Since being heavily bullied in high school I had long suffered from low self esteem, but my life truly started to unravel in 2022. I’d lost my mother three years prior and then my father passed away suddenly. A month later, my partner, who I had just moved in with, left me. There I was in my 30s; newly orphaned, single after 10 years and living alone for the first time.

I was lost.

Helpless.

Like I didn’t belong or matter.

With no tools to help me manage my emotions, I sunk. Anti-depressants gave me nothing but brain fog. Jumping into the arms of other men didn’t work. Traditional talk therapy couldn’t reach the depth of what I was carrying.

After another sleepless night sobbing into my tear-stained pillows, I thought: there had to be more to life than this. More than the perpetual feeling of drowning in a void. So, I started looking inside myself. Instead of asking “why is this happening to me?”, I asked, “why is this happening for me?”

In that moment, my world changed. I learned that everything I was craving - connection, love and belonging - was already within me. The mind had made up stories that I wasn’t worthy of having those things, and I believed them. My deepest healing came when I began challenging those belief systems and built a new identity rooted in truth, beyond the stories.

This was true freedom.

Your emotions aren’t your enemy, but your superpower. Your willingness to bravely look beyond the surface of what you have always known is what catapults you to making lasting change.

I won’t sugarcoat it. It can be f*cking hard unlearning a lifetime of habits. There can be tears, rage, apathy and bliss all in the same breath, but learning to meet yourself, again and again, to become your most liberated and embodied self is the most sacred and exhilarating thing you’ll ever do.
