Today is my 36th birthday and I have been waiting for this moment for some time now. The moment when I would share my truth, my Story, with you in full vulnerability and transparency.

When I think about heading into my late 30's and all that I have achieved in the last year, I see a woman who is paving the way for so many women to speak their truth and feel safe as they do it. A woman who has spent the last 35 years making tracks for this chapter in her life.

Everything that happens in our lifetime happens not to us, but for us. As a case in point, this episode is my personal life story. One of pain and trauma, abandonment and long-time self-abuse. One day not so long ago, I woke up to how much my wounds were running my life and I decided to do something about it. I quit my decade long career in fashion, which summed up a life of unworthiness, and I stepped into healing myself so I could heal others. I dug up deep wounds and tossed them all out in front of me, until I got so uncomfortable with them, I had no choice but to become at ease and at peace. And so I did. And so can you.

This episode is my story, which I'm sharing for the first time ever with you so that you can see how similar we really are. I recognize myself in your pain and in your desire to know love. To know safety and support. Chic is to know suffering and pain, and transform it into our life lessons, personal wisdom, and greatest gifts because we are all worthy of living a life fulfilled.
