My reawakening happened later in life

I say reawakening because I have memories of being a child and feeling directly connected through the heart—always guided and never alone. At around age 11, however, I remember that “inner flame” blowing out, and in that moment my connection was muted and I was left on my own.

I went to school, built a career in the fashion and beauty industries, made money, and lived and traveled all over the world. From the outside, I lacked nothing material. Yet, in my mid-40’s an inner voice began to question everything I did. It was not the inner critic; this voice asked only two questions of me: Who are you? Why are you here?

I was never sure how to answer these questions, but I knew that being financially independent and “successful” in my career were not the right answers. My core motivations in life were being challenged, and it rocked me.

My inability to provide answers caused the questioning to become louder and more insistent. At the same time, all enjoyment of my life was rapidly diminishing. Eventually, I reached a point where I had no desire to be on the planet any longer.

Rather than end my life, I found myself guided to quit my life—leave my job and the identity I had created to go inside and discover the answers I could not find in the external world. The timing of this transition conveniently coincided with the pandemic lockdown.

Following my inner guidance became the catalyst to unlock a flow of information that continued for several years, and continues even today. My first book is the result of six years of transcribing a path of evolution that I was instructed to follow, and also one that I am meant to share with others. This is my contribution to the collective shift of consciousness on the planet.

Why do I share this?

At this time, more and more people are becoming aware of their unique cosmic wisdom and gifts because this is precisely how life on this planet will evolve. Each of us will experience our own awakening, whether in this life or the next. It can occur spontaneously or unfold over several years; it can arrive at a young age or later in life. And yet very few of us, especially in the West, are prepared to expect this or know what to do when it happens.

The awakening is just the beginning

The moment we welcome the wisdom of the heart, everything we once thought was true will be transformed. Nothing will remain the same. This is our death and our resurrection.

It is only when we clear the past and go inside that our unique contribution to the future will begin to move through us. When we welcome it, the voices of the inner critic, the arrogant ego, and the scared child become dwarfed by a powerful new perspective. It knows precisely who we are and why we are here because It sent us. The Soul holds the blueprint for this existence and will generously share every detail with us when we move into stillness and listen.

We cannot do this alone

I am infinitely grateful for the many mentors, therapists, healers, and teachers I have had the opportunity to work with over the last decade. Each played an important role in my awakening.

However, it was not until I met a living master, Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi, and became Her student in 2018 that my life purpose gained clarity.

Though I earned an MBA with honors, excelled in the fashion and beauty industries for 25 years, and became certified to teach Mindfulness Meditation, health coaching, Shamanic Reiki, and several other practices, it was only through the grace and guidance of Sai Maa that I experienced my heart reopen.

And in this state, I finally tasted the freedom of knowing precisely who I Am and why I am here.

As an author and guide to the new paradigm, it is my mission to share all that I have learned and remembered along my path with those who are dedicated to their transformation.
