Years ago, there was a time in which I was enduring many difficulties in my personal life.

I was met with different obstacles, primarily in my relationships with others--and also my relationship with myself.

I would describe that relationship as complicated, to say the least.

I would look in the mirror and think, "I'm not good enough. I'm too tall. My hair is not up to par. My skin is too fair..." and the list goes on.

Even though I felt like I was good at what I did--which for me, was music and playing the organ--I always felt like I wasn't good enough.

At times, comparison stole so much joy from me, as I wouldn't play music when invited sometimes.

I was good at work as a manager, supervisor, assistant vice president--but again, I felt like I just wasn't good enough.

I lacked confidence and always stayed behind the scenes. I wouldn't ever go to the front.

That "not good enough" feeling transferred into other areas of my life too.

I was in a marriage that became abusive---physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Day after day, I lived in an oppressive environment, and I felt I had to repress who I really am.

I wasn't good enough to be loved--by my partner, or anyone else for that matter.

I felt like I just didn't "fit." I remember feeling like I never fit in.

Have you ever felt that way?

But my turning point finally came. I had to reach my breaking point after years of enduring abuse at home and all the other obstacles I was facing.

I found the strength to pack my husband's things and told him he had to go. I stood up for myself. I took charge. I still had to raise three children. I wanted to raise them right--with morals and values. I was raised to be strong, and for the first time in a long time, I was walking in that.

It was at that moment, I found my voice, and was able to empower my inner soul.

Through empowerment and prayer, I was able to overcome the obstacles that were ahead.

Some time later, God allowed me to experience a renewed sense of confidence, self-love, and introduced me to my new husband who loves me with his whole heart.

Since then, whenever I communicated with others, I found myself encouraging them naturally. I loved to show them how they could push through whatever they were going through at any given moment.

That's when it hit me, this is something that I should be doing. Helping others to overcome obstacles in their life, helping them live the best they can daily, and helping them understand that they matter. I helped them empower their inner soul.

And that is exactly what we do through Inner Soul Empowerment.

Through Positive Habits and Overcoming Adversities we support you in reaching self-confidence, stress management and improved relationships.

So that you no longer have to dim your light or repress who you believe God is calling you to be. You've heard my story--now if your soul is in need of some inner empowerment, I would love to hear yours.
