How I moved from an anxious and unsatisfied life to a happier and calmer life
This month I want to share with you why I am obsessed with self-healing, and why I have made it my purpose…it all begins with my own story.
I was raised in a conservative society, where being successful was the only way for a woman to have a better life. I was a good student, made my parents and teachers proud, did my degree and starting an amazing corporate career. I got promotions, got married, bought a car and got a mortgage… Everything was looking idyllic in my picture-perfect life.
This is where my depression started.
I was deeply depressed even though I had everything desirable on paper. In order to hide my deep pain, I changed my hair color, started to hang around with toxic people to feel worthy and look for outside pleasures, such as shoes, compliments, more career success, an MBA…
I hit rock bottom during my divorce. I felt as though I was just a failure. Despite all my success, my ego was crushed. I started with therapy and tried various treatments. Week after week, I was struggling with the same issues, and the change was slow. I was suffering from what others thought about me, anxious & unhappy inside, trying to look perfect on the outside which made me feel like a complete fraud.
The critical voices inside me were telling me what a fraud I was, and it started to make me physically sick, which lead to a cycle of trying more treatments, painkillers and therapies….
Yes, this is how I started this journey. Desperately looking for someone to fix me… I was looking for the healing that would save me for 5 years.
After trying various healing and coaching modalities, I finally understood the truth: Only we can heal ourselves, it is possible and yet is very simple.
It took a lot of effort, and wasn’t easy, however healing is there for everyone and it is possible. I was able to move from an anxious and unsatisfied life to a happier and calmer life with big and bold changes.
I moved country and finally l felt at home, a place where I can walk safely in the forest every day with no worries. I changed my corporate career and found a job where I felt valued and aligned. I found deep fulfilling love and married my soulmate, which helped me to thrive in my transformation.
Through the process, I uncovered my own gifts as a healer to create profound change in my life and I learnt how to share it with others to guide their transformational journey. I found purpose in my life and dedicated myself to sharing what I experienced; healing is in simplicity and it is within you…
Last week, I shared some of my journey and passion around self-healing on a podcast interview. If you'd like to understand what I mean by saying ”only you can heal yourself” and get to know me better, just click below to listen on your favourite platform.
Agi’s created his “Personal Development Mastery” podcast channel for those who believe and want to explore more on self-development. His vision is “the power of self-education and personal development in radically improving one's life” and as you might guess he created this vision by walking on the path of self-development, by living it every day. I am so happy to be part of his journey on serving others through this channel…
If you missed this podcast last week, now it is time to understand why only you can heal yourself…
