My journey began at a very young age, in Coney Island, N.Y. I experienced being guided by an inner teacher; show how to view the world from a spacious place within. I developed a way of seeing without judgment; viewing life with wonder and acceptance. This helped me navigate my rough surroundings, anxiety and fear. As I grew older, the inner voice seemed softer and outer voices got louder. I looked to the outer world for self-value, prosperity and freedom.
In my early twenties, I turned to the greatest symbol of wealth and value, Wall Street. And became a stockbroker in NYC. I then pursued tangible assets as a real estate broker and investor. I developed skills and abilities to make money and manifest homes. I achieved success; marriage, money, manifestations. Yet inwardly, I experienced anxiety, fear, depression. I learned that worldly riches bring a certain type of ease but does not automatically bring self-love, freedom or happiness.
In 2015, I woke up to discover all my liquid assets (many, millions) were gone (22 years of hard work). I was getting divorced and about to be a single mom.
On June 29, 2015, I found myself on the floor, crouched over—saying to God,“Fine, take it. You want him, take him. You want the money, take it, I surrender.” This was the day I returned to my inner guide.
