How did I get back to ‘me’ after trauma, loss, and depression?

How did I get back to ‘me’ after trauma, loss, and depression?

December 17, 20222 min read

The other day someone sent me a message and said she didn’t know how I did it. How did I get back to ‘me’ after everything I went through?

First, I gave myself grace. Then, I got to work. And the first thing I had to do was make a decision. I wasn’t going to settle anymore.

I knew that I deserve better than what we’ve been through, and that my kids deserve better, too. It wasn’t fair to any of us to not live the most enriched life we possibly can. And, as a single mom, I knew that it was up to me to make things better. I had to set the example.

So, I started with my mindset. It always starts with mindset. (You can check out my interview with Michele Meza to learn more about that.) As she reminds us, “thoughts become words become actions,” so you have GOT to start with what’s going on in your head.

Just this week, I’ve had to pull myself out of that negative space on several occasions. All I could see were the challenges ahead of me, the plans that aren’t working, the places I’m “dropping the ball.”

But when I intentionally shifted my perspective, those same challenges turned from roadblocks to stepping stones. 

I sat down to focus on 2023 and began reviewing this past year. Let me tell you, 2022 started out rough…

The first quarter was messy and ugly. This time last year, I was in the hospital, literally ready to give up on life.

Fast forward to today, and I’m humbled by my achievements. Over the past 9 months:

– I traveled without my children and focused on myself for almost 2 weeks
– I bought a house in California
– I moved my family from IL to CA
– I rebranded my business + began sharing my story with others
– I co-authored a book + became an international best-selling author
– I appeared in my first podcasts
– I became a public speaker
– I produced + hosted a virtual summit with international experts
– I began hiring a team + delegating tasks within my business
– I’m preparing to publish my next book in Summer 2023

WOW!!! When I look at it that way, I feel incredible – unstoppable! Like I can do ANYTHING! Because the truth is that I can. And so can you!

Getting back to yourself after a breakup or loss starts with getting your mind right and I want to help. I want you to experience that same feeling of empowerment!

So, I’m opening up my calendar next week for 12 free coaching calls as a special holiday gift for you! Let’s connect to talk about your specific situation and plan for stepping into your feminine power in 2023.

You deserve better, too. I can help you get there. Get started HERE.
