Read Yael’s Story: Rising From The Ashes
My Journey to Empowering the Feminine. In 2020, my life changed in ways I could never have anticipated. An intense awakening shook me to my core—physically, spiritually, and emotionally. It was a time of profound transformation, one that led me to the darkest corners of my soul. But through the shadows, I discovered the light, and in that light, I found the strength to rise again.
As I navigated my journey toward enlightenment, life tested me in ways that seemed unbearable. I faced a divorce that shattered my sense of stability, mourned the loss of a pregnancy that I had held so close to my heart, and grieved the passing of my soul animals who had been my loyal companions. I found myself entangled in a toxic, narcissistic relationship that eroded my self-worth and endured breakups that left me feeling isolated and vulnerable.
There was even a point where I suffered a nervous breakdown, convinced that I would never find my way back to the surface. But somehow, in the depths of that pain, I found a way to alchemize it into power.
I realized that the very darkness I feared held the key to my rebirth. Through somatic therapy, I learned the importance of pausing, reflecting, and nurturing myself. I turned to plant medicine, seeking wisdom from the earth to heal the wounds that had festered for so long. Retreat after retreat, I delved into my childhood trauma, moving it through my body, releasing it from the grip it had on my spirit. I committed myself fully to understanding the depths of my soul. I refused to show up as the victim any longer.
I chose to rise from the ashes like the phoenix, reborn in my own power. My past is one of struggle—of drug and alcohol addiction, of sex work, of physical and spiritual trauma, of loss and shame. But it was in that crucible of suffering that I found my calling. I realized I was meant to work with women, to bring us together so that we could help each other heal.
The feminine has been silenced and diminished for far too long, and it’s time to reclaim our voices, our power, and our place in this world. My dedication to self-healing is not just for myself, but for all my sisters. Together, we can elevate the feminine, rising in our strength and unity. We can lead each other home to love, acceptance, and sisterhood. We need each other now more than ever. It’s time to rise in our power, to support and uplift one another, to become the goddesses we were always meant to be. Let us awaken, strengthen, and support the feminine, for the time of our ascension is here.
We are rising. We are powerful. We are one — Yael
