The problem:

You are tired of feeling stuck, sad, frustrated or bored and are seeking more out of life. You are so ready to burst through what is holding you back so you can finally live the purpose you know is meant for you and maybe smiling with authentic deep joy again would be great too.

But…

You’re not sure where to even begin and it seems as if nothing else has worked before.

You likely have worried…

The very thought of these worries bubbles up overwhelm inside and leaves you in heavy confusion.

I have been there too and I am here to help get you to where you want to be, not what you are settling for.

Hi, I’m Mandi

And I may have the answer for you.

Professionally, I am a trained teacher, speaker and leader holding diverse degrees and for the past two decades have been helping others in all different settings, from various backgrounds, ages, races, religions, (you name it), rise out of the ruins they are in.

Teaching others how to navigate their way out of trauma, pain and loss and transforming it into a meaningful, joyful and purposeful life is what the good stuff is all about for me.

But at one point I didn’t always feel this way.  Avoiding my own pain and trauma and masking it with perfectionism, performance, and endless people-pleasing.  I tied my worth to the outcome because all I wanted was to be loved.  To love myself.  And to love my life. But I didn’t because I was scared to face my fears and hurts. I didn’t see a way out.

And then, as life would have it, I lost everything (read my story here).  

I had to learn firsthand the things I unintentionally naively was teaching to others.  There was a lot of trial and error.  Many days I wanted to give up and doubted things could ever get any better.  I had no idea what I was doing anymore, even though I was trained to know.  I was confused, overwhelmed, and frightened.

All of the research on google, in classrooms or textbooks you learn, can only do so much until you figure out how to apply it in real-time to your own life.

Things slowly got better.  I eventually healed.  I rose out of my own ruins or the ones others left behind for me…multiple times.  I no longer came from a place of thinking I know how this works to actually knowing for myself what works for me.  

Today I am happier. There is an inner peace inside I never knew.  I still have hard times, anger, and sadness like everyone else, but I bounce back quicker than I used to and know wholeheartedly I am here for a greater purpose.

And that possibility is here for you to discover too.

The Solution you seek:

I will be completely transparent with you. This isn’t going to be an easy process. It will push you to your limits, it may make tears fall down your face or anger boil inside. But it will fill your heart with hope again and help you build your new life one step at a time.

Over the past couple decades I have learned core themes that make the process of rising out of turmoil with a tenacious resiliency not only possible, but completely doable.  I combine research based strategies and professional know how with a delicate, loving, expressive and lived experience approach. To be honest, it takes both to get through journey called life and this place is a space to do just that.

If you want freedom from what holds you back and you are ready to try an experience like no other?

Everyone is different, has gone through different experiences and has different learning styles. Isn’t it great when someone just gets you? I believe the best transformational experiences combine not only grasping new information but carefully building on the pillars of

creativity and expression, experiential practices and purposeful integrations.

This variety allows many areas of the brain to create an abundance of new pathways and possibilities to not only help you believe again but finally make it to the other side of healing. All blog posts, guidebooks and courses are designed with these principals in mind with each experience layering onto the process of change. The below courses and discovery experiences are designed to help you do one or all of the following:

Have you played in the many letters, poems, quotes, blog posts yet? Good. Have you explored one of the free guides to see if this is your jam? No? Ok…head here and try it on for size.

If you are like me you may value or hope for the same things deep down

• life holds a certain magical whimsy to it even though at times it can be cruel and unfair

• the immense beauty, good and potential in this world is all around us and the option is always available for a better way

• the knowing that we are all connected in many ways to each other and our world and hold an innate desire to hope

• that our pain and biggest challenges usually turn out to be the thing that brings the most change and growth to our lives

• that kindness, compassion, mercy and encouragement get us farther and feel way better than shame, guilt and self-hatred

• that healing oneself and building unity is not only possible, but one of the only ways we will help one another survive

Wait…
