Healing the Unseen Scars: My Origin Story of Breakthrough and Transformation Through Trauma Release

There’s a part of my story I don’t share often.🥺 It’s raw, humbling, and taught me one of the hardest lessons of my life.

It started with epilepsy, a condition that stole more than 15 years of my life and ended with a revelation I never saw coming.

In 2017, something miraculous happened. After years of living with pharmacoresistant epilepsy, brain surgery freed me completely. I became one of the rare people who could say, “I used to have epilepsy.” That freedom came with overwhelming gratitude. I wanted so badly to give back, to take all that pain and turn it into something meaningful for others who were still struggling.

So, in 2019, I followed what I thought was my calling. I trained, learned, and focused on what everyone said to do: find a niche. I poured myself into offering memory improvement strategies for people living with epilepsy. It felt perfect, until it wasn’t.

Not long after launching my memory course, I realized I’d missed something huge. The people I wanted to help weren’t ready for the kind of support I was offering. They were overwhelmed, just trying to survive. And I’d forgotten what it felt like to live with epilepsy myself. I had buried that pain so deep that I didn’t remember the day-to-day struggle: Just remembering to take my medication was hard back then. How could I expect them to focus on memory improvement? What was I thinking? I hadn’t integrated the past pain; I had buried it!

It was heartbreaking. I felt like I’d failed, not just in business but in my purpose of giving back! And, just like I’d done with my past struggles, including the epilepsy experience, I buried that failure and pretended it didn’t happen.

But the hardest realization came later, when all the buried gunk started to come up. Even though epilepsy was no longer part of my life, I still didn’t feel free. I couldn’t understand it! How could someone who had experienced a miracle feel so… lost? It wasn’t just depression, it felt as if i shouldn’t be here!

That’s when I started searching for deeper answers. And I found something I never expected: TRAUMA

I didn’t think I had trauma. Like so many others, I thought trauma came from big, obvious events. But I learned it can hide in the subtle moments too. For me, it was growing up as a highly sensitive person, a child who often felt misunderstood. It was years of brushing off emotional wounds, unmet expectations, and societal pressures, layer upon layer, they became a huge wall of trauma that didn’t allow me to connect with myself or feel safe in my body. Those invisible scars had stayed with me, shaping my life without me even realizing it.

Learning how to release that trauma changed everything. For the first time, I started feeling like I was reconnecting with my truth, releasing trauma, not just from the physical toll of epilepsy but from the deeper emotional wounds I didn’t even know were there. And, as I began releasing those layers, something unexpected happened: that calling to help others came back! Stronger than before ✨

This time, I took things slow. I kept it close to my heart and let it grow at its own pace. Not only is this journey deeply fulfilling, but it turns out I’m also really good at guiding others through trauma release. I always thought I was a designer at heart, but now I design unique paths to freedom, helping others find their way back to their hearts, back home, and reconnect with their true selves.

For the past few years, as a trauma release coach, I’ve had the privilege of guiding people through the process of releasing the deep-rooted trauma trapped in their bodies. It’s not just about healing; it’s about helping them reconnect with their true selves and experience a kind of freedom they once thought impossible.

Trauma hides in unexpected places, childhood experiences, societal pressures, parental expectations, and our deepest fears. It shows up in our triggers and judgments. And most of us don’t seek help until it becomes unbearable.

I feel so honored to help people let go of that weight and rediscover their freedom. It’s not always easy, but seeing someone come out the other side lighter and more connected to themselves? It’s the greatest gift.

If you know someone who’s stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by something they can’t move past, let them know there’s a gentle, easy way to release it. Feel free to share my name with them—I’d be happy to help.

Conclusion: Reclaiming Your Freedom

Every challenge we face leaves a mark, but it also offers a choice: to stay in the shadow of that experience or to step into the light of transformation. My journey has taught me that healing is not about erasing the past—it’s about reclaiming the power it took from us. It’s about learning to see our struggles not as failures but as stepping stones to a more authentic, connected, and free version of ourselves.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned through my journey and in working with clients, it’s that freedom isn’t just the absence of pain—it’s the presence of peace, self-love, and courage. It’s within reach for all of us, no matter how long we’ve been carrying the weight of our past.

As you read this, I hope you’re reminded that healing is possible, even in the places that feel too deep or too buried. Take a moment to honor your resilience, your story, and the part of you that’s still fighting for freedom. You’re not alone on this path—and when the time is right, I’d be honored to guide you toward that light.

✨YOU DESERVE YOUR HEART’S DESIRES, THAT’S THE TRUTH YOUR SOUL HAS ALWAYS KNOWN.✨
