For years, I tied my value to how others saw me, especially in familial and romantic relationships. I experienced emotional abuse that slowly chipped away at my self-esteem. I became overly accommodating, confused love with approval, and didn’t know how to speak up for myself. I reached a point where I hardly recognized myself. My healing began when I stopped looking outside myself for validation and started listening inward. Through prayer, therapy, journaling, and lots of reflection, I learned how to love the woman I was becoming. I became certified in life and relationship coaching because I wanted to give others what I wish I had—someone to remind them of their worth when they can’t see it. I also created a support group for women where we talked honestly about self-image, boundaries, and joy. I realized that so many of us are silently struggling with how we see ourselves. Now, I live with clarity, peace, and a deep love for who I am, and I want to help others experience the same.
