My life looked perfect from the outside:

I was a devoted mother, co-parenting across cultures with love, grace, and reverence.

Over time, my blended family grew - seven children under one roof, spanning two homes and many layers of love.

But beneath the harmony, my body was carrying what my smile couldn’t speak

Performing strength.

Managing expectations.

Until one day, my body said no.

Nine months of illness forced me to stop.

To listen.

And eventually, to choose something I’d never chosen before:

Myself.

That moment changed everything.

That choice became the foundation of everything I teach today.

Since then, I’ve walked through the dissolution of a powerful relationship, the passing of my sister, and the deaths of both parents.

And through it all, I’ve remembered:

Reclamation isn’t about rebuilding.

It’s about returning:

To joy.

To desire.

To your deepest, most radiant truth.
