My Life Story

I am…
 … a wife, a cat mom, a friend, a daughter, and a sister …
 … a reader and lover of psychology and the understanding of human behaviour, a conqueror of dreams and a seeker of truth and peace …

… A student of A Course of Miracles – UCDM, and participant of the YOSOY consciousness network led by Matías de Stefano, from whom I continue to learn.
I welcome you to my life story and invite you to have a coffee with me.

I grew up in a small farming community in Colombia. I left my country home to get a degree in industrial engineering, based on need rather than natural passion. Fate led me to pursue a banking career in Colombia, where I obtained accelerated promotions and reached prestigious positions. 

During this time, I created a bubble where from the outside, everything looked amazing, and all the boxes were checked: good job title, money, power, a stable relationship, and busy social life. But no heart in it !! I learned to please people and to behave as expected. Life was about other people’s priorities and getting a check to pay my bills. He lived according to social expectations; However, deep down, I felt ashamed and guilty because instead of feeling grateful for all that life had to offer, I felt incredibly disconnected and inappropriate. It was a life without meaning, but I confess, difficult to stop it.

TThe sudden death of my brother, when he was only 33 years old, deeply moved and shook me; I realized that life is fragile and has its limits. And then I found myself searching for the meaning of my life. Existential questions came in, and it was hard to ignore them. What if it had been me? Would I say goodbye calmly and feel proud of my legacy for this life? Why did I feel so overwhelmed and without enjoyment, so empty?
Soon after, I decided to pursue my dream of learning English and decided to come to Australia. I went back to working in banking, interacting with people on a financial level. And I found myself back in this game. I felt disconnected and empty again !!And I realized that it is useless to change your master if you are still a dog!
My life’s journey improves every time I dare to step out of my comfort zone. I feel like I have died many times in this life, but I have been reborn, and I have grown each time. As Joseph Campbell said: “You must give up the life you planned to have the life that awaits you.”

My first rebirth was when I moved from my rural home to live in a city. I used to miss the warmth of my loving parents and my farm and country life. However, as Paulo Cohelo says, A ship is safer in port, but it was not built for that.
It was again when I decided to live in a foreign country !! Such a powerful experience that I am faced with “Who am I? I remember when I arrived, without any English. I was a” Bank Manager “in Colombia, and in Australia, I felt like nobody, just because I didn’t speak the language.
Later, I got married, but I also got divorced. I went from being in love to feeling betrayed and heartbroken. An emotional roller coaster that helped me shake off many beliefs about love and fairy tales. This pain led me to seek help and discover myself.

Then when I gave up my titles on the corporate ladder and stepped out of my “bubble” to connect with the passion in my heart. This has been one of the most painful psychological deaths. I realized how I had based my life on a title and a position and had disconnected from my essence and who I am. And in the middle of my search, I finally found where my soul dances, sings and shines. So, I started studying again and answering the call to my life purpose.
It was time to embark on a new adventure. After several years in the Australian banking industry, I realised where my passion lay and began to investigate how I could use my experience, but more importantly, how to develop my natural strengths in an area where I felt that I was aligned with my gift of listening and sharing wisdom and with who I am and my passion! My passion is helping you get rid of your fears and transform your life!
My passion is to connect with your heart and help you give it a voice and vote so that you start creating the life you have dreamed of and that you deserve so much!

With an inherent interest in psychology and my curiosity to know about human behaviour, after my undergraduate degree in engineering and my postgraduate specialization in project management, I have studied and participated in many modes of holistic therapy. Today, I am certified in Art Therapy, Holistic Counseling and Life Coach. In addition, I have done Reiki training, Neuro-Linguistic Programming – NLP, Kundalini meditation, Focusing and more.
I confess I am a great admirer of people if they are the way they are, genuine. However, we are living in a society where conditions and expectations have led us to disconnect from ourselves and do what is supposed to be done, ceasing to be.

This is why I confess; I am fascinated with the Art therapy application because it has an innovative approach that allows you to enter the intimacy of your subconscious to identify your beliefs and patterns that take you away from your essence, forgetting that the privilege of life is to be yourself. It is a tool that allows you to return to your centre and connects you with your divinity to help you live from the inside out wearing your best dress, your unique brand and originality. Your authenticity!
