From my youngest years I experienced deep emotional, sexual, and physical traumas that forced me to shut down my feeling body and armor myself against those who were meant to protect me. As a result, my childhood was forged in a state of defense and struggle which wreaked havoc on my core relational structures.
I had an early inner knowing that the adults around me most certainly did not have the answers. While this instilled a certain ‘know-it-all’ flavor to my expression, it also imbued me with the strength and drive to figure it out for myself and to follow my own path.
I knew 3 things from a young age: (1) the drive for money would not rule my decisions, (2) there was a higher consciousness expressing through each of us, and (3) somehow, everything would be okay.
