Being indecisive after high school on were to actually direct my future career path, I decided to pridefully take on one of the toughest jobs on the market.. A correctional officer!!
This choice was made because of the beliefs created by modern society’s standards that most people fix their future on. Get a job. Make lot’s of money. to pay bills and buy things. To impress people you don’t know and that most likely you don’t like.
But this career is definitely not the easiest one and as most correctional officers tell you, it changes you as a person. The facts of seeing, hearing, and feeling what goes on in this tiny world on a continuous basis has tremendous impacts on the human psyche. Have you ever heard “we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with”. What do you believe happens when criminals, murderers, and rapists get together in their little community!! The effects are multiply by the number of inmates in there, that’s what!
I was definitely affected by this, as most are (even if they don’t admit it!).
The years on me inside took it’s toll on my health and well being. Soon after my departure was diagnosed with PTSD, struggling with addictive behaviour, and having my own struggles with suicidal ideations. I was at my all time low. And had no place and no one to rely on!!I felt totally lost!!
Of course the system we now have in place wasn't much of a help. Which offered little in respect of services for me to heal and get better. A traditional psychologist and pharmaceutical cocktail was prescribed as the only viable treatment options and a “we hope you get well” statement followed the prescribed treatments.
As deep as I was at the time I did the only thing I knew about, I prayed. Asking for help, guidance, and healing for me so that I can get back on my path to wellness. And Life answered.
It’s at this time I began my journey of personal Development, Coaching, and self-actualization process. Like magic, I was introduced to this new coach which helped tremendously to direct myself inwards and to start figuring out how I specifically saw the world. This shift was surely the beginning but definitely no the end. The following years I spent all the resources, time and money I had on personal coaching, courses, and therapy. Low and behold there was a whole world I wasn't aware of. Learning as much as I can on wholistic nutrition, physical health, trauma recovery, energy work, quantum physics, coaching, counselling, neurology, spirituality, leadership, business, ect… anything I could in the field of personal development and human evolution.
—Personal development Saved my Life!!!!
All these tools have taught me so much and I am beyond grateful. I realize that only ourselves can take account for our own actions, behaviours, thoughts, and emotions.. We can change!! It is possible!! I now devote my life to speaking this truth.
Turning my lead into gold or my Rock bottom into triumph or my challenges into my passions. Having studied many successful people I saw time and time again that the only way to recovery was not attributed to anything outside of us but mostly to our, feelings, thoughts, and behaviours directed internally.
Now speaker, entrepreneur, and Coach I help alternative health professionals grow their business. By doing this, I believe we can have a bigger impact and shine a light on society. I believe in everyone’s ability to get better. Yet only through personal evolution and support. The first step is making the invisible visible or raising awareness on what is possible. Hence this Beautiful project.
