Life-Changing Event

So one of the biggest challenges that I have faced in my life is having a really tough childhood. And when you are faced with things at a young age in terms of, you know, an alcoholic parent or feeling like you aren't good enough to actually show up in the world the way you're meant to show up, feeling like you're not smart enough, those were stories that consistently lived inside my mind. And I also come from a family of high achievers. And what was interesting for me is when I turned 35, I got to this point where I was in the corporate office. I had my own office. I had gotten the VP title, and I felt so empty inside. And what I realized in that moment was being a VP in this company wasn't actually allowing me to do what I'm really meant to do in this world, which is to be myself. So for me, I had to go through a bottom. I hit a bottom in my life. And coming out of that bottom, I was like, I don't want to ever be like this again. And the right therapy showed up at that time. It was somatic therapy.
