Our external world from childhood shapes the adult we become. The environment in which we live moulds our personality and how we show up in the world. We form defences and coping strategies based on our experiences. What a lot of people may not realise is that these experiences can be tracked back to the womb.

Like everything in life, healing and self-growth is a process. A process which takes time, patience and understanding. There is nothing linear about it, you will go up and down and sometimes around and around the same cycle until the lesson starts to sink in. I am far from the finished product. Nor do I believe anybody ever will be. I believe the key to happiness is in the ability to understand ourselves, in being able to accept ourselves for all that we are, light, dark and everything in between.
