Pain tells us where we need to pay attention.

Unless we address the pain from the past, we will only recycle it in the present. There's no way I could have predicted that sharing my deepest, darkest trauma would unlock more love, purpose, and abundance in my life than I had ever experienced before. But that's just what happened.

You and I were not put on this earth to eke out a less-than-extraordinary existence. We weren't born to fit in; we were meant to stand out. And to do this, we've got to go inward. To fully know ourselves, we have to learn to love and respect who we are and who we've become because of what happened to us.

And this process of letting love in is how we heal. It's what I learned in my journey and what I hope you learn, too. Trust me when I tell you: it's worth it.
