Money and success come first in my story because … 

it was the one area of I could focus on and thrive in, since a significant trauma occurred in my early teenage years, that would prevent me from being able to start a family later on.

The trauma involved a violent attack that left me fighting for my life, while dating a football player in my high school, when I was fifteen years old. He was tried and sentenced to prison, but I was left robbed of my ability to feel safe in romantic connections with men, for decades to come.

 
After this, my ONLY HOPE for feeling accomplished in my young life was to chase success, while most young women my age were focused on finding romantic partners to eventually start families with.

And even though I was an A-student and publishing articles about women’s empowerment in my late teens, then landed a career position that had a 20% chance of being hired, and stayed in that career for 19 years, I NEVER could have imagined receiving a $25,000. single cash transaction in this coaching business that I launched in September of 2009.

That’s my former *annual* salary in a single transaction, which my client paid for a year in advance of coaching at the time.

This accomplishment taught me so much about never giving up on your life’s goals, because you haven’t perfectly healed from past trauma. You don’t have to! Nobody would have considered me perfectly healed when I hit the incredible financial milestones, not by a longshot.

Next is the literal hardest thing I’ve ever accomplished = finding peace in my romantic relationships, after trauma destroyed  even the possibility for me.

After my near-death trauma at 15 years old, I started to isolate myself from my closest, lifelong friends and all potential boyfriends. I didn’t trust people in general anymore.

When I turned legal drinking age at 19 years old I did find it easier to connect to people because the alcohol took most of the discomfort away. So I had a large group of friends that I went dancing and drinking with, then stayed away from people outside of those nights.

When the novelty of this wore off though, and I got sick of drinking alcohol, because I was never a big drinking or drugging or partying person outside of that period — I never did have an addictive personality type—I went back to being alone and threw myself into my career with government, helping families in crisis for twenty years, to avoid the massive challenges I experienced with interpersonal intimacy due to my trauma.

I was so tired from over-working that I didn’t feel too much loneliness, so it was a genius coping mechanism, I thought—until Canada’s second largest child murder case landed on my desk and the level I had to give to support my community, the victim’s family, in addition to carrying on with my usual (already heavy caseload) and trying to manage all of the unhealed trauma I carried within me, burned me out completely in 2007.

It was during this dark night of my soul that I realized I had to heal my inner trauma because living without close relationships meant excruciating pain for me.

So I got into therapy, started dating again, at first having wild and dramatic relationships with men that didn’t quite involve physical violence, but definitely qualified me for a spot on Dr Phil or The Jerry Springer Show!

Today I’m happy to report that there is so much peace in my relationships and I have solid confidence in and genuinely enjoy close, peaceful, intimate relationships in not just my romantic relationships, but also my family, friendship and more casual social circles.

Growing up my physical health was nurtured by my parents who were highly active and taught us kids to be. 

Following the customs of our small Italian village origin, we also ate natural foods straight from the earth, for most of my childhood.

 As an adult I mostly kept up with these healthy habits, but when I was overwhelmed by the aforementioned murder case when I turned thirty, I turned to comfort food to cope before I got the appropriate help for my PTSD, that I so desperately needed. 

During the 2020 global crisis, I became so overwhelmed that I started to veer toward comfort eating as coping once again, but because I was older, my physical health went into crisis quick quick, which allowed me to make the firm decision to release it as a (self-sabotaging) coping mechanism once and for all. 

This is why I feel so blessed to be heading into my 50s with a high level of mastery over my well-being, on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels, given all that I been through in this lifetime.

Helping people move through heavy grief is one of my gifts and talents.

As far back as I can, remember, I was communicating with the other side, even as a little girl. I saw family members who had passed away, I saw my main angel guide with me my whole life, and every time we moved into another home, I would meet and see the spirits there.

I thought this was normal. I thought everyone did this, and nobody thought anything of it when I talked about it, because I grew up in a Roman Catholic household, with spiritual women, who believed in angels too.

As an adult, whenever I struggled with grief and loss, I would turn to humans like counsellors for help, but usually women who were spiritual like me, to get an experience of feeling that felt whole and complete to me, instead of that feeling of “missing something” when the non-physical world is ignored or not mentioned in healing work.

Everything changed for me when I realized that not everybody had my psychic mediumship talent and gift. I have now been honing my craft for decades, providing mentorship professionally for women who also have psychic gifts for over 15 years, and I now offer the healing experience of psychic mediumship to others (where I connect people to their loved ones who have passed away).

But I couldn’t have reached any of these goals without first cultivating peace within myself, my home, my body, and my relationships. This is what gave me the energy to make my dreams manifest, and have 🔥 hot confidence 🔥 as I did it.
