Over the past 6 weeks, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to speak at multiple treatment centres
to share my truth, my story, my heart.
But the very first time I went to Cedars… I completely froze.
I stood there, all eyes on me, and said out loud:
“I have no idea why I said yes to this.”
Then silence.
A full five minutes that felt like a lifetime.
I couldn’t breathe. My heart was racing. My mind blank.
When I finally started again, I was only saying what I could remember—scattered, shaky, trying to hold it together.
So I did something different…
I turned it into a Q&A.
Because I realized—I’m not different than them. I am them.
I sat in those very same chairs 19 months ago.
I’m not above them, I am one of them.
Afterwards, I walked away thinking I’d completely botched it.
But the truth?
It ended up being the most honest and powerful moment yet.
People came up to me saying how much it resonated.
Even the counsellors told me the next day how proud they were—and how deeply it impacted the group.
Still… my mind said, “Never again.”
That I was judged. That I failed.
That voice was loud.
But then—Soma+IQ came into my life.
And everything shifted.
The breathwork, the embodiment, the support of this magical community—it anchored me.
It helped me come back to my body.
It gave me the tools and the courage to own who I am,
To speak my truth without shame,
To share my story as it is.
Now I’ve gone back to Cedars and spoken at three different centres.
Not from a place of perfection but from presence.
From honesty. From healing.
I brag about this community all the time
because it has truly changed my life.
I can’t stop talking about how grateful I am to be on this path.
It’s real. It’s raw. And it’s so worth it.🙏🏼🫶🏼
