As I sit here to reflect on the past year, the word that resonates within me is "transformation." 2020 was a year that brought unexpected change and disappointment to many. Instead of dwelling on what could have been, I chose to focus on how I responded to those challenges and the personal growth I experienced. Personally, I found myself living in a cocoon, consumed by a stressful routine and striving to meet the expectations of others. It was a life that left me feeling unhappy and disconnected from my authentic self. However, the unexpected halt caused by the COVID-19 pandemic provided me with the opportunity to break free from this cycle.

A Journey Inwards:

Amidst the chaos, I realized that I needed to go inwards. Over the past couple of years, I had already embarked on the path of mindset work and reconnecting with my spirituality, but I still wore a mask, afraid of being rejected for my true self. The pause forced upon the world allowed me to take the time to delve into self-discovery, healing, and growth. Journaling, meditation, and shadow work became integral parts of my daily routine. Although this journey of self-focus led to a temporary strain on some relationships, I knew it was essential for my personal evolution.

Saying "Yes" to Myself:

During this transformative process, I made the conscious decision to prioritize my mental well-being. I learned to set boundaries without guilt and began saying no to things that didn't align with my desires and values. Trusting my intuition became paramount, and I found solace in taking time for self-care and nurturing my mind, body, and soul. If I ever felt misaligned, I understood the importance of regaining my centre.

The Metamorphosis:

Just like a caterpillar emerges as a butterfly, I too experienced a remarkable transformation. My energy vibration shifted, attracting new opportunities, open doors, and kindred spirits into my life. I embraced each opportunity with an open mind and heart, no longer afraid to embrace the possibilities before me. For the first time, I recognized my worth, not through external validation but through self-acceptance and self-love.

The Word for 2021: Growth

As I enter 2021, I choose the word "growth" to guide me on this continued journey. The previous year served as a foundation for personal and professional growth, as I invested immense effort into planting the seeds of possibility. Now, I eagerly anticipate witnessing the fruits of my labour, knowing that everything unfolds in divine timing. Patience becomes a virtue as I nurture my dreams and allow them to bloom.

Gratitude and Appreciation:

Rather than focusing on achievements or painful experiences, I choose to leave 2020 with a profound sense of gratitude. I am grateful for the gift of time that allowed me to heal and grow. My close loved ones, especially my husband and children, served as steadfast anchors, providing unwavering support throughout my transformation. I am immensely grateful for the many incredible souls I encountered throughout the year, their non-judgmental support, and the valuable lessons they imparted to me. Gratitude also extends to the basic necessities—having a roof over my head, food on the table, and even the availability of toilet paper—a reminder of life's simple blessings.

Embracing 2021:

As the door to 2021 opens, I step forward with a heart full of gratitude, an open mind, and a spirit that seeks nurturing and growth. I encourage each of you to embark on your own magical journey of self-discovery and transformation. Embrace the power within you and trust the process, for it is through these experiences that we find our true selves and create a life of love, success, and happiness.

If my personal journey resonates with you and you're ready to embark on your own path of self-discovery and healing, I invite you to join my upcoming workshop, "Journaling to Find Yourself." This self-study class is designed to teach you why journaling is the most powerful tool for supporting your self-development journey and how you can implement it to:

  • Understand the distinction between journaling and keeping a diary

  • Identify the triggers that are keeping you stuck and learn how to heal from them

  • Recognize and break free from repetitive patterns and cycles in your life

  • Use journaling as an emotional tool to address negative emotions and develop lifelong skills for emotional well-being

  • Strengthen your connection with intuition and allow it to guide you through life's challenges

  • Release negative beliefs and make room for positive change in your life

By embracing the practice of journaling and participating in the Journaling to Find Yourself Workshop, you'll gain the tools and understanding necessary to unlock your full potential and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery. Together, let us embrace growth, cultivate gratitude, and create a magical entry into the year ahead.

Love and healing,

Olá! I’m a Ligia, a Trauma Informed Self-Healing Teacher, Journaling Therapist and Soul Calling Reader.

As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) myself, I understand the profound depth at which you experience life. My sensitivity has been both a gift and a challenge, intensifying the impact of childhood trauma and shaping my journey of self-discovery and healing.

I work with Highly Sensitive Souls who desire to heal past wounds and embark on their own self-healing journey. Together, we will rediscover who you are at a soul level, remember your truth, and reconnect with your sensitivity and soul’s calling.

I am the Founder and creator of the T.R.U.S.T™ Pathway, a transformative methodology designed to help you move from being wounded to becoming a cycle breaker. Through this pathway, you will heal imprinted ancestral, societal, and childhood conditioning, live an abundantly aligned life, and break the lineage cycle of pain, trauma, and abuse for future generations.

My unique approach combines my life experience, clairvoyance ability, inherent sensitivity and trauma-informed healing. I believe that true healing happens by befriending your shadows, not disowning them. This trauma-informed perspective ensures that we address the root causes of your pain with compassion and understanding, creating a safe space for your healing journey.

As a survivor of childhood abuse, bullying, depression, and anxiety, I know firsthand the struggles of feeling lost, lonely, and disconnected from life. My sensitivity made these experiences even more intense, but it also equipped me with a deep understanding of the healing process. I also understand the fear of the unhealthy footprints that our experiences can leave on our children.

It is my life's mission to heal myself and to help inspire others to end the cycle of trauma and pain with them. By sharing my journey and guiding you through yours, I hope to create a ripple effect of healing and transformation.

Know that I believe you. I hear you. I see you. And I'm here to help you find your own power to self-heal and embrace your sensitivity.

My podcast, The Soulcery Podcast, supports and inspires people to be their own healers and connect with their souls.
