So… Is Your Higher Self the Same as Source?

By The Artful Woman
  Not exactly. Think of it like this: Source is the origin —pure consciousness, God/Goddess/Divine Light, whatever you want to call it. It’s the everything-and-nothing energy from which all things come. Your Higher Self is your personal bridge to Source. It’s your soul in its purest form , untainted by fear, ego, or human distortion. Your Higher Self is you , just on the zoomed-out level —the version of you that remembers the full story, all lifetimes, all lessons, all missions. So: Source is the sun. Your Higher Self is the sunbeam that still holds its essence but is uniquely you . Is Your Higher Self Your Soul? Pretty much— but here's the nuance: Your soul is eternal. It’s the part of you that has lived countless lives. Your Higher Self is like the fully awakened version of your soul —the one not currently squeezed into a human body trying to pay bills and avoid family drama. When you're in human form, you're kind of like the tip of the i...

Holistic Healing for Chronic Migraines: How Stress, Mindfulness, and Energy Work Can Help

By The Artful Woman

Chronic migraines can be debilitating, affecting every aspect of life. If you've experienced persistent pain on the side of your head and have exhausted medical options with no clear answers, you’re not alone. While modern medicine provides diagnostic tools and medications, many people, including myself, seek holistic solutions that address the root causes beyond physical symptoms. Through my personal journey of overcoming chronic migraines, I’ve discovered the profound connection between stress, emotional energy, and pain—and how mindfulness, meditation, and energy healing can provide lasting relief.

The Link Between Stress and Chronic Migraines: If medical tests have ruled out serious conditions, stress may be a significant underlying factor in your migraines. Stress impacts the nervous system, increasing nerve sensitivity and muscle tension, particularly in the neck, shoulders, and scalp. These physical responses can compress nerves and restrict blood flow, triggering or worsening migraines. Chronic stress also elevates pain perception, making existing headaches feel even more intense.

The Role of Energy and Emotional Blockages: In holistic healing traditions, it’s believed that unresolved emotions and energy imbalances contribute to physical ailments. The head is closely associated with mental overwhelm, overthinking, and emotional pressure. If you're constantly carrying stress, your body might be manifesting it as chronic pain. Practices such as energy healing, breathwork, and meditation help release stored emotional tension, restoring balance and reducing migraine frequency.

Holistic Approaches for Migraine Relief:

  1. Meditation & Mindfulness – Mindfulness helps calm an overactive nervous system, reducing migraine triggers. Meditation promotes relaxation and retrains the brain to respond differently to stress.

  2. Energy Healing & Chakra Balancing – Techniques like Reiki and acupuncture can help remove blockages and restore energetic balance, easing pain and promoting relaxation.

  3. Breathwork & Deep Relaxation – Conscious breathing techniques can improve oxygen flow, reduce muscle tension, and relieve migraine pressure.

  4. Lifestyle Adjustments – Managing triggers like caffeine, sleep deprivation, and poor posture can support overall well-being and lessen the frequency of migraines.

 Transform Your Relationship with Pain You don’t have to suffer in silence or rely solely on medications. By addressing stress, energy imbalances, and emotional patterns, you can create a holistic path to healing. If you’re ready to explore natural relief from chronic migraines, I invite you to work with me.

Learning to Speak Again—from the Inside Out

By The Artful Woman
There was a time I silenced myself— Not because I had nothing to say, But because I thought nobody cared. It all started when I became a photographer. I spent years capturing other people’s stories—their moments, their milestones, their memories. I poured myself into their light while quietly fading into the background. No one ever really asked about my story. Then I moved to a town where, oddly enough, that silence deepened. Coming from Orange County, I was used to people being curious—wanting to know me, connect with me. But after moving to Lake Elsinore, it felt like no one gave two shits about who I was or what I’d lived through. Even in my church community—despite showing up, attending events, trying to build relationships—no one asked. No one seemed to care. So, over time, I just stopped sharing. I stopped offering anything at all. For years, I silenced myself. Not because I had nothing to say— But because nobody asked. Then came the stroke. Afterward, I stuttered and stumb...

From Employee to Entrepreneur

By The Artful Woman
You might wonder why I started a photography business.  After losing my career in the mortgage industry and struggling to find work in sales and marketing during the 2007 recession, I turned to landscape photography as a hobby. People who saw my photos started asking for headshots and family portraits. Initially, I resisted, insisting I didn't photograph people. But with gentle encouragement from friends, I eventually gave in, and lo and behold, I was really good at photographing people. So much so that it felt more like divine intervention. It was as if God were saying, "Stop trying to open doors to your past of dead-end jobs and oversold career promises when I'm trying to open doors to your future." This was a spiritual awakening, and with that, everything sort of just fell into line. After that, what truly motivated me to start my own business was a deep-seated frustration. I was tired of building other people's empires with my own sweat and effort. Whether it ...

Reclaiming Wholeness: From Survival to Soul-Aligned Success

By The Artful Woman
There are two pivotal moments in my life that changed everything. The first was when I had my stroke. I was lying on the ground, unable to move, and I prayed to God, “Please don’t leave me like this.” I had no idea how I was going to provide for myself. I’ve been an unmarried woman my entire life—not necessarily by choice, but because I never met the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. So I’ve always had to pay my own bills and take care of myself. After my stroke, I was left with deep trauma and fear. It felt like my soul had disconnected—like I’d lost a piece of who I was, and I didn’t know how to get it back. The second was the pandemic. It left a lot of fear in me. I had my stroke during the pandemic, and in a strange way, it was both a blessing and a curse. The world stopped—and that pause gave me the time I needed to heal. In the beginning, I focused on my physical healing. I thought that was the most important thing. I needed to rebuild my strength, stamina, and endu...

Unworthy to Wealthy: My Money Mindset Shift

By The Artful Woman
  Unworthy to Wealthy: My Money Mindset Shift  I created this course on money mindset because I grew up with a deeply ingrained scarcity mindset. From a young age, I was exposed to conflicting messages about money that shaped my beliefs for years. Raised Catholic and later converting to Christianity, certain religious teachings, especially the idea that “money is the root of all evil,” created a sense of guilt around wealth. I internalized the belief that desiring or accumulating money was wrong or selfish, adding layers of shame to my relationship with money. But it wasn’t just religious beliefs that influenced me—it was also my family environment. My mother, a single mom raising four kids, was extremely tight with money. Every penny was carefully managed, and the constant focus was on survival rather than abundance. I can still remember being punished for something as small as using a paper towel before it was completely soiled. Food was scarce, and if I ate something my mom...
