Every year, International Women’s Day (IWD) reminds us to celebrate the achievements, resilience, and potential of women worldwide. It’s a day to honor progress, reflect on challenges, and amplify voices that are often silenced. This year, more than ever, it feels like a call to action—a reminder that the power of community, connection, and purpose is essential in healing and transformation.
Finding Purpose Through Intuition
For many of us, life doesn’t always begin on a path aligned with our soul’s calling. I know this deeply because my journey wasn’t always rooted in purpose. I once found myself trapped in a corporate, soul-sucking environment, where anxiety and depression consumed me. My attempts to numb this pain led to addictions and, ultimately, two attempts to end my life. I wrote my dark night of the soul (spiritual awakening memoir) all about this journey here called “Intuition Saved My Life”
But in the depths of despair, I discovered something life-changing: my intuition—the quiet, persistent voice urging me to connect with my soul’s purpose. Developing and following my intuition allowed me to move away from a life of overwork, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, and toward one rooted in love, authenticity, and fulfillment.
This transformation also included breaking free from trauma bonds, especially as an empath navigating relationships with narcissists. I had to release the roles of martyr and over-giver and learn to prioritize self-love over sacrificing myself for the approval of others. And now, my heart’s mission is to help others do the same.
Healing Through Connection and Shared Stories
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It thrives in spaces where we can share our stories and listen to others—a reminder that we are never alone. This belief inspired me to create the **Heart Led Soul Fed Podcast**, a platform for heartfelt conversations about healing, purpose, and growth.
In one of my most impactful episodes, I had the honor of speaking with **Shawn Leonard**, the incredible Indigenous Mi’kmaq Medium, APTN Spirit Talker, Hay House author, and oracle deck creator. Shawn’s wisdom and ability to connect with spirit offer profound inspiration for finding our unique paths of healing and purpose.
This podcast is just one of the many ways I aim to build a community of connection and empowerment.

A Call to Love Yourself
On this International Women’s Day, I want to remind you: You are worthy of love, healing, and joy—not because of what you do for others but because of who you inherently are. It’s time to stop people-pleasing, let go of over-giving, and release perfectionism. This is the season to prioritize yourself, trust your intuition, and embrace the beautiful truth of your soul’s purpose.

If my story resonates with you, or if you feel called to explore any of the spaces I’ve created for healing and growth, I invite you to join this journey. Together, we can break free from what no longer serves us and step into a life of meaning and connection.
Together, we rise.
