My Journey - My Story
Justifying my existence…
I have lived most of my life justifying my existence. As a result, I lived as a human “doing” rather than a human “being”. Maybe this resonates?
I have been on a healing and spiritual awakening journey, letting go of the old stories and learning to love, accept and honor the “who, what, why and how” of me.
I believe…
we are NOT broken and there is nothing wrong us and we all have wounds to heal.
˖⋆₊☽◯☾°˖⋆
that awareness is the first step in healing.
⁺◯˚.⋆
we can heal ourselves but we don’t have to do it alone.
⁺☽˚.⋆
that self love and acceptance and honoring the who, what, why and how of us is the recipe to living an empowered, peaceful & authentic life.
◯₊‧⁺˖⋆
we can change our story and create a life that is beyond our imagination & so much better!
☾₊‧⁺˖⋆
vulnerability is a strength 100% and a catalyst to healing.
˖⋆₊☽◯☾°˖⋆
in universal energy, a higher power, source, spirit and that we are always guided and protected.
.𖥔 ݁ ˖
in signs and synchronicities.
⁺☽˚.⋆
if we release perceived control and detach from the outcome we will be led to everything that is for our best and highest good.
⁺◯˚.⋆
when we allow our mind, body & soul to connect with spirit we are aligned and living our best, authentic and true to ourselves life.
⁺☽˚.⋆
energy, moon and clutter clearing alchemy.
◯₊‧⁺˖⋆
what once was our medicine can also become our poison and when we are ready we can remedy this.
☾₊‧⁺˖⋆
our body has wisdom and speaks to us.
.𖥔 ݁ ˖
we all have intuition- it is our inner compass.
◯₊‧⁺˖⋆
forgiveness is a gift to ourselves and a remedy for our pain and suffering.
.𖥔 ݁ ˖
words are magic and powerful. How we use them for ourselves, and others really matters.
⁺◯˚.⋆
our soul communicates through our heart first and mind second.
⁺☽˚.⋆
authenticity has been lost and we are now reclaiming it as a collective.
◯₊‧⁺˖⋆
that curiosity and the beginner mind keeps us vibrant and alive.
☾₊‧⁺˖⋆
sharing is caring and can bring so much light, hope and healing to others.
˖⋆₊☽◯☾°˖⋆
shining our light is essential to our growth and expansion and when we shine, others shine and the world becomes a brighter place.
.𖥔 ݁ ˖
perfection is old news and in order to live in joy, harmony and peace we need to let it go.
⁺◯˚.⋆
I believe healthy boundaries are essential AF.
⁺☽˚.⋆
in the ripple effect
◯₊‧⁺˖⋆
comparison is a disease and the cure is belief and trust in our selves while staying in our sovereign centre.
☾₊‧⁺˖⋆
being a work in progress…a woman in progress (W.I.P) is a badge we can wear loudly and proudly. It’s real, it’s true and it’s definitely OK!

What did “justifying my existence” look like?
It was feeling unworthy and not enough for the majority of my days topped with confusion, fear, anxiety, exhaustion and overwhelm. I experienced burnout several times. Body pain, unusual ailments and constantly thinking something was wrong with me and that I may be dying was real.
I almost always compared myself to others. I self judged, controlled, people pleased and overfunctioned.
I got into cyclical patterns of pushing myself, crashing, getting stuck and running on empty never fully recovering because I would feel slightly better and then become the “human doing” again.
I valued myself by how much I accomplished, how busy I was and how much I helped others.
I did all of this and lived a fairly “normal” life.
That of a traveller, learner, wife, mother, friend, employee and employer. I loved my family & friends, enjoyed life’s milestones, raised a family, helped run a business and volunteered in my community.
And I was basically the poster girl for the imposter syndrome at the same time- so complicated right!?
What happened?
Wall meet Tammy...Tammy…Wall
I can’t say the exact day I knew I needed to make a lifestyle change but I can say it was about when I hit that proverbial "wall” in 2013 (ish).
Thankfully, with divine timing and intervention I was guided to amazing programs, coaches, guides, practitioners & mentors that helped me get back on my feet.
There were fears and tears mixed with hopefulness and curiosity. It was pretty “wobbly” for lack of a better word and, I'll be honest, it wasn't all rainbows and unicorns.
What I can say is that healing - transforming - reinventing - becoming - redesigning - reclaiming (whichever word resonates) is totally worth it!
I now know and feel that life happens for me rather than to me.
My desire for each woman that journeys with me is…
To BELIEVE in herself and TRUST the journey she is on.
To DISCOVER and RECLAIM her AUTHENTIC self.
To experience FULFILLMENT, EMPOWERMENT, ALIGNMENT, FREEDOM and PEACE.
To REMEMBER she is WORTHY and ENOUGH, and that she has the right to feel good about TAKING UP SPACE, SHINING her light and living her DESIRED life.
What have I learned?
Soooo much! About myself, about finding and following my own life map (alignment), surrendering, trusting my intuition and that everything I do, every choice I make, how I feel and who I am surrounded by is always for my highest good.
It just is.
There really is no right or wrong but there is contrast & clarity; light & shadow; wins & lessons; expansion & contraction; inspiration & obligation; love & fear.
We get to choose how we want to view, experience and show up in our lives.
I now know I am NOT BROKEN and there is NOTHING WRONG with me.
I am a “woman-in-progress” (WIP) living a more authentic version of myself and it feels fantastic!
Over the past 25 years, I have trained in the healing and intuitive arts. I am bringing all that I’ve learned, all the skills gained to my work and showing up as the guide and the lighthouse women need to navigate their healing and transformation journey.
