As a Certified Professional Life Coach, Registered Nurse and ‘survivor,’ I have spent the last 9+ years writing about the trials and tribulations of my life. Writing about how marriage, divorce, parenthood, emotional abuse, postpartum depression and having a deep faith have helped my healing… and in turn, I pray it can help guide YOU! Let’s talk about how hard life is and how paying attention to your gaslights can help to guide your everyday flow.

When faced with emotional abuse, it can be daunting to envision a path toward happiness and belief in oneself. However, through resilience and self-reflection, I discovered the strength to break free from the cycle of abuse. Embracing my faith in God allowed me to find solace and guidance during the darkest moments, reassuring me that I am never alone. With this newfound clarity, I learned to forgive myself and others, understanding that second chances are not only possible but essential for personal growth. Today, I stand tall as a testament to the power of healing, reminding myself and others that it is never too late to rewrite our stories and reclaim our joy. Be the beacon that guides others to pay attention to their own gaslights.

Did you know that the lotus flower symbolizes strength, resilience and rebirth? Its flower rises from murky, muddy waters without stains each evening; proving that beauty can come from darkness.
