When I was 44, I “woke up” at the top of my game. I seemingly “had it all,” but boy, I was miserable! For some reason, heading out each day to my high-powered corporate career at a luxury hotel company felt crushing. Being an executive on the Senior Leadership team felt like a trap. My heart felt confined in a little box. My pattern of perfection was exhausting.
At the time, I blamed it all on my boss. He shared with me once that racehorses were meant to be ridden, implying I was that horse. He cracked the whip, yet so many people said we were similar. But still, to me it felt like a clash. I blamed him for smothering me and believed he had no interest in my ideas. Was it my constant push to be better and better or maybe, I was just giving my power away?
In the summer of 2013, desperate for answers in my life, I went to see a psychic. I cried to her (as I had done to many intuitives before), saying, “Help me find my purpose. I must find my purpose.”
She said, “Donna, your spirit guides are spelling it out for me:
S-P-I-R-I-T-U-A-L
P-S-Y-C-H-O-L-O-G-Y.”
I said, “What the hell is Spiritual Psychology?”
And, it was that question that led me on a journey of personal transformation that changed many, MANY things in my life - all from the inside out.
It was through that journey I discovered my authentic personal power, deep self-trust, inner freedom, real self-love and deep acceptance for the epic journey we make as spiritual Beings on a human adventure.
Once I started to actually look at and face my fears, I began to learn that I am so much more than what I’ve been taught to believe. I became empowered from an authentic place inside of myself which powered the courage that was required to successfully transition from my old life in the corporate world as a marketing executive and transform my epic human adventure for the better in so many ways.
I reclaimed my aliveness, started living with clear intention, began feeling on purpose in a new mission-driven career in the middle of my life. I started loving all of me and shining my light out into the world with a deep trust of my true expression and the inner freedom breathing life back into me.
