Wow so beautiful “I dress for protection. When people see me I want them to know that I come from a strong blood line and I want the right ones to feel comfortable enough to come up to me”

I like the idea of dressing for protection. If they really want to know you they will see through the barriers and they will stick around while you peel back the layers. So beyond wise. Btw her aura is amazing.

Her story made me cry a river. I find it heartbreaking that her experiences as a woman led to her trying to take her own life. Now she is transformed, and her courage is astounding. I love her for her courage and wisdom and the fact she wants to live now, is a type of miracle. I cannot imagine enduring the trauma she had, and she came out on the other side, the positive beautiful soul she is, and how she wants to help others. It’s like she had to die to be reborn to be her true self. This is one of the most profound things I’ve seen on KZfaq, ever. Love love love to her ❤️🙏❤️

She’s an empath and she is here to teach the women of the world heal from their pain and illness by using the old ways that have been handed down through the indigenous peoples of this planet. We are here to heal our ancestral wounds carried in our physical bodies through all of our individual incarnations. Facing our fears and coming into the Love of creation through being an manifestation of ones’ Devine truth as created by God(creator) is the lifelong journey we all face.

I am so grateful for her story , and I am so grateful for this channel ! This Chanel is making me regain hope and the joy for my self expression that seemed to start slipping away. I have always been misunderstood for possessing beauty and a keen eye for beautiful things . Because of this I have tried extra harder to gain people’s love and approval, but instead I have been many times punished by other women and used and abused by men, Treated as if there is not a human being behind my clothes worth getting to know . Finally, I have done a lot of inner work to heal my wounds and reparen myself, but there is nothing like the power of finding your tribe and other women in the path of healing who are willing to embody their power. I am so grateful to have found this tribe and although is an online channel , my hope is to meet powerful women like this in real life . Finding Community is on my wish list for this new year 2022. Happy new year to all !
