And That Was One of the Most Defining Moments of My Life to This Day. Saying goodbye to my dog with a Heart that Had Just Been Shattered into a Billion Pieces. It’s really how it felt. I knew I was doing the right thing by moving on, by going to Los Angeles. And it didn’t stop me from breaking into the most uncomfortable wails I’ve ever experienced. My husband (at the time) had just driven away. That was the last moment of him being my husband really. He wanted to leave the house before I got in the car for a nationwide drive. I compare it to a scene in Dallas Buyers Club where Matthew McConaughey is on the side of the road, in a car, having an emotional breakdown. The wails were so uncomfortable to watch — yet relatable — because he (Matthew) was one of the only other people I had ever seen cry like I (once) did. The dog started barking like no tomorrow. I think he was just as alarmed by my wails as I was. That moment was so important though. A few months later I would hear the quote, “The wound is the place where the light enters you” by Rumi. In the moment of hearing that quote I would know exactly what it meant based on this parting of ways experience. I wailed, and I wailed, and I wailed. That was the end of the life and the romantic love I had known for eight years before. Our relationship had had its many troubles for sure — and — I still loved the guy. The love had been real. I Kept Breaking Wide-Open So in that moment of my Heart Having Just Been Shattered into a Billion Pieces, I then sat down and said goodbye to my dog. My little, gray, 20-pound chihuahua-boston terrier mix. I don’t think he understood what was happening and I still had to say goodbye. (I was the one that adopted him but I knew that he wouldn’t have a good quality of life if he came along.) And so my Heart Broke a Little More in That Moment Too. Picking myself up off the floor in that moment took everything. Every bit of willpower and regard for myself that I had. My sister was about to be dropped off in the driveway by a friend and my car had been packed. This life was done. It was time to go. It Takes Courage to Be Done I share these details because I know the courage that it takes to be done. To let go, to move on. It didn’t feel easy at the time. Looking back I see how necessary it was to set myself free. I was setting me free. I was choosing to open up to Life, the Unknown, in a way that I never had before. I was choosing to dissolve a life that hadn’t worked or felt good for a very long time. I was choosing to be Wide Open to a Dream. My Childhood Dream. Spiritual Awakenings are real. That was a crucial part of mine. “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” Having had that experience I now know exactly what that means. The next leg of this journey was 2600 miles in length. My sister and I would do that in forty-six hours. Then, then I would see something unlike anything I had seen before. A world, a neighborhood called North Hollywood. A place that would show me How Safe It Was to Be My Self 🕊 The End.

Today I get to announce a fun and super meaningful collaboration with someone who has a remarkable story to tell 💫 I recently met Arcturus via LinkedIn and have loved getting to know him and the energy he brings to the world. It felt natural and easy to invite him to have this recorded conversation. Here are a few details you might like to know: Arcturus helps people on a healing journey to discover and walk their highest path. Together with his partner, Loriel, they offer individual and group healing sessions. Arcturus began his own healing journey after hitting rock bottom after suffering from depression and anxiety for decades. This path included healing chronic back pain, losing over 100 pounds, curing sleep apnea, and overcoming the depression and anxiety. This led to a spiritual awakening experience that brought the gift of unconditional love and feeling connected to everyone. His passion is to empower people to become the hero of their own story and discover the amazing power that they have. A few highlights from our conversation include: • We learn about how an out-of-body experience in his 20s set him up beautifully for his awakening path later in life • Arcturus speaks to his journey of going beyond debilitating depression and anxiety • The above-mentioned journey includes insights on concussions in relationship to depression later in life and how specific brain games played a helpful part in the recovery of fatigued parts of Arcturus's brain • Enlightening perspectives are shared on the wounded empath / narcissist tendency dynamic • Arcturus speaks to what the awakening path has meant to the relationships in his life (how good they've gotten) • Arcturus shares the why behind his work with Healing Light Feeling ready to listen to this episode?
