I’m not here as a guru or a finished product.
I’m here as a woman who has lived many lives and paid attention while doing it. I was the intuitive child, the high-functioning adult, the woman who disappeared into responsibility, and the one who found her way back to something holy and alive. What I write comes from lived experience, not theory. From wrestling with God instead of trying to explain Him. From learning that magic isn’t something you escape into. It’s something you learn to notice again in real life.
I grew up as one of those kids who felt the world before I understood it. Sensitive. Intuitive. Bright and vivid on the inside. The kind of child adults call "imaginative” because they don’t know quite what else to do with you. I went to Catholic school and sat in church every Sunday, learning Bible stories and prayers because that was simply life. I loved the rhythm of it, but it never explained what was happening inside me. My inner world was loud and luminous. A universe of knowing, stories, and visions that didn’t fit neatly into the categories I’d been given.
I wrote constantly and lived in daydreams that felt more like truth than reality ever did. But somewhere in those middle-school years, the world sped up while my inner world stayed rooted in wonder. My friends were mastering the art of fitting in. I was quietly mastering the art of not standing out. So, I did what intuitive girls often do. I folded my magic down small enough so I wouldn’t lose it… and then hid it well.
Turns out… magic doesn’t hide nearly as well as we think.
My twenties were one long stretch of leaping without looking. I built a career, tried on different versions of myself, and learned to live with a nervous system that picked up every emotion, whisper, and spirit in the room. Partying became my distraction because it was the only thing that quieted the noise. Drinking dulled the intuitive downloads, softened the pull of other people’s energy, and blurred the spiritual chatter that refused to take a day off. It made life feel easier, but it came with a price. Migraines. Chronic pain. Bone-deep fatigue. And a slow numbing of the girl who once lived so clearly.
Yet life kept moving.
I bought my first house at twenty-three. Met the love of my life and built something real the best way two young, overwhelmed people could. By thirty, I became a mother. That’s when everything I’d pushed down stopped waiting quietly in the background.
My thirties were the decade I stopped running from the girl I used to be. The intuitive child I buried came back swinging, and this time I didn't numb her. I let her lead. I studied energy medicine, learned how the human system actually works, and opened a holistic wellness center that grew faster than I could comprehend. Speaking engagements followed. Trainings. Rooms full of people looking for the same answers I'd spent years chasing. On paper it looked impressive. In real life it looked like babies on my hip while holding clients’ grief, teaching classes between school pickups, and trying to build a home on something sturdier than performance.
At the same time, my own inner world cracked wide open again. So did my children's. My marriage was being rebuilt in real time, and underneath it all, my body was waving a white flag. Chronic pain. Sleepless nights. Postpartum depression that hit harder than I ever expected. I was helping others heal while being dismantled myself.
This was the decade I stopped pretending I didn’t know who I was and started becoming her on purpose.
My forties have been the decade I finally turned back to God and to magic on my own terms. Not because I didn’t have faith before, but because I could no longer outrun what was true. Losing a dear friend to suicide shook me awake in a way nothing else ever had. Grief rearranged my insides. It made me see how often we tell others to find joy or harness their lives while quietly numbing our own with scrolling, busyness, or whatever else takes the edge off. I didn’t want that life anymore. I didn’t want to look impressive while feeling nothing. So I changed everything.
I took my last sip of alcohol on April 17, 2022 and haven’t looked back. I closed my client books, stepped away from performing wellness, and stopped living for anything other than truth. I rebuilt my nervous system. Slowed down my life. And began shaping a home and rhythm centered on God, presence, clarity, and aliveness. The magic I’d spent years trying to quiet never actually left. I just stopped pretending I couldn't hear it.
What it holds, I don’t pretend to know.
But I do know I’ll meet it fully alive, fully myself, and ready for whatever holy work is mine to do.
