My story
My story has been somewhat chaotic. I am from Denmark and longed for an exciting life. I wanted to explore the world and live in different countries. So I did. I have met many beautiful people along the way, and with every step, I grew closer to my authentic self and my dream life.
I am a former people pleaser who took care of my 12 younger cousins since I was 10 years old, being the oldest of the clan. My family is from the countryside, and my parents were the first to move to Copenhagen and have a higher education. So throughout my life, I feel like I am drawn to city life but also love the countryside, reminding me of my lovely, warm, and wholesome family.
However, as much as I love my family, I never felt I belonged where they did. I realized early on that I wanted a very different life from theirs. But it was hard to find the way when the life you are searching for has not been paved for you. I had to pave my own way in the dark. But I knew in my bones I needed to follow the voice of my inner child, and I would find out where I belonged.
"My inner child was my saving grace"
My conversations with my inner child have been my saving grace when I have gone through hardships. I have had a lot of dark times in my life, such as being homeless, having burnout for years, living on minimum wage, astronomical rent, living paycheck to paycheck, failing to feed myself or pay all my bills, struggling with toxic and abusive relationships, struggling with depression and anxiety and doubting my sexuality late in life.
It's been a long journey so far with decades of hurt and hardships. I would not be here today if I had not had conversations with my inner child. She saved me many times, letting me know it is okay to have human emotions and feel them, so I could eventually let them go and focus on a brighter future.
I realized what a gift it was to have such a beautiful tool that helped me in the darkest period of my life. So, I wanted to share this tool with the world, so someone out there could climb out of a deep hole of darkness and pull themselves up and see what beauty lies around the corner when they decide they are ready for it.
I believe that your inner child does not shy away from the hard truths in your current or past life. You are forced to deal with it. But what is very unexpected is the feeling of peace and freedom that comes next. You finally feel light because you have come to terms with the bad things that happened to you in the past. You do not let it define you anymore, but rather choose to be a better version of yourself, your authentic self, before any traumatic event happened to you. It is a beautiful realization and such a powerful tool, too, because you finally take your power back and let no one else rule your life but you. It is such a beautiful journey to experience, and I want you to experience it too.
