From the “Safe Path” to Living My Truth
“You’re a Mechanical Engineer and now you’re doing what!?!”
Yes, most people can’t believe I’ve made such a drastic change in my career, but the truth is on some level I knew what I was meant to do but I never let myself see it because it really scared me.
Growing up, I knew how to excel in school and so that’s what I did. I chose the “acceptable” career of Mechanical Engineering and just pushed through it and succeeded in others’ eyes.
And soon after I started my Engineering career I realized that this career I had squished myself into really wasn’t me. It was in some ways, but I KNEW there was more for me to be and do. And that feeling didn’t go away until I stepped up to my purpose.
But something deep within me called for more. I have friends who don’t really care what they do for eight hours in their day, but for me, I needed meaning, I needed authenticity.
I felt something big was missing in my life. I felt empty in a lot of ways and I couldn’t seem to shift this feeling. I was doing fine in my career but always felt I was meant to do something more with my life.
But once again, I was held back by fear… Am I really good enough to do what I want? Will people accept me if I do this different kind of work? How would I even start?
Now this journey wasn’t exactly easy for me. I had to literally release all of the major fears, patterns and issues that had caused me to be something that I wasn’t in the first place.
And the more I did this, the more Me I was and the more everything fell into place to take me forward.
In my journey I went from totally suppressing who I was and my true self out of fear, conforming to a safe path to living my truth, being who I came here to be and expressing my true self, my creativity and my spirit on a regular basis through doing the work that I love. Things that would have terrified me in the past!
My journey was one of great inner transformation and spiritual growth. It was a journey of healing, of letting go of all of the old fears and ways of being I had that were holding me back from being my true self easily and confidently.
Who I was then needed to change in order for me to fully, authentically and successfully live the life I knew deep down I was meant to live and doing what I love and serving others.
And that has been the greatest gift to me. In making the transition from the old me to the new, more authentic, true self I knew I was deep down, I walked the path that I now help my clients walk down.
I know the struggles, the fears, the doubts that are faced when moving from the life you have to living your truth. I know what it’s like to be stuck and to feel helpless and frustrated, not knowing how I will ever make it, but so deeply wanting the change.
Knowing that nothing else would be good enough, nothing else would do. Knowing what I wanted, but feeling like it was always so far out of reach.
I thought this journey was about changing careers and creating a successful business. But it was much more than that. It was a journey of spiritual growth and of letting go of all that held me back. It was a journey of healing, of letting go of all of the old fears and ways of being that were restricting my true self.
As I had discovered, there was a reason I was so fearful of doing this work that I love and allowing my true self to be exposed. And I am so grateful to have been a Channel for such loving wisdom and life-changing tools that have allowed me to quickly and easily let go of the fears and energy of the past that kept me in restriction and living from fear.
And in this journey from feeling so stuck and restricted to immense inner freedom and deep fulfillment, I created the Freedom to Shine Program to help others who are where I was before, held back by deep fears yet knowing they are meant to do and be more. Helping them step up to make the difference they are meant to make in the world, without getting in their own way.
At Freedom to Shine I share the Intuitive Healing Process which is immensely powerful and allows my clients to release deep seated fears and past life blocks that are getting in the way of Holistic Practitioners growing their business. And when these old fears and energetic blocks are gone, they become unstoppable as they grow their business.
And I am so grateful to be doing this work and to be living my most amazing life every single day, a life based in freedom and authenticity.
And to be helping Holistic Practitioners make the difference they feel so called to make. With a sense of confidence within instead of fear and uncertainty.
