How My Personal Struggle Led to the Start of My Business: A Reflection

I spent 38 years repressing who I was, because I believed I was wrong, bad, broken, and sinful.

This mentality nearly killed me. I lost my job, family, community, and health all in the matter of days. When my world came crashing in I decided to critically think about how I got to this space.

A major aspect of my life that I repressed centered around my sexuality. My gender, expression, identity, and orientation.

As I began to peel back the layers of hurt it became clear I was living according to everyone else’s terms. I had completely denied and abandoned myself. It was in this moment that I decided to do a complete 180 in my life.

So, I hired a team of professionals: a therapist, a sex coach, and a doctor to help me unpack this. Which lead to an intense journey of healing. For the first time in my life, I found people who deeply cared about me who had the courage to ask, the compassion to acknowledge and the empathy to accept me for who I authentically am.

I truly believe if someone can feel the presence of you and your love…without the pressure to explain, fix, or change that’s enough to shift the energy in a new direction. And, this is why I do what I do today: I expertly hold space for all of you to exist.

When all of you can exist, everything changes. Everything.
