EMPOWERING + INSPIRING LOST + FOUND STORIES FROM HUMANS WE LOVE ..

LOST + FOUND

REAL. RAW. NO FILTER.

HERE YOU WILL FIND

everyday hopeFULL human stories of experiences of heartbreak, suicide, abuse, addiction, neglect, bullying, depression, repression, oppression and suppression and how on the other side, this is now what makes us unique .. and what drives us to BE THE CHANGE in the world ..

it is not to say we know how you feel, or that we understand what you are experiencing in this moment, it is simply a gentle reminder that ..

you are not broken, you are not alone, and no matter your past, your trauma, your current heartache there is HOPE that comes from knowing others have faced similar "life is fucking rip your heart out awful sometimes," experiences and have FOUND themselves on the other side living a wonderful and loving existence.

there is one thing i know for sure YOU MATTER. your life and existence on this earth matters. and our HOPE here is that together we can find a little PURPOSE by understanding, and sharing, our PAIN. this by no way condones abuse, violation, humiliation or any form of violence, however knowing you are not alone can often help us feel a little more human, whole and hopeful .. most importantly please know, in spite of everything you have experienced up until this point in time .. you are, have always been and will forever be more than enough..

you my friend are worthy and deserving of the greatest life and love of all …

 

connected, loved, supported, valued, seen, heard and witnessed I truly believe we once again become liberated, wild and free, safe and secure to be and only then are we ready to #pressplayyourway on all we were born to be, create and share with the world .. in your unique way ..

my request here is that you please hold these uniquely personal stories with the sacred reverence, respect, and love they have been shared .. and remember along the way when feeling into these experiences .. emotions might rise, allow them, thoughts and judgments might flow, invite them, tears may pour out, welcome them .. as we share all of this, our intention is for an inner alchemical transformation of understanding, love, forgiveness and acceptance to ignite within you .. invite it all, let it rise to release and please, please, please reach out for support.

Each of us are where we are today, because we finally asked for help, we were supported to journey deep within to allow the love to flood back into our hearts and lives.

And as you’re reading or watching these sharing's please remember  “its not good, its not bad, we still don’t know the whole story ..and for us all the best is truly yet to come”

LOST (GIRL) FOUND

LET'S BEGIN WITH SISTA K ..

why .. oh .. why .. did K aka a lost girl, found, CREATE Empowering Teens and LOST + FOUND .. I’ve spent the last 11 years, well potentially most of my life, experiencing, and listening too, stories of shame, regret, disappointment, blame and unworthiness for all we are, and for myself as a woman.

this includes the roles, and the choices we make, or feel are forced upon us, which SHUT US DOWN, hold us hostage and take us away from experiencing the deepest of love, and connection, we were born to BE.

I’ve also seen tragedies, turn to triumphs, personal pain, turn to purposeful passion, and my own shame become my greatest driver for soulful driven positive contribution and success ..

LOST (GIRL) FOUND

STEF IS WILD..


This is a really vulnerable share for me. I feel like there is so much stigma around talking about suicide and the last thing I want is for anyone to think I'm just an attention seeker or that I'm asking for pity.

Personally, I love seeing myself as a strong woman, friendly, bubbly, on top of life but the reality is that there is another side of me that I have repressed and rejected because it has really scared me. I've had suicide ideation since I was a teenager.

Living in a toxic environment and being mentally and physically abused was when I first found myself thinking about how it would be so much easier to just not be alive. Later, in adulthood, when I was living a life that was not true to me, plus with unhealed trauma from childhood, I found myself suffering again and thinking about suicide.

THERE'S LOTS MORE LOST + FOUND TO COME ..
