If I Can Do It, So Can You

For a long time, I didn’t understand what was happening within me. I carried an invisible weight – shaped by trauma, by experiences that left me frozen and disconnected from myself and the world.

There were years when I moved through life in a kind of fog, doing what was expected, but feeling far from truly alive. My body knew something I couldn’t yet name – it was asking for pause, for presence, for healing.

It took time. It took support. It took remembering that I didn’t have to walk this path alone. Slowly, I began to thaw, to listen, to feel.

This journey shaped me into who I am today – not in spite of the pain, but through it. And now, I hold space for others who are finding their way home, gently, in their own rhythm.

My Story – From Survival to Embodied Living

From the outside, it looked like I had made it. I had climbed the corporate ladder fast, leading global teams in a high-level role. I was seen as smart, strategic, successful. But inside? I was barely holding it together.

The truth is: I was in survival mode. I was performing, but not really living. I felt numb, disconnected, and exhausted. And while my title sounded impressive, the income didn’t reflect the pressure I was under. Success looked better on paper than it felt in my body.

This wasn’t my first chapter in entrepreneurship. I had tried running my own business before—and failed. Then came a painful breakup that cracked everything open. That crisis became a turning point. I realized: I don’t want to just survive anymore. I want to feel. To live. To come home to myself.

So I quit. I walked away from the version of success that left me empty. I started healing. I learned to listen to my body. I reconnected with my truth. I began to rebuild from the ground up—this time rooted in presence, not pressure.

From that place, The Golden Ground was born.

Now, I guide people who’ve lost themselves in the noise of life—back into connection, clarity, and deep self-trust. I help them move from survival into embodied leadership. Through grounding, somatic work, and soul-centered coaching.

Because real success starts within.
