I must have fell asleep trying to post this video last night 😂 😆 Today marks the final countdown to embracing transformation! Whether you're ready or not, take a leap of faith and own this new chapter. Your authenticity is your superpower - don't let anyone dull your sparkle! Embrace the uncertainty, and remember that growth often feels uncomfortable. You've made it this far, and that's something to be proud of! Keep pushing boundaries, and never lose faith in yourself. You got this! I watched this cool anime movie about pop group who fought off demons with their beautiful voices and positive lyrics with my little God daughter yesterday & In this weird way, it resonated with my own story about losing my own voice for 3 years a week before my first tour with one of my biggest mentors, “Sarah Smith” from London, Ontario. That’s another beautiful story for another day, but after losing my brother to suicide 18 years ago, I never thought I’d sing without him again and Sarah was the person who inspired me all over again, just when I thought I’d never look back. Moving forward, My mom took me to a specialist in Toronto after losing my voice and I remember praying all the way there for God not to take the one thing that brought me the most happiness and purpose in life. My mom even gave me the third degree on listening to him if he tells me I can’t sing. When I got there, he starts speaking my language in chakras & root causes and says, “ Kristen, it’s not your singing voice that is the problem, it’s your talking voice. You’re not speaking your truth!” That appointment hit me hard because I have been a people pleaser most of my life and always choosing the wrong relationships & thinking I can fix everyone. This last year really awakened me to a cycle I wasn’t about to start all over again with someone who was very toxic and unhealed and ever since letting him go, I’ve been in a relationship with myself. It’s been one of the most difficult years yet, but I’m grateful for that mean man for reminding me of my worth and breaking a 22 year cycle for once and for all & finally having the resilience and strength to clear generational traumas moving forward.
