A Message from Harmony: A Healing Story
For a decade or so … something had been missing. Despite what I’d achieved in my career, I was bored. Exhausted. Spinning my wheels, working too hard, and I just couldn’t seem to break through to the next level.
I finally realized that the reason I couldn’t seem to “get it together” and take my own businesses to the higher levels I (thought I) wanted them to reach was NOT because I was somehow “flawed.”
I realized that I wasn’t able to “level up” for several very good reasons.
Those reasons were not because “I suck and am a slacker,” (despite what my nagging inner critic told me in my most disheartened moments).
One reason was because I had to refresh my purpose … and follow my true calling.
I was sick of working in the same old career I’d been in since age 19, but I was too afraid to leave the line of work that comprised the vast majority of my work experience.
The other reason was that I had to heal the emotional blocks, intrusive thoughts, and limiting beliefs that kept me running in place.
They had me convinced that I didn’t deserve to move up or move on … that I was ungrateful for what I’d already accomplished … and that I probably just didn’t have what it took to make the types of moves I wanted on the level I craved.
But then, the “aha” moment…
In 2020, I discovered how the life I’d been used to as a youth was affecting me today.
I’ve survived several harrowing, distressing, and terrifying events. (We call those “traumas” in these parts.)
For me, the start of C19 was a blessing in disguise, because I was alerted to the existence of online therapy that made psychological counseling considerably more convenient, a lot more approachable, and that offered me the power of CHOICE that I hadn’t found in my area.
Therapy helped my healing journey. But it wasn’t enough.
Even my counselor was (lovingly) frustrated. Because although I clearly KNEW what to do — and wholeheartedly WANTED to do it — in nerve-wracking situations (meetings, negotiations, speaking, marketing), I couldn’t seem to… actually DO it. Not the way I knew I could.
I tried EMDR, and it helped me feel a lot more peaceful and functional. But it was a weird fit for the complex/multiple traumatic events I’d experienced. (There was no “ONE trauma” that made me feel so nervous and anxious in certain biz situations.)
I had settled uncomfortably into A State of Paralysis that became my entire adult existence… again, when faced with higher-stress situations.
(I’ve since learned through my trauma education for Energetic Harmony that EMDR was neither created nor designed to be a therapy for multiple-event traumas.)
So again, I dove head first into the holistic, natural world.
I realized that I needed to use the same natural, root cause-based approach that was helping me heal my physical body to heal my emotional (and spiritual) body.
(I also needed to use a body-based approach to heal my emotional trauma… but I hadn’t discovered that quite yet.)
From self-help reading, to psychotherapy/counseling, to hypnotherapy, to various types of reiki, to functional medicine, to sound therapy, to revisiting the Law of Attraction, to several forms of yoga, to trigger point therapy, to herbal remedies, to meditation, to tarot, to … so much more … I tried it.
And within a few months, I finally found the LASTING change I was seeking.
I was finally disabling the fear, and building on the dismantling of each block.
(Before, I’d seem to overcome a block, achieve a little, then encounter a high-stress situation and get scared… then shrink back into the obscurity of the safe, comfortable Web business “background” on which I’d built my career.)
I took what worked most and fastest, chucked the rest, and figured out a recipe others could duplicate, based on neuroscience and proven trauma research.
And so?
I compressed the recipe into a step-by-step program for other tough professionals and survivors, to help them heal and dial down fear.
That’s why I created Energetic Harmony.
Maybe you’re having a hard enough time just getting out of bed… or sleeping at all… or motivating yourself to do the work.
Or maybe you’re stewing in the depressive dissatisfaction that is just trying to figure out your next move, or where to go with your life or career next.
Maybe you wake up every morning feeling like an emotionless droid because YOU KNOW the path you’re on is not the one you’re supposed to walk… and it’s relentlessly draining your energy.
Even if all you feel like you can do right now is EXIST, tread water, and try to break through to tomorrow…
That’s okay.
It’s only temporary.
That you’re STILL SEARCHING and STILL HAVE HOPE is a beautiful first step.
So give yourself the props you deserve and take the next step, Alternative Thinker.
Armed with an arsenal of healing tools that have worked for thousands of others, I can show you how to feel better. I can help you feel AGAIN, just as long as you’re willing to jump in head first and make the effort to save your own career — and life.
“Save your own career… and life?”
Yes. I’m not being melodramatic. You already feel this story:
Is it really “living” to d-r-a-g yourself through the motions, day after day, with no sense of purpose?
Is it living to be in constant pain (physically or emotionally)?
Is it “living” to KNOW you need to change to make strides in your career… but not changing anything because you’re unsure exactly what to do for sustainable, root-cause improvements?
My dearest, quirkiest, most uniquely wonderful entrepreneur…
Will existing in a state of stagnation, confusion, pain, frustration, and PURE FATIGUE help you achieve the calling you KNOW you were put here for?
Will it help you care for your family?
Hell, will it even help you care for yourself?
Me and the science are here for you, Renegade.
After decades of confusion, low self worth, self-criticism, and shame, I broke through the deepest blocks. I feel more FREE and HAPPY than I’ve ever been. Yes, even in the middle of a plandemic.
Not because things are somehow, magically perfect.
But because the imperfection doesn’t affect me as much.
And because I’ve learned how to break through whichever ways I feel blocked… and it’ll work again and again. As many times as I need it to.
And I don’t have to ever go back to the same stale, harmful cycle.
Do I still have setbacks, feel fear, and get frustrated with myself sometimes because I’m not moving faster?
OF COURSE. But nowhere near to the degree I used to.
Example?
You couldn’t get me to go near “public speaking” of any sort. There was no way I was doing a talk, a presentation, a workshop, a Facebook Live, an interview, a networking event for business. NONE OF IT.
Today, though?
I’ve recorded dozens of YouTube videos spreading awareness in my space.
I’ve run several live workshops, talks, and events for numerous small business and personal development orgs, running them regularly throughout the year.
And it took me just a few months to get from there to here.
Yes, I still feel scared, nervous, or anxious when I do some of those things.
But nowhere near as much.
And NOW I can feel the fear … and DO IT ANYWAY. ✨
