Shes proud that shes committed to her own
emotional healing, that shes really willing to
be messy and beautiful and expand more and more
even when that feels really scary. Shes proud of
the incredible relationships that she has with
women in her life that she calls sisters and she
always had the most incredible women in her life.
She feels really proud of that and know that
theyve pretty much shaped who she become. Shes
proud of her deep connection to nature and that
she can communicate and can act with plant
spirits and plant medicines. She feels really
proud of the work that she does in the world and

She thinks that we have tendencies when we look
at people we really admire and respect to think
that that just kind of happened. For the most
part, there are many ebbs and flows and
pulsations that bring us up and then bring us
back down and bring us up. For her, the second
half of her twenties were really, really rough.
13
She was, at that time, in a really dysfunctional
relationship and she couldnt quite get herself
to leave. She really, really loved this man, yet
knew in her heart that her needs were never going
to be met. Because of this intense back and forth
that she felt and the intense emotional turmoil,
she put so much of her life on hold. She also
didnt have a lot of energy to put into other
parts of her life, so she was really struggling
with money.

She was having chronic yeast infections because
the way that she look at it is because her most
feminine parts were trying to communicate with
her and tell her that there was a disconnect
between her souls whisperings and her actions.
She also wasnt living her dharma. She wasnt
growing her business. She wasnt reaching the
women that she knew in her heart she was here on
this planet to serve. Life felt so challenging.
She really felt trapped. She just felt like how
is this pattern, how is this relationship, this
money, this business, my health going to shift
and change? It was really, really a big challenge
and a lot of heartache and pain that she went
through.
17
She had been living in Hawaii, and she moved from
Hawaii to Los Angeles. She started focusing on
her business because something inside of her said
that she had to choose herself. When she said,
yes to choosing herself, everything just
opened. All the energies that felt stuck,
stagnant, and broken really, really opened.

She ended her relationship with the guy and it
was terrible, heartbreaking, and heart wrenching.
Shes not sure if she ever gone through that
level of heartache in her life and yet she knew
that it was a must. Whatever she was feeling and
however uncomfortable the pain in her heart was,
she also knew that it had to happen. It was a
really long journey of my healing. She had a lot
of books that she read and a lot of friends who
helped her. They owned tools that she used. It
took her a long while to end that relationship,
find herself again, and find her money, work, and
health. It was a beautiful, beautiful journey in
the pain and the opening.

The reason she moved to L.A. was because she had
an astrologer years before tell her that it was a
good place to live because in the moment in
Hawaii, she just felt like where is she going to
go? What is about to happen? She had one friend
in Los Angeles who she went to college with and
it was all just very beautifully synchronistic.
Her friends roommate was actually leaving for
three months, so she moved in with her.
22
One of the biggest pieces was she felt like she
really needed to create financial abundance for
herself. She had moved somewhere new. She had to
buy a car She had left her car in Hawaii because
she kind of just left. There was a lot of her
that was just visioning her life thinking what
kind of money does she need to make right now?
She spent a lot of time creating connections and
meeting people. Like she said, there was a lot of
ease for her getting doula jobs.
23
She still talk to people about this because in
comparison to the stuck and the sadness that she
had been feeling for so long in her relationship
and in Hawaii, there was so much ease when she
got to Los Angeles, which just affirmed
everything for her.
