Are you ready to uncover the purpose of your path? In today’s episode, we’re talking about my powerful five-phase Journey Mapping™ process, which I developed over the years to help others on their path towards overcoming their pasts and finding their purpose. I’ll also be opening up on my own experience with trauma - how it cracked me so far open that pieces of me went missing, and how I rose up and came back.

What is Journey Mapping™?

What can Journey Mapping™ do for you?

“Understanding this powerful process is going to allow you to have a clear understanding of the journey that you are currently walking and where you are inside of it, as well as what you need to develop to move through each stage.

It's what will allow you to rise up and come back in the aftermath of your own challenging chapters and big life transitions, uncovering the purpose of your path and making the impossible happen for yourself. This process really allows you to get clear on what comes next for you, your life, your work, and your relationship, and you'll see it further modeled for you and all of the interviews that we're sharing.”

What is The Call of The Void?

“It's that common urge arising within perfectly sane and healthy individuals who have no desire to die, to leap off the edge of a cliff. The void is the inner gateway, the initiation, the path into deeper connection, peace, inspiration, love, purpose, intuition, and source, whatever those things mean to us individually.”

My first experience with the void

The calm of slipping and falling through the void

Feeling connected to something greater than myself

Repeating this experience over the years and how this allowed me to create tremendous shifts in my business and my life

My ex-boyfriend’s decision to take his own life and how the trauma of this event cracked me so far open pieces of me went missing - some of them permanently.

“The trauma of this loss broke me also, literally over the following months, my brain began deteriorating rapidly to the point that I couldn't put my own life story in order, let alone remember what I did the day before. I would sit in front of my computer and just cry because I couldn't remember half the clients on my list, nor could I remember how to build websites anymore, something I had been doing for years. I would drive in circles around my house because each time it took me to lap the block I would forget that I was going home.”

Contacting a friend and mentor for a healing session

Getting my brain back and learning more about this type of process work

“I learned that this particular type of process work worked with the concept of the void, the idea that all the good stuff we're seeking exists just beyond this pocket of nothingness, that terrifying space of unknown darkness and death we're often too afraid to explore. And we're too afraid because it can feel like we're actually dying. And it's only by moving through this pocket that we can connect with what we're seeking, truth, peace, love, purpose, trust, faith source, and divine wisdom.

I became obsessed with this concept of dropping through the void because in my life personally, it's proven to be everything in creating what I desire and healing and finding wholeness and uncovering my purpose and knowing who I am and who I'm becoming. The void is terrifying and magical and the gateway to everything amazing.”

Discovering the hero’s journey

“I was also introduced to the hero's journey while doing research on how to write my memoir Unravel. The hero's journey began to serve as a framework for how to truly rise up and come back from the most awful heartbreaking chapter of my life. It was a missing piece. I needed to finally pull myself out of the grips of grief to do the healing work and to understand the purpose of the path I was walking.”
