2011 – 2013

The Rabbit Hole

In 2011, after a painful breakup, I began to question my behavior and the role I played in the pain, and it was eye-opening. Thus began my journey down a long self-discovery rabbit hole.

I started paying attention to even more things about myself. And I realized I may be struggling with mental health disorders. So, I did some research and started self-diagnosing. Sound familiar? Lol.

In 2012, I decided to see a psychiatrist to get help. I was diagnosed with Inattentive ADD, OCD, and Bipolar II Mood Disorder. I started taking medication.

I was also in active addiction using alcohol, marijuana, and unprescribed prescription opioids. But it wasn’t until November 2013, when I hit my rock bottom, that I decided to get help.

I knew something was stopping me from moving forward in life. And that something was drugs and alcohol.

So, on December 13^th, at 27 years old, I checked myself into a rehab facility for 30 days. From there, I decided to go to a long-term transitional program so I could start rebuilding my life.

2014 – 2015

The Lone Wolf

So, there I was. Safe and sober, living in the best transitional program for women in Baltimore. I had an on-site therapist and everything I needed to start over.

But there was so much more to moving forward in life than being safe and sober.

I still had to deal with my mental health issues because medication could not change my behavior. I had to do the work.

All the while, I had locked myself in a cage from the inside and tossed the key. I stayed trapped inside my head, lived in tragic daydreams, and wore my lone wolf badge with honor.

The prison I created for myself was my comfort zone, and I was the warden…a tough one. I said no more than I said yes, I kept people at arm’s length, and I focused all my attention on “improving” myself.

Sounds lonely, yet?

In 2015, after not fully participating, two stays on a psychiatric unit, and a few failed attempts to hold down a job….

It was time for me to leave the program.

2016 – 2021

The Search for Purpose

In 2016, I got a stable job and started searching for the one thing I’ve wondered since I was 13 years old…

My life’s purpose.

At the end of 2017, I made a bold move and stopped taking medication. But it was never my intention to stay on it forever. It had served its purpose and had become more of an inconvenience than it helped.

For the next several years, I was doing everything I could to make lifestyle changes for my mental health. I thought I would be more productive and take action on one of my many business ideas.

Planners, more therapy, minute-by-minute morning routines, ayurvedic remedies. You name it, I’ve probably tried it. But some of the most powerful things I practiced during these years were…

Leaving my comfort zone (repeatedly), setting boundaries, speaking my truth, and being present. And boy was it a bumpy, anxiety-drenched ride.

By the end of 2020, I was fed up with searching for my life’s purpose. So I decided to choose a skill that could give me freedom, purpose, and a high income. I chose writing.

In 2021, I took my first copywriting course. I didn’t know it would be the spark that opened up a whole new layer of issues.

2022 – 2025

The Big Shift

In 2022, I joined an 8-week copywriting coaching program. I had finally settled on a path, and it was freelance copywriting. And that’s when it hit me…

There was so much more to moving forward in life than mental health issues.

There was imposter syndrome, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of being seen…the list goes on. Did I say fear?

In 2023, I read a book about the ego that helped me change my perception and attitude and live a more peaceful life.

In 2024, I left my job of nearly 8 years. Shortly after, I ended up on an energy healing journey that led to major transformations. Then came the big shift.

In October of 2025, I completed Reiki II and went into The Void. Everything I desired at the time was stripped away, except for things from my childhood. Writing, drawing, and a deep desire to be free and have fun.

When I reflected on the idea of having fun, I felt my energy rise, and I started to feel excited. Excited to create, express myself, and most importantly, share my voice.

And this time, I was ready to be seen. So, allow me to officially introduce myself.
