~Share something you are passionate about:
I am passionate about helping others to identify their strengths, gifts and talents by way of Self-Discovery. My purpose is to demonstrate how pain can propel one to their purpose, by embracing my own pain.
~What are some ways you are helping to bring this forward in the world?
As a Suicide-Survivor and Sibling Survivor, I have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, PTSD and Anxiety. Having this diagnosis can be complicate to say the least. Each day when I open my eyes, I pray then fight forward in faith to stay in the light and not succumb to depression, in any shape form or fashion. It is very easy to become depressed, and easier to stay in it. However, as I am on my Self-Discovery Journey, I am learning new ways to cope with the day to day tasks and experiences.
~What are 1-3 tips you can give our
reader today to help them step forward
in their life powerfully?
1. Embrace your authenticity including
your imperfections. There is no other
person on this earth that has the gifts,
talents and purpose designed just for you.
2. Never be ashamed if you are depressed
or diagnosed with a mental health
challenge. Seek to become well by being under doctor’s care and on the road of
Self-Discovery is a Daily Journey. There is always something new to learn that will result in maturity.
