I spent the first 22-23 years of my life becoming a highly skilled empath as I developed Complex-PTSD in an abusive home. As a result I was dealing with multiple stress related health issues, including hypothyroid and hypo-adrenia, resulting in extreme fatigue and inability to build muscle.

Do you know how being an empath effects health and fitness?

What is your experience around sex/sexuality? It is such a taboo topic. A charged topic. Governments and religions have attempted to control it in civilized nations for thousands of years.

I believe Christian’s overemphasize our separateness from God/Source/Creator. I realize this is usually in an attempt to not “steal glory from God” … Continue reading Don’t Shrink

This quote right here explains so much about what I have been experiencing the last 2 years and why I feel like my life (and I) have been changing to the point of being unrecognizable to my previous self.
