I thought I needed therapy, but really I needed to follow my heart

For years I worked a job that wasn’t aligned with me—my goals, dreams, beliefs, desires, passions—and for years I was unhappy.

I ignored this growing sense of dissatisfaction and continued working, because I had to pay off my student loans.

I numbed it out and distracted myself with emotional eating, shopping, and overachieving.

The stress and the nature of the work I was doing put me more in my masculine energy, and I became more disconnected from my sensuality and feminine energy (Shakti).

I felt completely turned off and disconnected from my body. I felt drained and depressed.

There came a point where I felt that my soul was dying. I felt stuck, unfulfilled, and unsatisfied.

I’d done all of the right things according to society. I had secured a “good” job and I had earned two advanced degrees, but still I was unhappy.

“There must be something wrong with me if I’m not happy,” I thought.

So I reached out to a therapist and had a few appointments. In hindsight, now that I’m a coach, I can see that really all she did was coach me.

There was nothing wrong with me; I didn’t need to work on any deep psychological issues.

What I needed was to do what made me happy.

Unfortunately, after a couple sessions, I wasn’t able to continue seeing this therapist to get the support I needed to leave my job, because of payment and insurance logistics. So I continued to stay stuck where I was, until one day I received the clarity (while in meditation during my yoga teacher training) to finally break free from the trappings of so-called success, student loans, city living, and a 9-to-5 “academic professional” career at a university that no longer served me.

I finally quit my job, followed my heart, returned to nature, and reconnected to feminine energy. I stopped suppressing and sacrificing myself, reactivated Shakti, and reconnected to my creative life force energy.

I had always wanted to travel to experience life outside of the Western world first-hand, but I hadn’t had the courage to actually do it until that point.

It didn’t actually make logical sense to quit my job to travel, because it wasn’t a smart career choice or part of a clear path.

In hindsight, I can see that like most people, I was simply afraid of the uncertainty that following my heart would bring, which was stifling my growth and making me feel unhappy.

Deep down, I wanted to be free.

To connect to the wisdom of nature.

To live simply.

And in harmony
So I did.

It took me a while to gain the clarity and courage necessary to take the leap, but I finally did it.

I headed to the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica to teach yoga, play on the beach and live in the jungle and never looked back.

Four years later I’m ready to hold space for others who are on a similar journey of freedom and self-discovery.

It seemed to me as if most people were living life completely backwards,

that they were doing so much to get things that they thought would bring

them what they desired, but all of this was actually taking them further from

the deeper feeling they were seeking; many had sold their souls and had

grown disconnected from their true nature, which led to a greater sense of

division, less connection, a more competitive nature, which made it so much

easier for the powers that be to divide and conquer.

Living in such abundance with a small amount of money was liberating;

it opened my eyes and heart to the reality that money really doesn’t make

you happy, although it can be used as a helpful tool.

I received a message from my

ancestors speaking loud and clear,

“We see you, we are celebrating you, we

are rejoicing; you have finally broken free and you have come so far, for all

of us.” […]

We are the change, we are the future and we’re strong on our

own, but far stronger, together.

This journey has been about returning to nature to remember our true

nature; it’s mostly been about finding the courage and aware-

ness to allow my heart to continue to lead the way to remembrance, which is

what my soul came here on Earth to experience.

Sometimes we must forget in order to remember who and what we

really are—

Love.

And once this is remembered, we mustn’t let anything or anyone keep

us from living in love and liberation, to truly be the love that we want to see

in the world.
