When My Biggest Struggle Turned Into a Passion

It is no exaggeration to say that every struggle we face offers a great opportunity for healing and growth.

Amid discomfort and pain, especially during challenging times, we can discover the strength to improve our lives and find new directions.

If I hadn’t experienced a devastating emotional crisis ten years ago, I would never have been motivated to look within myself and invest in personal development and spirituality.

Quite the contrary, I would have likely become lost in the distractions of the world and the chaos of my mind.

Fortunately, my soul had better plans for me.

To free myself from the unnerving symptoms of anxiety and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), I dedicated the past decade to psychotherapy, self-help, and consciousness expansion.

What began as just a time for emotional healing has blossomed into one of the most rewarding phases of my life—a fulfilling career transition.

Now, as I study psychotherapy and pour my heart into this blog, my greatest joy is to share everything I’ve learned throughout this journey to help you on your own path.

✍️ With each new post, I give you another lead to this path that has brought me my greatest wealth:

  • 🌸 Emotional healing
  • 🌟 Clarity
  • 🕊️ Inner peace
  • Self-confidence
  • 🌈 Authenticity
  • 💖 Fulfillment

🎯 These are the milestones I’ve reached so far, and I wish the same for each of you who reads Soul & Suitcase!
