Spirituality isn’t about rebelling against religion—it’s about expanding beyond it. When I stepped out of church and into my full spiritual calling, I realized I didn’t leave faith behind—I brought it with me. But now? I light my incense, I say my prayers, I use my crystals, and I know  the Divine is listening because I’m listening too.

The journey from breakdown to breakthrough is not an easy one. It requires a willingness to face the uncomfortable truths about ourselves and to let go of the material and financial crutches we cling to. But in doing so, we open ourselves up to profound personal transformation. Each challenge I faced, each moment of vulnerability, became a stepping stone towards a more fulfilled and emotionally stable life.

I stopped searching for peace and instead began creating it for myself. I developed spiritual practices that grounded me and kept me connected to that inner sanctuary of calm. I made conscious choices to surround myself with positivity and to avoid environments and people that disrupted my peace.
