My Healing Journey

I’m from California. I grew up in a household affected by domestic violence. Over the years, I struggled with self-image, addiction, and abusive relationships. I’ve experienced deep loss, including losing my mother, and endured extreme emotional, physical, and mental pain.

There was a time when I hit a mental health breaking point—fueled by drugs and self-defeating behaviors. But I chose to fight for my life.

Through in-house treatment, intense counseling, NA & AA, and reconnecting with my culture—especially through powwow and helping others—I began to heal.

Today, my life is blossoming into something beautiful. I feel deeply connected to my spirit, and I am beyond blessed.

Healing is possible. You can have a beautiful life. Dig deep. Do your shadow work. Rise—and become a blessing to others.

You are a beacon of light. Never forget that.
