I’ve been processing a painful truth for the last few years—one that has not only brought deep grief but also challenged how I show up as a coach and guide for cyclebreakers.
As luck—or alignment—would have it, I’m in a 12th house profection year astrologically. It’s a time of deep internal review, reflection, and spiritual integration. A season of shedding old skins and preparing for a soul-aligned new chapter.
As an introspective person, an Emotional Projector, and an intuitive empath, this level of emotional depth and pattern recognition is where I feel most at home. But even so, I wasn’t sure how to put into words the inner shifts and truths that have emerged over the last few years.
Until recently.
How fitting that on the day of the Gemini New Moon—a day known for clarity and truth—I finally allowed myself to speak mine. And today, on Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day, I’m ready to share it with you.
My estrangement from my family of origin was not solely my choice.
They walked away long before I ever did.
For years, I framed my story as one of conscious no contact. I believed I had made the decision to walk away. I even tried to find empowerment in that narrative.
But the deeper truth?
I was simply responding to a decision that had already been made for me—long before I had the words to understand it.
I didn’t sever the bond.
I finally stopped pretending there was one.
This realization hit me on a day aligned with astrology—but more than that, it aligned with my soul.
I use astrology in my work not just as a timing tool, but as a mirror—a way to remember who you are before the world (or your family) told you who you had to be.
And that’s what this moment was for me:
✨ A soul reminder.
✨ A reclamation.
✨ A breaking of silence that had once kept me safe, but now only kept me small.
And I know I’m not alone.
Maybe you’ve experienced this, too.
Maybe you were the emotional truth-teller in your family—the one who named the things no one else wanted to see.
Maybe your boundaries were seen as betrayal.
Your healing interpreted as hostility.
Maybe you’re the one who finally stopped calling—but only after years of being ignored, blamed, gaslit, or scapegoated.
And now you wonder:
Was it really no contact if they were never truly there?
Let me tell you:
You are not broken.
You are not too much.
You are not unworthy of love just because the people who raised you couldn’t offer it in the way you needed.
What you’re grieving isn’t just the loss of family.
You’re grieving the fantasy that they were ever capable of being what you deserved.
That grief is sacred.
That truth is sacred.
And that’s where real healing begins.
Why I Haven’t Spoken Publicly Until Now
This is also why I’ve struggled to create content around emotional abuse, narcissistic family systems, parentification, enmeshment, and sibling bullying—
Not because I didn’t have anything to say.
But because I wasn’t ready to say it from my own voice, on my own terms.
Because deep down, a part of me was still waiting—to be believed, to be validated, to be “allowed” to speak.
But I’m not waiting anymore.
Your Story Is Medicine
As a guide, coach, and intuitive healer, I’ve always believed that your voice matters.
That your story is medicine.
That your chart holds the map—but you hold the key.
I share my story not to center my pain, but to remind you:
✨ You are not alone.
✨ You’re not imagining it.
✨ There is life, magic, and power on the other side of your family’s silence.
Your story deserves space.
Your truth deserves a voice.
If You’re Walking the Path of Estrangement, I See You
Whether it was your choice or something that happened to you—
If your healing feels invisible because the wounds weren’t physical…
If you’re still navigating the guilt, grief, or confusion of being the one who “broke the cycle”…
Know this:
You didn’t break the family.
You broke the silence.
And that’s where your liberation begins.
