The nudge

What I didn’t realize, pre-spiritual awakening, was how I’d been unknowingly holding myself back from fully feeling true joy, passion, and peace.

What is a spiritual awakening?

It’s simply a process of coming back to your whole self.

Usually, there’s some catalyzing event or series of nudges that say, “Hey, isn’t there more to life than this?” And this definitely is what happened with my own journey.

When I worked in finance for 13 years, I was perfectly positioned for life to feel highly transactional. On the one hand, I basically felt like I could do anything and go anywhere and buy anything I wanted. But on the other hand, my life began to feel like a series of transactions:

✔️Wake up
✔️Drop off kid at school
✔️Commute to work
✔️Work
✔️Commute home
✔️Family dinner
✔️Prep for the next day
✔️Sleep
✔️Repeat

✔️Repeat

✔️Repeat

No judgement if this reads like your life!

But deep down, I knew that something was missing. That there must be more to life than this…

So I slowly began to let go of the transactional and embrace the spiritual. I expanded my yoga practice, went to therapy, read books on self-help and spirituality, reconnected to the Orishas, tried meditation, and gently began to nurture my mind, body, and spirit. Finally diving into reiki, sound healing, and the akashic records further propelled my journey on a transformative spiral path of healing, challenge, courage, and awakening.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
