From Healing to Heart: Sharing what I've Learned on the Journey


 Healing is a journey I’ve been on for years — as a mother, a coach, and a wholistic practitioner. Along the way, I’ve learned how emotional awareness, self-reflection, and intentional living can transform how we relate to ourselves and others.


Heart of Hadar is the space where I share these reflections, guidance, and insights — not as answers, but as invitations to pause, reflect, and create in your own life. I personally believed that "being healed" was an easy destination-Oh was I wrong! This is a life-long journey. There is always room for improvement in some area of our lives.

Healing has always been more than a process-It's a conversation with the heart. A returning to " I AM", the truest and highest version of ourselves. For a log time I aspired to become someone other than myself. I figured that someone better meant someone new- but changing everything about yourself can make this healing journey more grievous than it needs to be. Attempting to become someone new entirely can lead you deep down into the depths of despair.

The goal is not to become a new person, you may become different in many ways-yes, but the objective is to remember- to become so in-tuned with the frequency of creation that every aspect of your being is in full alignment. Where your mind-body-spirit speaks the same language-Peace!

Like most people, my journey has been filled with trauma, self doubt, self loathing, abuse, mistakes and heartbreaks and cycles of lessons that I just wasn't learning fast enough. It wasn't until my last traumatic experience that something inside me clicked and my soul said "enough is enough!". It was at that junction- all the knowledge and wisdom I've been gathering over the years started shouting harsh truths at me.

Accountability took the shape of a hammer and hit me over the head and just like in the cartoons I was laid flat on my back with a bump on my head and stars circling that took the form of words saying "You need to Love yourself, these are YOUR CHOICES!".

Since that encounter with accountability this journey began to take strides, realization of the role I've played in my own suffering forced me to pull my magnifying glass and allow the Holy Spirit to become my microscope. I've become a self taught scientist questioning everything about my own existence, about my past, family history and patterns, the food I eat, the partners and friends I've chosen.

It has all become a science because I was and still am- determined to understand who I am and become consistently and perfectly aligned with my purpose. To take apart what I've learnt, what my environment has conditioned and decipher what roles my inherited DNA had to play in my downfalls and upliftment.

This journey is not for the weak, this journey is not for the faint of heart. This journey requires the practice of resilience. It requires the practice of discipline and self motivation. Notice I've said "practice" because I understand that not everyone starts out having these skills.

Some people are stronger in certain arears than others and in the arears where we are weak-this is where we must practice discipline the most. My mission with this blog is to share with you the tools I've used to elevate and the ones that I am still using today as I continue to grow. One of them being that I started surrounding myself with only like minded individuals who are also on this journey of becoming.

I've learnt a lot from my peers, fellow coaches, spiritual leaders. so many nuggets, so many insights by example of how they live and how they face their own situations navigating this duality of life.

One might ask- "what is this journey and where are we going?" This is an excellent question and one that I've asked multiple times. here's the best answer I've gotten thus far: We've herd about righteousness many times-it has always been synonymous with religious practice especially Christianity.

What if I told you that the root meaning of righteousness in the Hebrew gives the answer to this question of healing and evolution to one's Highest Self- this word Righteousness (tzedek) refers to justice, fairness, rightness and integrity. This is the balance of Life.

A person who is righteous (tzadik) refers to a person who embodies Tzedek (righteousness) and is morally and spiritually upright. Isn't this the goal? To feel in complete alignment with Creator and creation. To do right by others and have them do right by you?

Proverbs 24:16 says that the righteous falls seven times and rises again but the wicked stumble in calamity. Yes it is frustrating at times to keep making mistakes, to keep repeating patterns and cycles, but the righteous are those of us who keep getting back up and doing better every time. It's about learning the lessons whether you learn them fast or slow. It is about determination and an unwavering willingness to pursue the perfect balance.

This journey is filled with falling and getting back up again but the goal is oneness, Peace within. Asking the hard questions and positioning ourselves for the answers and then applying them.

Heart of Hadar is a space for reflection, guidance, and exploration. Here you'll find insights on emotional intelligence, wellness practices, family, relationships, and wholistic self care- all shared from a place of experience and intention.

I invite you to pause, reflect and explore these pages at your own pace. Share your thoughts, insights, or questions. Your journey is unique and every reflection matters.

"Healing begins with the Heart- and every heart has a story."
