Breaking Free from the Shackles of Trauma: A Journey to Unconditional Self-Love

January 21, 20232 min read

“Healing is not just about getting better. It's about unraveling the layers of pain and hurt and rediscovering who you are beneath it all.” - Iyanla Vanzant

Healing from past trauma is an essential part of leading a happy and fulfilling life. Trauma can take many forms, from physical or emotional abuse to natural disasters or accidents. It can leave deep emotional scars and impact many aspects of our lives, including our relationships, mental health, and overall well-being. The good news is that healing is possible, and there are steps we can take to help us move forward.

One of the most important things to remember when healing from past trauma is to acknowledge and validate your feelings. It's important to recognize that your experiences are real and that they have had an impact on you. This can be difficult and uncomfortable, but it is an essential step in the healing process. By acknowledging and validating your feelings, you can begin to process and move through them, rather than pushing them away or denying them.

Another important step in healing from past trauma is to practice self-care. Self-care is the process of taking care of yourself physically and emotionally. It includes things like getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, and doing activities that bring you joy and relaxation. By taking care of yourself, you can give yourself the support you need to heal. Self-care is not selfish, it is necessary.

Finally, seeking professional help can be incredibly valuable when healing from past trauma. A therapist or counselor can provide guidance and support as you work through your experiences, and can help you develop coping strategies and tools for dealing with difficult emotions and memories. Remember, healing takes time and effort, be kind and patient with yourself.

It is important to remember that healing from past trauma is a journey and it will not happen overnight. It will take time and effort, but with the right tools and support, it is possible to move forward and lead a happy and fulfilling life. Acknowledge your feelings, practice self-care and seek professional help. Remember, you deserve to heal and to love yourself unconditionally.

What's the story of Wake Up Happy, Sis?

Hey sis, I was you once. I was overwhelmed and unappreciated by the people I worked so hard to support. I was depressed but I had learned how to hide it well. “Fake it ‘till you make it," was my favorite quote back then and I was a master at it. I was unfulfilled, morbidly obese (from childhood trauma), and just felt defeated even though I had a flourishing career and a lot of friends. I felt like I was always the one who had to sacrifice for others… I sacrificed for my children, my friends, my family, my career; it never seemed to end. I felt like that is what I was SUPPOSED to do as a good mother, friend, employee. Boy was I wrong!

When I was stressed, baby, I stressed everyone around me. I snapped at my children more. I was b*tchy towards my friends and family and this caused my personal relationships to suffer. My professional relationships suffered and I was even passed over for a promotion that I definitely should have received based on the value that I brought to the company. You can say, I felt lonely, even in a crowd.

So I realized I had to change or I would surely die. I needed happiness and balance. I needed boundaries and love and peace. But I was very worried how my changes would affect my family, friends, and professional connections. Change would definitely hurt or leave some behind. I just couldn’t take everyone with me or I would continue to hold myself back. My change would be disruptive because they needed me - I definitely had that superwoman cape on tight!

I knew that I needed to do something drastic and different, so I decided to bet on me first! I decided to prioritize my self-care and wellness because I needed to Wake Up Happy, Sis!

So I ended unhealthy relationships and practices that weren’t serving me and were in fact bad for my physical, emotional and mental well-being. I went where I was celebrated, not just tolerated. I filled my self-care toolkit with all the tools and resources I needed to help make this change - that took me 15 years! I decided to start the Wake Up Happy, Sis! Movement to help my sisters learn what took me 15 years!

Sis, it’s time to re-prioritize yourself. Just like having a fitness partner, you need a self care accountability partner. We all need accountability to reset, refresh, and reconnect to our true self. Let me help you find your happy, healed, and whole self.

WELCOME TO THE WAKE UP HAPPY, SIS! NETWORK.

I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU SMILE!
