When Everything Fell Apart I Chose to Heal

 
 

It was such an honor to be a guest on the Healing Millions podcast with Nina.
This wasn’t just another interview - it was a deep, real conversation about trauma, grief, divine intervention,
and the healing journey that has shaped my life.

 

At just ten years old, I lost my father. I didn’t fully understand how that moment would shape me until much later.
I wasn’t really allowed to grieve. I just moved forward, as if nothing had happened, but that grief didn’t disappear.
When I was 18, it hit me like a sinkhole. I fell into it. That was the beginning of something, not the end.


Since then, I’ve survived trauma that changed me forever.
I’ve walked away from experiences that could have taken my life.
I’ve asked big questions -  about healing, about the soul, and about how to keep going when everything feels too heavy.


Through it all, I’ve learned one powerful truth - there’s gold in pain.


The darkest parts of my life - the abuse, the grief, the near-death moments, they’ve been fertile ground for something bigger to grow. I think of it like Soul Gardening - composting the pain, tending to what’s real, and giving yourself permission to grow again.


One of the most pivotal moments in my life came during a car accident. I had driven off a cliff, and somehow survived. Lying there, I didn’t feel pain, I felt presence. A divine presence. I heard words inside me that I will never forget:


“You can heal. This is not your whole life.”


That was the moment I surrendered.


After that, I picked up You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay and worked through it page by page, week by week.
I committed to healing as if it were my full-time job, because in many ways, it was. That’s when the dreams began.
I was told clearly, my work is in spiritual healing.


Today, that’s what I do. I teach people how to reconnect with themselves and with Spirit. I guide others through
Soul Gardening and Lunar Alchemy - work that honors the cycles of nature, the body, and the soul. With each moon cycle, we seed, we grow, we release, we begin again. And through this rhythm, we heal.


What I’ve come to believe is that:


Healing is always available. Help is always around us. But we have to ask.
We have to listen. We have to be willing to follow even the faintest thread of light.


Being on Nina’s podcast was a reminder that these stories matter. That it’s okay to talk about the pain. That we are never alone, even in our darkest hour. And if you’re in that place right now, grieving, stuck, exhausted, I want you to know:


You can heal. You can choose your path. This isn’t going to be your whole life.


Take a moment for yourself. Watch the podcast. You might just find the light you’ve been searching for.
