I learned that merely surviving is no way to live. In hindsight now in my 40's I see I needed therapy to help me make sense of the past and additionally that I was not equipped at the age of 22 to make a decision regarding a potential spouse in dating. Having zero boundaries, self worth, confidence or self love, these childhood /youth deficits clouded what I believed I was worthy of, lacking boundaries and a clear view of what real healthy love looked like. Through concerted steps in personal development and recovery I put my visionary skills to work and began actively creating the life I wanted. I no longer wanted to be plagued by overwhelming trauma, low confidence, negative self talk, lacking boundaries, anxiety, depression and unrealized abandoned goals predominantly due to my dire circumstances. I no longer wanted to cry in my pillow which I dare say had sadly become an almost daily occurrence.

​What I did want was a beautiful life I could be proud of and thrive not just survive. I wanted to inspire other women and men struggling post abuse that wanted to know the steps to take to live well. I initially started my blog and website gracepowerstrength.com to share my story regarding my struggle and healing from emotional trauma.  My website quickly grew into a huge following of over a million views worldwide. Sharing my experiences led me to start a coaching business that gives clients clarity, validation and strategies to help them move forward empowered.



​Life Moving Forward ... Moving forward is for everyone. Having dated post divorce and enjoying being single I truly believe aligned values and timing is everything in regards to a healthy partner one day and we are called to lean into our singleness and make the most of our personal growth during that time. My mom is a blessing and my best friend and I feel so blessed to have so much support in my life and amazing clients.


​
The emotional trauma I endured over my lifetime was horrific and I wish it had never happened. In my healing process and personal growth I now know who I am despite the gas-lighting; kind, nurturing, positive and hopeful. I personally am able to have joy in Him despite so much endured and knowing He has been with me every step of the way. I have gained insight into who I am and now hold tightly to my self worth knowing I am worth more anything negatively said or done toward me. I would say to you today to remember you are worth so much more than what you've been through.
10 General Tips To Help Live Well
Post Unhealthy Relationships: 

1.) Keeping boundaries in place with unhealthy / or high conflict ex's, go no contact if no children are shared. 

2.) Keeping the communication you have with your ex non-emotional in shared parenting to not give them any supply to their ego and keep your side "clean". 

3.) Going no contact with those who have shown through their actions they are a threat to our mental health even if they are family. 

4.) Ensuring we are having open loving communication with our children so they feel heard and understood. 

5.) Practicing mindfulness to stay grounded and living present while learning from the past and healing our trauma though boundary work,  self love & more. 

6.) Putting into action making healthy choices that translate to self care such as eating healthy, exercise, enjoying nature and relaxing. 

7.) Finding online support for healing from narcissistic abuse and friends in real life who can relate or at least have empathy. 

8.) Living life to the fullest, creating and meeting new goals, living new experiences or taking up old hobbies we once enjoyed. 

9.) Stopping to smell the roses and enjoy the little things: fresh cut or store bought flowers, scented candles, a good book, taking photos etc. 

​10.) Maintaining our finances well, going back to school or finding new ways to earn more if finances are limited.
