Join me in this introspective episode as I take you through my transformative journey from the depths of fear to newfound hope. In early 2023, I faced the daunting challenge of financial instability and job searches, leading to profound self-reflection and growth.
As I grappled with professional challenges and personal upheavals throughout 2024, I underwent what is known as the shamanic death. This process was not without its pains, but it was also a journey towards embracing who I truly am, unburdened by past traumas.
By 2025, I embarked on a path of writing, choosing to focus on what I love and releasing the need to control the external world. Through struggles and enlightenment, I share my ongoing journey of renewal, and invite you to reflect on your own Phoenix stories as we navigate these transformative times together.
