From Trauma to Triumph: How I Turned My Pain Into My Purpose

In 2007, I was lost. I weighed over 350 pounds, stuck in an abusive relationship, working at McDonald’s, feeling completely worthless. I hated my job, but at least it kept me moving—kept me from drowning in the feeling that I didn’t matter.

But deep down, I KNEW that wasn’t really me. I wasn’t that broken, beaten-down version of myself.

Then my grandmother, who has since passed, invited me to watch The Secret. She handed me a notebook and told me to write my goals as if they were already achieved. And one of the voices that stood out the most in that film? Dr. John Demartini.

That moment was the first time I truly believed maybe—just maybe—there was more for me.

Fast-Forward to 2025: A Dream Fulfilled

On February 12, 2025, I sat down with Dr. Demartini for an interview on my platform. The man who helped start my journey back to self-worth was now speaking on my show—for FREE. I felt like I was sitting with my grandmother again. It was one of the most surreal moments of my life.

And here’s the thing—I barely even spoke. I was so in awe, so deeply present, that I just listened. But what Dr. Demartini doesn’t know—what I never got to tell him—is that he helped save my life.

The Truth About Trauma: My Wound Became My Gift

For years, I carried the weight of my past—literally and figuratively. The trauma of being raped. The molestation by my own father. The physical and verbal abuse I endured as a child and young adult. I buried it deep, thinking that if I ignored it, I could move on.

But trauma doesn’t just disappear. It stays locked in the body. It keeps you stuck. It convinces you that you’re unworthy of happiness, success, or love.

I had to RELEASE that pain in order to heal—not just so I could keep the weight off for good, but so I could finally step into my purpose.

And now? I see the truth.

The wound is the way.

My trauma, my pain, my darkest moments—they weren’t punishments. They were gifts. They created a void in me, and that void became the foundation for my vision. Now, through I’m Worth It Inc., I help others heal their wounds, create their vision, and empower those around them.

This is exactly what my newest YouTube episode is about. I didn’t go deep into my story on the episode, but I talk about how trauma—when healed—can become the driving force for serving others.

Your Pain Has a Purpose

If you’re reading this and you’re still carrying your past like a weight on your shoulders, I want you to hear me:

💥 You don’t have to stay stuck.
💥 Your pain doesn’t define you.
💥 What happened to you was not your fault—but what you do with it is your power.

If I can take my deepest wounds and turn them into my life’s greatest work, YOU CAN TOO.
