Following the devastating loss of my partner in my early 20s, I was constantly in search of something or someone to lift me up and bring happiness into my life. It took years of setbacks, heartbreaks, and a defeated spirit for me to understand that everything I was in search of needed to be unlocked from within. Crystals were my gateway into self-improvement and spirituality, but I had to ignore their "meanings" and develop my own methods for using them in order to actually witness their magic. Over the past 10 years, I've grown from succumbing to self-doubt and accepting less than I deserve to being crystal clear on my values, strengths, and purpose in life. Through a commitment to self-discovery and spiritual growth, I've manifested a life I adore: confidence, a healthy inner narrative, a purpose-driven business, a beautiful family, and most importantly an unwavering relationship with God—who put it in my spirit to help illuminate the path for others, because we all deserve to live a life rooted in love and happiness.
