This is my story
MY WAKE UP CALLS
... started over a decade ago but I just ignored them. I would make excuses and explain them away. Eventually I did notice that the messages were getting louder and louder. Early in 2014, I woke up one day and I looked in the mirror and I didn't recognize who I was anymore. Worse, I didn't like what I saw.
ON THE OUTSIDE ... I had a "good" family, "good" circle of friends, "good" jobs and "good" health
-
I had over 20 years work experience in business and technology in consulting, banking and software that gave me the opportunity to travel.
-
I also had a good job working for a national charity which I thought would give me purpose - being able to contribute to this worthy cause which affected me personally as my Dad had passed away from a heart attack and my husband had heart surgery and will need another heart surgery soon.
-
I was healthy with no major illness. I "only" had chronic lower back pains, headaches and migraines on a regular basis. I would tell myself that it was just stress and I'm lucky that it is not worse.
-
I "should" be happier. Yet I felt empty, depleted, void.
ON THE INSIDE ... I had completely lost sight of who I was. Sadly, I had also forgotten how to laugh.
-
I was desperately seeking to find my place as a step-mom in my blended family and I was co-depending for fear of not being loved or accepted.
-
I was trapped in a pattern of working too hard - at work and at home. Taking on too much responsibility, being too serious. I was constantly stressed and always tired.
-
I was buried in physical and emotional pain. I was torn with feeling frustrated, resentful and angry with how unfair my life was and then struggling to be grateful for what I did have in my life.
-
I was in a dark spin cycle and I didn't know how to let it go... until one day, I ended up at the emergency room with stroke-like symptoms.
Instinctively, I knew I could no longer ignore these wake up calls.
HONEST CHANGE ... I could no longer live my LIFE THAT WAY.
-
I was a walking zombie going through the motions of my life and getting more depressed. I was deeply unfulfilled and sad that I couldn't enjoy or appreciate what I did have.
-
I was yearning for more but I didn't even know what I wanted or how to begin unraveling the pieces. I just knew that I needed to STOP doing what I was doing and START to take notice of ME from the inside
-
I was finally ready to be honest with myself, to make sense of my choices and un-peel the layers of who I became to rediscover who I actually am. I worked on giving myself full permission to choose what I want in my life and to change the lens on how I see, feel, say, act and show up.
NEW BEGINNINGS ... I quit my job to focus on healing myself, my family and my life.
-
I embarked on my personal journey towards Conscious and Subconscious awareness to understand how my mind and body were connected and to make sense of my life.
-
I began to learn to notice my thoughts and feelings and how I would act and react. I gave myself full permission to be open and curious. I went deeper to examine my beliefs and the hidden emotions that I had repressed and push down over the years. I learned to love and accept myself just as I am.
-
I committed to investing in myself. I went on retreats, took courses, got certified. I read, listen and learned from many masters and teachers. I eagerly applied the wisdom and knowledge to make sense of my own suffering and the choices that I did and did not make.

I AM NOW shining from the inside out.
I no longer struggle with how I feel on the inside with how I show up on the outside.
My daily practice using the ZENIFUL tools serves as a compass to guide me and to remind me to honour my truth - to listen unconditionally, to speak intentionally and to choose authentically
Life is still a rollercoaster ride - it's now exciting, thrilling and only a little bit scary!
