Walking the Edge: My Journey as an Empath Learning to Protect, Heal, and Shine

For as long as I can remember, I’ve sensed things others couldn’t. Energies, presences, whispers from another realm—all mixed into the fabric of my everyday life. It wasn’t until much later that I understood why: I’m an empath. Being an empath means I absorb emotions and energies around me, sometimes to the point where it feels overwhelming. Negative energies, draining people—what I call “energy vampires” or “soul snatchers”—can knock me off balance if I’m not careful. For a long time, this sensitivity felt like a curse. But now, I see it as a gift—a calling. Encounters Beyond the Veil Throughout my life, I’ve had moments that defy logic. One night driving past a cemetery, I saw a pink orb-like form linger around my car. It felt playful and curious, not frightening—a gentle energy reaching out across the veil. But it wasn’t one of my guardian angels. I’ve felt their presence in other ways, and this orb was something else—something that just passed through, maybe just drawn to my l...

The Determined Walk: From Europe's Catwalks to Dream Destinations

 The Determined Walk: From Europe's Catwalks to Dream Destinations

Have you ever dreamt of something so fiercely, you were willing to chase it across continents? That's exactly what I did as a young modeling hopeful, venturing to Europe with a heart full of ambition and a pocketful of uncertainty. Success wasn't guaranteed, but I knew one thing for sure: inaction was the enemy of progress.

Every day, I embraced the power of taking action. Even when my agency wasn't landing me the jobs I craved, I refused to be discouraged. This wasn't a dead end, just a detour. Intuition, a powerful force even back then, whispered that consistent effort would create a ripple effect. I believed that by putting out positive energy, the universe would reciprocate.

So, I took matters into my own hands. Ditching the traditional route, I bypassed the "front door" and mailed my comp card directly to the factories behind the fashion lines I admired. This bold move unlocked opportunities as a fit model for iconic brands like Raffaella Curiel, Montana, Ungaro, Thierry Mugler, Calagan and Gucci. My body became the prototype, gracing the pages of the first lookbooks and strutting down runways internationally.

This wasn't just about perseverance; it was about unwavering self-belief. Even when my agency championed other models, I held onto the conviction that my efforts and positive energy would yield results. The message is clear: belief in yourself is the cornerstone of achievement.

My efforts and unwavering spirit eventually turned the tide. The constant hustle, the runway appearances, and the campaigns I booked through direct action built a name for me. Designers began to request me specifically, my phone buzzed with casting calls, and I became a highly sought-after runway model. This wasn't just European recognition; my reputation transcended borders. The culmination of all this relentless drive? Landing a coveted agency representation with Elite Model Management, a powerhouse agency that solidified my status as a force in the modeling world. It was a testament to the transformative power of action and unwavering belief.

My journey wasn't confined to the runway. My agencies in Switzerland and Germany saw my potential for print modeling as well. They booked me for countless campaigns featuring breathtaking locations around the world. Imagine posing for swimsuits against the turquoise waters of the Seychelles, showcasing resort wear amidst the lush greenery of the Maldives, or capturing the essence of beach chic in sun-drenched Key West. These shoots were a testament to the power of taking action – they allowed me to experience the world while showcasing my talents.

This journey also revealed the power of action as a form of manifestation. Every step forward, every proactive decision, propelled me closer to my goals.

Mindset, however, is more than just positive thinking. It's a laser focus on what you desire, not what you fear. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who share your vision and passion fuels your journey. But be discerning. Uplifting friends is crucial, but don't become a one-man cheerleader for those unwilling to match your drive. Sometimes, letting go and finding new allies, those on the same energetic wavelength, is the wiser path.

Clarity often emerges from action itself. Remember the saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"? In today's world of overflowing information and social media noise, you have to be the one shouting from the rooftops. The more visible you are, the greater your chances of being seen and heard.

Giving Back: Shaping the Next Generation

My success didn't go unnoticed. Elite Model Management, the prestigious agency I eventually signed with, recognized the fire and dedication I brought to the runway. This recognition turned into an incredible opportunity – they entrusted me with training their models for the Elite Model Look of the Year contest. Here, I came full circle, passing on the tricks of the trade I'd learned through relentless effort – the art of the confident walk, the power of presence, and the unwavering belief that would propel them towards their own dreams.

So, take action, believe fiercely, and curate your circle wisely. Remember, the path to your dreams unfolds with every step you take.

Walking Away to Save Myself: Breaking the Chains of a Toxic Family

  For years, I lived with trauma so deep it tried to silence me—but instead of breaking me, it made me defiant. Everything my mother said to tear me down, I resisted. I became everything she said I couldn’t be. My mother—the person who should have protected me—was instead the source of fear, pain, and rejection. She never offered love, safety, or validation. Instead, I lived in constant anxiety and terror. The beatings were daily. And when she wasn’t hitting me herself, she had trained my middle sister to take over. The abuse was relentless. Inescapable. This was my childhood: a house ruled by violence, fear, and control. What made it even darker was her involvement in witchcraft and black magic. She used it as a weapon—threatening me with curses, wishing me dead, and vowing she would outlive her children just to watch our lives unravel. I grew up under the heavy fear that I had been cursed by the one person who was supposed to nurture me. Her cruelty didn’t stop there. She often ...

Beauty, Brains & Boundaries

    Why Worthy Women Are Done Apologizing for Wanting More As a young girl, I was an international model—traveling the world, young, beautiful, and financially independent. I was naturally drawn to powerful, intelligent, and successful men—not because I needed anything from them, but because I admired ambition. I respected men who could build something for themselves, because I was already building something for myself. But because I was beautiful, I was labeled. Assumed. Dismissed. "Gold digger" that type of judgment made me stay away from the very type of man I was genuinely aligned with. I didn’t want to be misunderstood. So I shrunk my desires and played it safe. And for that, I paid the price. As I got older, that stigma stuck. I found myself in a pattern of relationships with users, losers, and opportunists—men who took and took and gave nothing back. Men who drained my spirit, my finances, my peace. And I let it happen, because somewhere deep down, I still felt like I ...

When Nothing Is Happening, Make Shit Happen!

June was slow. Like, dead quiet slow. No business. No momentum. It felt like everything was stuck. So I did something totally ordinary—but energetically powerful. I had a yard sale. Not just to make money (though that helped). I needed to MOVE energy. To release things. To stir the pot. To show the Universe that I wasn’t just going to sit there waiting. I was going to make shit happen . And guess what? I went from zero bookings to FIVE bookings this month. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Money is energy. Movement is energy. Letting go is an invitation for more. Sometimes we think we have to wait until the “right thing” comes along, or until we “feel ready.” But the truth is, energy responds to action. When you move—even in a small way—you signal the Universe that you’re open, available, and in the flow . So if you’re in a lull, don’t panic. Clean your space. Sell stuff. Shake things up. Move your body. Make a call. Say yes to something random. Create momentum from where...
