Many drafts later, I arrived at this abridged version of my story. It leaves out names and locations and focuses on the overall premise without getting stuck in the details.
My plan is to find more ways to express my story in ways that feel authentic to me, and to my truth. Meanwhile, I hope you find inspiration in what I have written.
I've Been Where You Are
You’ve followed the rules, checked the boxes, and yet... life still feels off. Or worse, it falls apart completely. I know the feeling — because I’ve lived it.
For years, I searched for happiness and relief from major depression. I tried everything: therapy, medication, mindfulness, gratitude journaling, exercise, diet, supplements, religion, self-help books, podcasts, you name it.
And yet, it still wasn’t enough.
Finding Strength in Unexpected Places
When the world shut down during COVID, something surprising happened — I found peace.
I held it together for myself, my family, and my work. During that stillness, I realized it was time to take a hard, honest look at my life.
I saw that the person I showed to the world was just a reflection, not my whole self. To build deeper connections, I needed to tear down the walls I had built and let others see the real me. It was terrifying — and transformative.
Hitting Rock Bottom — and Choosing to Rise
In 2023, life got busy again — too busy.
Between work, family, and community commitments, I was stretched thin, desperately chasing worth through achievement. I realized I needed help. I swallowed my pride, started therapy again, and reluctantly began medication for anxiety.
Then came the crash.
Everything in my life fell apart, all at once. After battling depression for over 25 years, I thought I had beaten it. But that summer, I hit rock bottom. Quarantined with COVID, isolated in my basement, I finally made the bravest decision of my life — to get the help I truly needed.
I checked myself into a full-time mental health hospital for four weeks, followed by seven months of intensive rehabilitation. Dozens of professionals helped me piece my life back together. I didn’t just survive — I rebuilt from the ground up.
A New Purpose: Helping Others Build a Life Worth Living
Today, I’m proud of the fight it took to get here.
I didn’t just heal — I grew. I worked relentlessly to build a stable foundation: the right support, healthy habits, and the resilience to live fully.
Throughout my career in corporate management, training, and education, I was always the one people turned to for support and motivation. Coaching felt like a natural next step — but I wanted to do it right.
That’s why I became a Jay Shetty Certified Life & Success Coach. I chose this certification because it aligns with my core values: authenticity, purpose, and real transformation — not quick fixes.
