I’ve lived through the depths many fear to name — suicide, trauma, and the weight of inherited patterns that shaped who I thought I was. I once did everything society told me would make me whole, successful, and happy — earned the degrees, built the life, checked the boxes — yet found myself empty, because that path neglected the most vital part of us: our spiritual essence. Through grace, grit, and unflinching self-work, I began to unravel the conditioning, release what wasn’t mine, and reclaim my truth. Over years of healing and reflection, I’ve learned that redemption is possible — that even in our darkest moments, the light never fully goes out. My life has become my witness: pain transformed into purpose, despair transmuted into possibility. I now live from a place of alignment — mind, body, and spirit — walking alongside others not as someone who has “arrived,” but that healing is a continual unfolding. - MJR: CPLC & Personal Transformation Facilitator via Spiritual Guidance
