If you'd told twenty-year-old me that she would still be alive after thirty, she wouldn't have believed you. Having already experienced over a decade of trauma and suicidal thoughts and ideation, I was sure I wouldn't make it past twenty five - and that was an ambitious goal.
Twenty was the age at which I experienced my worst trauma, an experience with domestic violence, but I was sixteen when I first set twenty five as the deadline by which I would live out my dreams or die trying. Even in the midst of my mental health struggles, I was resilient, defiant, and determined. I had big dreams, and you best believe I was going to reach them before my life ended.
I made a deal with myself: Pursue all of my goals, achieve them, then end my life at twenty five having gotten everything I ever wanted or end my life sooner if I just couldn't bring myself to get through that many years.
At twenty four and nine months, I had to face my reality: I hadn't achieved any of my dreams. Parts of me felt I'd kept myself alive for nothing, and the resulting defeat left me dwelling in rock bottom and finding myself hospitalized.
It was in the hospital that I realized I had a beautiful new opportunity: I had never pictured my life past twenty five, which meant I had a clean slate from which to start over. I asked myself the question that changed everything:
If I could be, do, or have anything in the world...what would that look like?
Over the following year, I manifested my dream apartment, dream car, and dream relationship and went on my first ever tour for my music, a 65-day, 11,000-mile solo journey across the U.S.! I created a method out of the steps I took to rise up from rock bottom and build a limitless life (The Limitless Life Method course is coming soon!) and became a mindset coach.
As I navigated this new outlook on life, I studied Internal Family Systems and parts work as a patient with one of the leading experts of the industry, Dr. Frank Anderson. I quickly realized that alongside the work it took to shift my mindset, I needed to delve so much deeper in order to fully heal from my trauma experiences. I spent six years as a patient, and in the back half of 2025, I studied IFS as a student so I could incorporate this trauma-informed modality into my work as a coach.
Now, I'm a parts work coach integrating all of the modalities I've learned over the years to show that it's possible to release the inner battle, heal, and find inner peace, all through being yourself.
