Rebuilding Life After Trauma

I am often asked how I’ve been able to rebuild my life after facing trauma The answer is, it’s not easy but if you ’ re willing to put in the time and effort, you can unapologetically create the life you desire. You see, I have had to face many traumas throughout my life, but it’s how I’ve handled them and chosen to live my life that allowed me to rebuild not only my own life but the life I’m building for my children

I have faced many traumas throughout my life that includes being sexually assaulted as a child by a friend, bullied and assaulted by a boy and two girls the second week of junior high, a divorce from my high school sweetheart, leaving a four-year relationship where I endured emotional, verbal, financial, and physically abusive, filing bankruptcy, being laid off from my 16-year corporate job, and then laid off from my second corporate job during COVID.

All of these traumas have impacted me, but I also had to make choices to either allow these traumas to win or for me to take back and rebuild my life.

Please know that I understand that trauma looks different for everyone, but you have the opportunity to decide how it impacts your life. When you are faced with trauma in your life, you are the only one who can decide how you cope, move on, and continue with your life.

I want to assure you that you ’ re not alone when it comes to handling trauma. It’s hard to see the light at first, but when you want to make a change or difference in your life, you’ll figure out a way!

Ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I wanted to create a life that I loved and to provide my children with a home filled with love, laughter, and joy! To continue with this dream that I had, I knew that things had to change, but no one was coming to change anything for me. This is when I took a good look in the mirror and realized that it was now or never! I had to start taking my life back and rebuild myself so that I could provide a beautiful loving home for my children
