“FROM LOSS TO CONNECTION:
My Healing Journey of Alchemizing Unbearable Pain Through Transformation—Leading Me to Joy and Purpose
"I Am the Energy of
Trust, Acceptance, and Power:
An Inspiring Invitation to Transformation, Joy, and Love"
2022 Emerging Local Authors Collection – Selected by the Greater Victoria Public Library
I didn’t set out to become an author. I started writing the morning after I lost my beloved BB Prince. When I found him crushed into a thousand pieces on the highway, the pain was unbearable. In that moment, I had only my words to free me. So I wrote—and I never stopped.
This book shares the profound transformation I experienced after turning 40, catalyzed by the grief recovery work I did on myself. Healing my heart after BB Prince’s death led me to something even deeper—I began to heal my entire childhood. I never realized how much unresolved grief I had been carrying: the anger, the sadness, the anxiety, the silent depression.
This book became the balm for my broken heart—and the beginning of a new life. One filled with joy, love, prosperity, and purpose.
I never planned to write a book. But as I went through my own transformation, something inside me wanted to share it with you—not just the highlights, but the raw, vulnerable truth of the journey.
“I want you to know that no matter how hard your life has been, you always have the power to alchemize your pain and create the life you dream of.”
This book isn’t about showing you the final results. It’s about walking with you through the hard, messy, beautiful process—so you can see for yourself that while transformation can be challenging, it’s also deeply liberating and absolutely worth it.
I hope you enjoy it.
The Purpose Of The Book
Nine steps to give birth to your new life—no matter what you’ve been through.
This is raw, unfiltered transformation. Not just the joy of healing—but the struggle it takes to get there.
You’ll walk with me through the truth of my childhood challenges, and how I finally freed myself from the past. You’ll see how I turned unbearable pain into deep purpose, and how you can too.
Inside this book, you’ll find:
Basic guidance that applies to anyone facing crisis and willing to grow.
A powerful reflection on the choices we have when raised by emotionally immature parents—and how it shapes our lives.
The truth about how it affects us… and how to rise beyond it.
The steps I took to reclaim my power and create a life I never thought was possible.
At the heart of it all is the gift of connection—the moment you return to yourself, fully, and finally. Unique. Authentic. Truthful.
This is not just a story. It’s a path—from pain to power. From survival to joy. From who you were… to who you’re meant to be.
What’s In It?
“I Am the Energy of Trust, Acceptance, and Power” is not just a title.
It’s a declaration—for you to say out loud.
It’s an invitation to trust that life places you in the most challenging situations for your liberation. To accept people and things as they are—even when it’s hard—because that is the fastest way to transcend suffering and alchemize pain into blessings, growth, and gifts.
You are a powerful being—a creator. You were sent here with everything you need to overcome every challenge and build the life of your dreams.
But only if you open your mind and heart.
Only if you’re willing to see your challenges for what they truly are: invitations to dig deep, discover your own strength, and awaken your gifts, power, and intelligence.
This is the promise of this book.
I walk the walk. I talk the talk.
And I share it all—wholeheartedly, with courage and vulnerability.

About the author
I help sensitive people recover from emotionally immature parents and partners. I am a Grief Recovery Specialist and a Wholeness & Sovereignty Coach.
When I lost my beloved puppy, Baby Prince, I knew nothing about grief. I numbed myself with food, shopping, and isolation—hiding my pain out of guilt and fear of judgment. He was like a son to me, and the depth of our bond was impossible to explain.
Writing and doing the work became my lifeline, leading me to the gift of connecting with my authentic self. From there, I aligned with my soul and my purpose, and I was led to leave behind a 17-year career as an architect and project manager in Paris, London, and Montreal. Through this journey, I freed myself from the grip of a difficult childhood. Step by step, I grew, healed, and refused to give up.
Today, in my 40s, I am the happiest, healthiest, and most joyful I’ve ever been. From believing my voice didn’t matter to writing and publishing this book, I now share my story openly to inspire others to shine their light and live authentically—whole and sovereign.
