You could say my journey began in my mid-20s.
I had just moved to Los Angeles, sleeping on a futon in a small living room.
My life felt like a mess with no real direction or purpose.
Every day, I felt increasingly more stuck, broke, and depressed.
I truly believed I was those things. I had no money, I felt like I had no control over my destiny.
"My life was NOT supposed to turn out like this," I thought.
On top of my own inner turmoil, I was in an extremely toxic relationship, and working at a bad bar job.
But my challenges didn't end there.
Fast forward a few years, nothing had improved.
I was officially "stuck".
I continued to sink deeper into anxiety, and toxic habits.
I would binge-watching tv every night, and drink wine to numb the pain.
I was still broke, I was babysitting for $10 an hour.
It felt like my body was beginning to attack itself from the inside out.
I would wake up some days feeling this overwhelming heartache because of what my life looked like.
One day, I decided that I would do ANYTHING to change the position I was in.
Out of a willingness to try anything,
I started reading personal development books.
A few of which, began teaching me about my own energy, the power of manifestation, and helpful routines.
I thought, like many others, "If they can do it, so can I."
So I began applying the concepts I was reading about.
I began looking at myself differently.
I felt different.
Slowly, my life began to change.
I deepened my studies on manifestation. I began meditating daily, scripting my goals, visualizing my new realities, and embodying everything that I could only guess at the time was possible for me, too.
