First, let me address the elephant in the room: Yes, I assure you that “Marilynn Monroe” has been my Universe-given name since birth. As you can imagine, receiving comments and questions about my name is the norm for me.
Now that that’s out of the way, a little about myself and why I do what I do:
My mission is to help you create a confident and secure version of yourself that doesn’t take anyone else’s bullsh*t all whilst navigating and maintaining your daily mental health. This won’t be easy; I’ll challenge you to confront uncomfortable emotions you’ve been avoiding in order to heal.
I’m a firm believer in the saying, “In order to heal, you’ve gotta feel.” The process will feel uncomfortable as hell at first. But, I promise that once you’re finally on the other side of your pain and the euphoric feeling of accomplishing your goals and improving yourself sets in, you’ll realize that it was all worth it.
What makes my teachings more authentic than others?
Teaching is so much more to me than just doing something and expecting others to follow. It’s about inspiring and empowering you to use your natural gifts and succeed on your own.
I’ve spent years doing some intense soul-searching and making messy mistakes along the way to discover who the hell I am and what I value in life. I’ve recently gotten to a point in my life where I simply don’t give a damn about what other people think of me. Not only this, but I want to help others overcome their struggles and find their sense of happiness and peace as well.
One of the many things that make me qualified to do what I do is the fact that I’ve actually lived and survived many variations of hell on Earth in the form of:
- Adult ADHD
- Narcissistic and emotional abuse
- Sudden and tragic loss
- Homelessness as a child
- Abandonment issues
- PTSD
- Anxiety
- Depression
I don’t come from wealth. I’ve had to crawl my way back up from the depths of hell by finding the motivation to finally change my thinking patterns and actions even though I didn’t have a solid foundation to build on. To top that off, I’ve been attempting to do with with adult ADHD. Which is basically like throwing gasoline on fire in this case, but here I am still trying to do my best.
I’ve used several traumatic experiences as fuel to become the flawed optimist I am today. After tragically losing my dad in 2014, I was left feeling some raw emotions that were very uncomfortable. Trying to find any relief possible, self-destruction became my best friend. I was drowning in self-pity, substance, and toxic relationships until I became completely submerged and lost my sense of self.
It wasn’t until shortly after my little girl was born in 2017 that I broke free from my lifelong trance of self-pity and limiting beliefs. Holding her in my arms made me realize that love still existed in my life if I was willing to embrace it.
Do I still have sh*tty days from time to time? Yep!
Do I make mistakes and feel defeated sometimes? More than I like to admit.
But, the difference is: I don’t let that shit define me anymore.
Some days existing still seems impossible, especially when I’m not feeling quite like myself from lack of quality and consistency with my ADHD medication. That’s a whole other story for another time and article. I’ve decided not to let that hold me back any longer. I have to keep pushing forward no matter what.
