What do I mean when I say, “I help people transform wounds to wisdom and wisdom to superpowers?”

Let’s start with the question…What is a wound?

When you fall and hurt your knee, it hurts, it bleeds, and it then scabs over. In time, it heals, and most often, we forget all about it as the body has this incredible ability to heal, and the mind moves on. But sometimes the wounds are much bigger and deeper; sometimes the body cannot completely heal, and we are left with a scar. The scar reminds us of the time we fell and hurt our knees. Even more so, we remember the times it hurt the most. However, sometimes, the mind will forget the event completely.

When I speak about wounds, I am, however, not talking about physical wounds but emotional wounds. In some ways, they are similar. When our feelings get hurt, we might “feel” emotionally wounded for a few days, perhaps months, or years, but eventually, time heals most wounds. 

We forgive, make amends, and we move forward. However, some wounds leave emotional wounds and eventually scars, and some even leave lasting trauma. If the trauma is life-threatening, we sometimes even block those memories out completely. This is a protection mechanism that is hardwired into us subconsciously in order to survive….and move forward.

And we do move forward.. However,  sometimes “buried” emotional wounds can leave emotional scars that can then affect the rest of our lives and sometimes affect us without us even knowing it. 

These emotional wounds can affect our relationships personally and professionally on the conscious and subconscious levels….running in the background and sabotaging the life that we truly want to create.

When we are truly ready to heal, our mind/body/spirit will allow us to remember and become aware of the wounds that have been under the surface, or what some call “in the shadows of the psyche.” 

When we are genuinely ready to listen to these wounds, we choose to become aware of what our wounds are.

Why are they there?

Where did they come from, and what do they want to share with us?…

With awareness, support, and a whole lot of self-love, we can truly begin our healing journey.

It is usually when we find ourselves stuck in an ongoing pattern that we become aware that there may be a wound that needs healing.

I am personally a firm believer that we can turn these emotional scars, or “wounds,” into our greatest strengths. I believe this because not only have I done it for myself, but I have also helped support my clients in moving from wounds to wisdom and wisdom to superpowers.

I had a client who hated to cook. She always ate out. She also had a fear of fire and would feel overwhelming anxiety when children were in the kitchen.

When she was a baby, she was burned quite badly when her mom was cooking. However, she had not made this connection until working with me. She realized that her dislike and fear, which had been with her for years, had been subconsciously running in the background for most of her life. She was quite surprised that it did not even occur to her that this was an issue until the day she decided she wanted to cook.

The first step is always awareness. And then there is the choice to want to work through it. Whatever the “Block” may be….the body, mind, and spirit want to protect you so it will remember when it feels safe to consciously recognize and move through it.

After years of eating out, she decided that she really wanted to learn to cook. With my help and support, she moved through this block and now not only loves to cook but is really good at it. She said to me that because of the wound, she is very aware and safe when using fire in all aspects.

She did feel anxiety, fear, and many emotions came up however, she was able to move through these emotions and blocks successfully with support and encouragement.

She has the potential to be one of the best cooks on the planet if she wants to be. She respects the element of fire and uses healthy caution to keep herself and others safe when cooking. 

When you befriend your fear and master it instead of allowing it to master you…You can harness this energy in a powerful way that builds confidence. This confidence then creates passion, determination, and resilience, and your conscious creative ability to manifest your most abundant life starts to really take flight. 

You can apply this analogy to everything—relationships with people, money, sex, and your relationship with yourself.

I have one more example, and this is my own story…

Over 25 years ago, I manifested my husband as I wanted my true love/soulmate/life partner, and I manifested him very quickly! However, the very thing I wanted most also scared me the most, and so I had some very big wounds to protect. I told him I would never marry him and I would never have children. Because of my wounds, I put out a tough exterior protection energy of Independence and strength that actually was pushing away the very life I wanted. 

My childhood experience was full of unhappy marriages and traumatic divorce stories. My father and mother went through an unhappy marriage and an ugly divorce, and so did both sets of aunts and uncles that were dear to me, and so what I grew up with was the damage and wounds of watching unhealthy love and marriages fail. These deep wounds definitely affected me, but eventually, they became my wisdom and my superpowers….

I married this man, and he is the love of my life. We have been together since 1998, happily married, and have two beautiful children. I love being married and being a mom. I now work with people to help them not only manifest their dream partner but also how to a healthy relationship. 

My wounds made me super aware of not getting into an unhealthy relationship and very discerning. The scars also protected me in that I took things slow and made sure to move at a healthy pace. The wounds also inspired me to work on myself. I took classes and workshops, read books, worked with many therapists and coaches, and many deep dives into my healing journey, and learned how to love myself. My wounds keep me aware and sharp and encourage me to know as much as I can about how to make a marriage work. What I went through made me hypervigilant about making sure I did everything I could to make my marriage and parenting as successful as possible. 

Because of my wounds, I have become a better person. Because of my ability to feel and listen to the wisdom of my wounds, I have been able to turn them into my greatest strengths and assets and transform them into my superpowers. 

Because I know how to do this for myself and know exactly how it works I can now help others. 

If you would like support in transforming your wounds into wisdom and your wisdom into your superpowers, so you can manifest a life of your wildest dreams, please get in touch. I would love to work with you!

Love and Abundant Blessing
