“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light” - Albus Dumbledore
I’ve experienced heartache, the loss of loved ones, setbacks, and financial hardships, but nothing compared to this. During this time, I had to make a choice: apply what I had learned through Rare Faith and lean on those mindset principles, or fall back into old patterns of thinking and remain a victim of my circumstances.
The truth was, the situation I found myself in was a mix of poor judgment on my part, combined with others exercising their agency in ways that were vindictive, greedy, and deceitful. God's hand was also evident, guiding me toward valuable lessons. But ultimately, I had to decide how I would face this trial. Trying to make sense of how I got there wasn’t helpful—it was irrelevant by that point. I had to move forward.
Some barriers involved taking steps of faith that seemed irrational, yet I knew in my heart they were right. But the biggest terror barrier was this: believing I was enough. Could I continue to lean into my faith so that God would know He could count on me? Could I provide for my children when every external circumstance suggested I couldn’t? Was I enough for Heavenly Father? Was I enough for myself?
At 45 years old, I realized that I had never truly believed I was enough. My family and friends always told me I was. Church leaders taught me that I was. But I couldn’t believe it for myself. That self-doubt had cast a shadow over my life for years, and I knew that if I wanted to change my outer circumstances, I had to change my inner thoughts. It became clear that until I fully embraced my own worth, no external validation would ever feel like enough.
Every day, I studied the principles governing my thoughts. I journaled, prayed, and cried—often. I learned to let others offer me support, something that was uncomfortable but necessary. I leaned into meditation and affirmations, and I drew on every bit of spiritual support I could muster.
Then, something shifted. The darkness lifted. I realized I was enough. I could finally say it without hesitation, without choking on the words. And I believed it. The light and peace I felt were the most profound personal experience I had ever had with the Law of Polarity. As Leslie teaches, everything has an equal and opposite counterpart. I learned that this principle doesn’t just apply to challenges and circumstances—it applies to our feelings as well.
More extreme challenges would follow. But the stress I felt during those heavier trials was far less, because I had already been through the lesson. I had experienced the shift from extreme darkness, depression, and anxiety to an intensity of light, love, and hope I had never felt before. And because of that, I was equipped with the mental tools to face whatever life threw at me next.
Life hasn’t magically become simple or easy. I still carry the heavy burdens of raising children with mental illnesses. But now, the light I feel is directly proportional to the darkness I used to experience. And that is worth every effort, every terror barrier I had to push through.
I am a wife, a mother, and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, but I spent the majority of my life struggling to believe I was loved personally by my Savior and Father in Heaven.
I have endured intense trials and through them learned tools and techniques on how to free my mind, open my heart, receive love, and find joy again–something I believed was unattainable after going through my second divorce.
Among these pages, you will find that I share my personal struggles and triumphs with debilitating depression and anxiety; parenting children with mental health challenges; betrayal trauma; verbal and emotional abuse; divorce; lengthy custody battles; and navigating a faith where I often felt I did not belong. I choose to be raw and vulnerable about difficult (and painful) topics to encourage others to hold onto their faith when it feels impossible, and to feel hope when it appears there is none.
Writing and sharing my journey has brought much healing to me and provided me with “evidence” that I was never actually alone, I was always loved by my Heavenly Father, and I was stronger than I ever knew. I have emerged from the darkness I used to feel, and am now enjoying so much light on my journey; a Light that was always there, but I had to learn to see.
I am excited (and a bit terrified) to share my experiences to help you have hope in your hardships and faith in the possibilities that extend beyond what you can currently see.
I have learned how to be a Wayfinder, and I will help you find your way amidst the storms of your life and discover the Light within the darkness. I promise you, it is already there.
If you struggle to see past the turmoil of your storms, then come on in.
Read.
Listen.
Learn.
Find the Light that awaits you.
