my sanity. I thought I was broken beyond repair.

By the time I turned 30, I hit a wall. My nervous system collapsed. I lived in a constant state of freeze, disconnected from my body, waiting to die - not dramatically, just passively, like I'd finally run out of fight. Until one night, everything shifted. Not in some magical "aha" moment, but in a quiet surrender. I was done pretending. Done performing. Done carrying everyone else's weight.

That's when the healing finally began.

​

It wasn't instant. It was layered, messy, nonlinear, but it was real. Everything I had studied and survived finally clicked. I started putting the pieces of myself back together, not to become someone new, but to finally remember who I was beneath all the coping.

That's where Evolve & Embody was born, in the wreckage of burnout and the slow, steady return to self.

Why I Created This Space

I didn't became a coach to fix people. I became one because I know what it feels like to be lost, unseen, and stuck in survival mode. And I know the way out, not because I read it in a book, but because I've lived it.

I created Evolve & Embody to give people the kind of support I wish I had: honest, personalized, filter free guidance rooted in truth, not toxic positivity. I don't care about performance metrics or cookie cutter strategies. I care about helping you live in the life that actually feels like yours.

What You'll Find Here

This blog is my open journal. It's where I share the real stories behind the curated life: the breakdowns, the breakthroughs, and all the messy in-betweens.

You'll find:

• Raw entries from my personal journals

• Life lessons woven through lived experience

• Explanations of the "why" behind our patterns and pain

• Reflections to help you find your own healing and truth

My goal is simple: to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and never alone.

There's no pretending here. No perfection. Just the real stuff that heals.

​

I don't have all the answers. But I know how to walk through the dark and come out softer, wiser, and more whole. If you're on that path too, you're in the right place.
