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

By The Artful Woman
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...

Faith, Self-Belief, and the Path to Abundance

By The Artful Woman

 


There was a time in my life when I was so desperate for any kind of job that I undermined my own potential. I accepted less than I deserved because I was desperate and feared that better opportunities wouldn’t come. The economy was tough, and I felt trapped by circumstances, settling for what was available instead of striving for what I was truly capable of. Yet deep down, I knew I wasn’t using all my gifts and talents.

Through this struggle, I learned a powerful lesson: faith in God and self-belief are essential. Even when the world around you feels uncertain, having faith in God and trusting that better opportunities will come can prevent you from settling. Believe in yourself. Recognize your potential, and know that your talents are valuable, no matter the external circumstances.

Trust that God has a plan for you, even when it doesn’t align with your timeline. His time is not always your time. Sometimes, the waiting period feels endless, but there’s often a lesson within that waiting. It teaches patience, perseverance, and resilience. You must believe that God will place the right people and opportunities in your path to guide you toward your purpose.

At the same time, you must live with the mindset that anything is possible and that your talents have true value. Faith and self-belief aren’t just about waiting—they are about being ready to receive the blessings you deserve. Set your intentions clearly, and take action in the direction you want to go. Then trust that God is already working to bring those intentions to life. Expect miracles — they are waiting for you.

I also realized I was repeating a pattern of self-sabotage: making a lot of money, then losing it just as quickly. This cycle kept happening because my mindset wasn’t aligned with abundance. To break this cycle, I had to shift to a constant mindset of attraction. Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want. Speak about your dreams and goals, not your doubts and fears. When negative thoughts arise, cancel them out. Replace them with positive, empowering ones. Visualize your success in detail: what your life will look like, how it will feel, and what you’ll do with the abundance you receive.

Ask yourself: How will you use your wealth to make a difference? Will you donate to charitable causes? Help individuals in need? Give to your church? Imagine the joy of simple acts, like leaving an unexpectedly large tip at a restaurant, just to brighten someone’s day—whether or not the service was exceptional. That’s the beauty of abundance: it allows you to lift others up and leave them in a better state than you found them.

When you combine faith, self-belief, and a readiness to receive, you align yourself with the abundant life that God has in store for you. Trust that your gifts are valuable. Never sell yourself short. Your potential is limitless, and your blessings are already on their way. For Coaching Info Click Here

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

By The Artful Woman
  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

By The Artful Woman
    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!

By The Artful Woman
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...
