Is it possible to love again?

A couple sitting close together, with one partner resting their head on the other's shoulder, symbolizing comfort and support in a loving relationship.

In the midst of a cozy afternoon nestled in Puerto Moreles Mexico, I find myself lost in a whimsical daydream with a beautiful soul—my partner. We were eating lunch at a vegan cafe after snorkeling in the national reef park and seeing incredible see life.  It was hard to not find myself lost in a daydream concocting plans for him and I to open up our very own vegan café with swing seats, nestled in a yoga community by the ocean, where endless snorkeling adventures could await. It's a delightful flight of fancy, a playful exploration of what could be. And while the reality of such a venture remains uncertain, the joy lies in the mere act of imagining the possibilities.

As I indulge in these creative musings, my mind inevitably drifts back to my own journey—a path marked by trauma, heartache, and, eventually, profound healing and growth. There was a time when the weight of past wounds clouded my vision, casting a shadow over any semblance of hope or dreams for the future. The thought of daring to dream seemed impossibly out of reach.

But I made a choice—a conscious decision to invest wholeheartedly in myself, my healing, and my growth. It was a journey of inner discipline, resilience, and relentless determination, confronting the demons of trauma with grace and compassion. And through it all, I discovered a reservoir of strength within myself that I never knew existed.


Standing in the present moment, I am acutely aware of the uncertainty that lies ahead. Life's twists and turns are unpredictable, and the path forward may not always be clear. Yet, amidst the uncertainty, there is a profound sense of purpose—a guiding light that illuminates my journey and infuses each step with meaning.


This blog is a testament to the transformative power of inner work and the beauty of partnership forged in the fires of healing. It's about confronting fears of intimacy, navigating the wounds of complex trauma, and ultimately, building a relationship that nurtures and supports both partners.


In my partnership with this extraordinary man, I've witnessed the alchemy of love and healing at work. Together, we've created a space where vulnerability is celebrated, wounds are tenderly tended to, and growth is embraced with open arms. It's a partnership built on mutual respect, empathy, and a shared commitment to making each other's lives better.


As I gaze into the horizon of possibility, I am filled with gratitude for the journey that brought me here. From trauma to triumph, from heartache to healing, each step has been a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love. And as I embark on this next chapter, I do so with an open heart and a steadfast belief in the magic of possibility and partnership. I know it’s possible for you too and will hold the space for that until you can envision it for your own life.
