My Journey from Brokenness to Power, Purpose and Impact
There I was, standing at the bathroom sink, performing my usual routine of washing the makeup off my face, face-to-face with my reflection as I washed away the day’s mask. But it was more than makeup that spiraled down the drain; it was layers of unspoken sadness and pain. I stared at the woman in the mirror — a stranger cloaked in despair.
Each stroke washed away the makeup and unveiled a more profound truth I had been masking. I stared at the woman in the mirror and saw the bare skeleton of the woman I once was. I asked myself, “How did I get here?” “Natalie, what happened?” a kaleidoscope of pain flashed before my eyes. Memories of miscarriages filled me with unspeakable grief for the babies I never got to hold. My heart ached with the hurt and anger from enduring a toxic relationship that was breaking me down. The more these memories surfaced, the more overwhelming the pain became until it was too much to bear; I had to shut it down. I rolled my shoulder back, forced a smile, and told myself I was a strong woman and would be ok.
Six months later, fate dealt its hand, and I found myself in a hospital bed and had difficulty moving the right side of my body. The doctors feed the worst. I was scared and wondered about what was going to happen to my baby girl at home and my family. Tears trickled down my face, and fear gripped my heart. Before I knew it — a prayer chain began, and hearts and voices lifted me to the heavens. Within an hour, a miracle happened- feeling returned to my limbs, the scans came back clear, and the doctors were in disbelief. I was so grateful because I was given a second chance at life, and with it, a fire was lit within me — a burning quest to find the antidote to mental, emotional, and even physical stress.
That fire led me to delve deep into the teachings of the finest thought leaders across various realms — self-empowerment, mental health, psychology, faith, and neuroscience. I knew I had solved the puzzle. I found the secret formula to heal you from emotional, mental, and spiritual turmoil, and the wonderful thing was that I was applying everything I was learning and was getting results. However, my environment was toxic and distracted me from my quest. So, one day, I was having a pity party and upset. In frustration, I fell on my knees and started crying, and I asked the question, “Why are so many bad things happening to me?” I am not a bad person. I am a good person and don’t deserve to go through everything I was going through.” Suddenly, a sense of peace came over me. Then my mind lit up, and divine wisdom flooded through me,” I trust you to go through this journey; all you have been through was to equip you to help others because you have been through so many struggles, and you can relate to them. You have the tools to help others.” I froze in amazement, and then I felt excitement. A smile emerged because what I discovered would make a difference in someone’s life.
