That painful chapter became the turning point in my life.

​

I burned out at the end of 2021. The signals had been there for almost a year, but I refused to listen to them. Back then, my attitude was that burnout was for the weak—and if there was one thing I was certain of, it was that I was not weak. I was strong, and I could push through anything. I had a little girl to take care of, a job, a household to run. Giving in was not an option.

​

During my healing process, I discovered that this burnout was actually my spiritual awakening. I learned that everything happens for a reason, and always at the right time.

​

My mother was deeply spiritual for as long as I can remember. She was wise, intuitive, and spiritually intelligent. When I was a teenager, we would often stay up late having long, soulful conversations—I loved those moments with her. Yet even though she was far ahead of her time spiritually, her life here on earth was filled with challenges and setbacks. Things often went wrong, plans failed, and financial struggles followed one after another.

​

As a result, I started to distance myself from spirituality. I used to say to her, “Mom, could you please come down to earth and focus on what’s actually happening here?” Her life seemed chaotic and unstable, and I associated spirituality with that chaos.

​

Now, after my own spiritual awakening, I understand. I’m deeply grateful for the lessons she taught me from a young age. Through her—and through my own journey—I learned how important it is to find the right balance between living in the physical world and staying connected to the spiritual one. After all, we are here on earth for a reason.

​

Through my healing journey, I also discovered how essential the nervous system—especially the vagus nerve—is in finding peace again. The vagus nerve acts like a natural brake on stress and fear. When it is activated, your heart rate slows down, your breathing softens, your body relaxes, and your mind regains clarity. Without it, you remain trapped in a cycle of tension, panic, and self-doubt.

​

I also discovered that true healing goes deeper than calming the body—it’s about letting go of the past. Many of us try to move forward by simply not thinking about painful experiences anymore, but our nervous system remembers what our mind tries to forget. Until we acknowledge, feel, and release those old wounds, our body remains in survival mode, constantly scanning for danger that no longer exists.

​

Forgiveness—of others and of ourselves—became a key part of my own healing. It allowed my body and mind to finally exhale, to stop fighting the past, and to open up to peace.

​

Letting go also meant taking an honest look at the patterns and habits that kept me stuck—not only those inherited through ancestral and childhood trauma, but also the ones I had developed to survive.

​

Over the years, I had taught myself never to show emotion on the outside. When I didn’t feel well and it showed on my face, I would put on extra makeup so no one could tell that I was struggling. I always kept my back straight, pretending everything was fine, because showing emotion felt like weakness. I had learned that vulnerability could make me a target for people who didn’t have my best interests at heart.

​

At some point during my healing process, I realized I was no longer living as myself—I had been playing roles. The role of the lawyer. The woman. The mother. The wife. I had built my life around who I thought I should be, instead of who I truly was.

​

Learning to work with my body, to listen deeply to its wisdom, and to trust my intuition again brought me back to myself. It was the key to moving beyond fear and burnout—into a life of balance, strength, and truth.

​

With remembering who I truly am, I finally found my voice. And through my coaching and podcast, it’s my purpose to help others do the same—to release what no longer serves them, reconnect with their truth, and live freely from the heart.
