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...

Reclaiming Wholeness: From Survival to Soul-Aligned Success


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 endurance to continue my work as a photographer.

But after three years of fighting to get that strength back—and finally no longer feeling like I was dying—I faced a different kind of fear: the fear of uncertainty. Business had slowed. The economy shifted. The world changed. The trends I once relied on disappeared. Nothing felt predictable anymore.

So I made a decision: I’m done waiting. I’m taking things into my own hands. I’m creating my own trends. I’m building my own future.

But I also believe this: it’s everybody’s duty to get back in the game.

We’ve all been sitting on the sidelines, watching and waiting to see what’s going to happen next. But if we’re all watching, then nothing’s happening. Someone has to move. Someone has to lead. Someone has to stir the energy again.

You’ve got to go out and make things happen. You’ve got to contribute—not just to the economy, but to the energy of the universe. And you’ve got to do it with intention.

It is your duty—and your divine right—to claim what is yours.

Now, I’m passionate about helping other creatives like me. Other single women. Anyone who feels lost. Anyone who doesn’t know how they’re going to pay their bills or survive the next chapter.

If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired… If you’re tired of fear, of doubt, of living in survival mode… I’m working for you.

I’m paving the way for us—to clear trauma, release emotional pain, and find a new kind of financial freedom. One that doesn’t drain your soul. One that feels aligned and alive.

I’ll guide you through the step-by-step processes that helped me reclaim my wholeness and reunite my mind, body, and soul.

Through spirituality.
Through healing.
Through aligned marketing.
Through new beliefs and pure tenacity.
Through energy work.

Because if there’s one thing I specialize in, it’s being knocked down—and getting back up, over and over again.

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...
