There was a time when the idea of living my dream life felt laughable. Not because I didn’t want it, but because, on a subconscious level, I didn’t believe I deserved it.
I grew up in a toxic, emotionally abusive environment that left me feeling unloved and unseen. I grew up feeling like I was never enough.
The adults around me would take their anger out on me, screaming and yelling at me for no reason. I learned how to shrink myself to survive. To anticipate others’ needs before my own. To dim my light to feel a little bit safe.
I carried that heaviness with me for my entire life. Now, at the tender age of 28, I am still healing from the things that hurt me.
I grew up and followed the path that was expected of me. For a long time, I did not listen to my heart. My soul was screaming to be heard.
After I finished college, I found myself completely lost. I had followed the rules and checked all the boxes. But I had no idea who I was.
I entered a short-lived whirlwind relationship with a narcissist, thinking maybe love would finally fill the void. Plot twist: It didn’t. Instead, it broke me open in the best way possible.
Because that heartbreak was the catalyst for my spiritual journey. That was the moment I chose myself.
Rewiring My Mind: The Science of Self-Worth
After that relationship, I was reeling. I was so confused. It felt like I was grieving a person who had never actually existed. The person I thought I knew was someone else entirely.
Desperate to stop feeling so alone, I focused on healing from the hurt.
As I dove deeper into my healing journey, I re-entered the fascinating world of neuroscience. I was interested in the subject when I was in college, but I stopped being interested in a lot of things after graduation.
I started to remember how much I loved learning about the brain. It literally reshapes itself based on what we repeatedly think, feel, and believe.
I realized I could use this to my advantage. I could use this to heal—not just from the relationship, but also from my childhood trauma!
I started to understand that all the negative beliefs I had about myself were not fixed truths. They were programs formed by repeated exposure to trauma and toxic environments.
But here’s the magic: those programs can be rewritten.
I began using simple neuroscience-backed tools to rewire my mind:
- Affirmations with emotion to create new neural pathways.
- Visualization and mental rehearsal to “prime” my brain for the life I wanted to live.
- Gratitude practices to shift my focus away from survival and toward abundance.
Our brains are plastic, which mean we can restructure them. When we change our inner world, our external reality reflects it.
I am living proof that this works.
Energy Is Everything
While I was delving deeper into neuroscience, I also started exploring the energetic side of manifestation. I was fascinated by frequency and quantum mechanics. I loved the idea that we attract what we are, not what we want.
It just made so much sense. So, I learned everything I could about manifestation, and I went hard. I made a vow to myself that I would get everything I had ever wanted, no matter what.
I am a good person, and I know I deserve it.
It took a lot of work and countless meditations, but when I finally truly felt worthy of my desires, I started noticing small miracles. Free food. Random money. Invitations and opportunities I never expected.
But it wasn’t just about money or material items. It was about alignment.
My energy and my standards shifted. And the Universe responded.
Your energy is your magnet. When you heal, you stop settling. When you believe, you start receiving. And when you’re in flow, life meets you halfway.
And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
From Survival Mode to Dream Life
Today, I live a life that Past Me could not even imagine. I am living a better life than I ever expected to. Life is bigger and more beautiful than I had ever known.
Now, I regularly wake up feeling excited and filled with gratitude. I have a business that aligns with my purpose (Kindly Abundant!). I create, I inspire, and I connect with people all over the world.
But none of it happened overnight. And none of it happened without intention.
I didn’t “positive think” my way here. I healed my way here. I reprogrammed my brain and shifted my frequency.
Every manifestation is a reflection of my inner transformation.
What’s Coming Next…
I’ll be sharing more soon. My personal manifestation success stories are endless. I’ve manifested my specific person, dream clients, aligned opportunities, and unexpected abundance. I’ll teach you the rituals, mindset shifts, and energy practices that helped me along the way.
Because if I can do this, coming from where I started… so can you.
And you deserve it more than you know.
You are not broken. You are not behind. You are becoming. And the life you’re dreaming of is dreaming of you too. You just need to align yourself with it.
