“Shut your face, Suzy Sunshine! What the hell do you know about real life?”
When you look at me, what do you see? Do you see: Confidence? Beauty? Strength? Joy? Kindness? Happiness? Positivity? A silly blonde?
Yes- I am all of those, but i am so much more.
To look at me now, you might never guess that I ever struggled, let alone felt pain, shame, and paralyzing fear for most of my life.
From early childhood, i suffered as a victim of molestation, bullying, and abuse. It played as a recurring theme throughout my teens, and later manifested as a man with terrible demons of his own- the man who became my child’s father. The man who nearly killed me.
I escaped from that situation with my baby boy and anything i could stuff in the trunk of my mom’s car, but i would go on to live in the hell of my nightmares for years- decades- to come. I tried numbing with drugs and booze, shallow relationships, and dat party lyf! Of course, it only carried more pain, more shame, more fear.
What saved me? Love. Love reached down from heaven and gave me another chance to live. Love showed up in kind, caring, REAL friendships. Love pointed me to therapy, to community, and to finding my true self. Slowly, i began the deep, healing work of forgiveness, learning to trust again, and walk alongside my shadow in order to find my Light. To discover who I really am: I Am Love, I Am Forgiveness, I Am Grace, I Am Healing. I Am Worthy & Deserving of Good Things. I Am a Warrior, and I Am Peace.
It’s why I AM so happy. So strong. So confident. So joyful. So positive. So ALIVE. And it’s what led me to this place, this chapter of my life, where I can finally help other women to heal their soul’s wounds, release their shame, and write a new, happy, empowered ending to their life’s story. You and I are Warriors, Love!
