"It's not who we are that hold us back, its who we think we are not"

Hi, I am Sandra,

I’m a self-growth and inspiration junkie as well as a mother of one, wife, life and travel lover. I start every day with the intention to live life to the fullest, love from the bottom of my heart.

However, my spirit has not always been in a good and healthy place that it is in today. For a long period of time of my life, I struggled with low self-esteem and worth and my life was filled with self-doubts and fears as a result of deep past hurt and traumas which I unconsciously buried deep inside. Back then I was constantly chasing the feeling of feeling "good enough" and internally I felt vulnerable, broken and unfulfilled.

Self-care was not on my list and self-love was like a foreign language to me. About 10 years ago at age 30 after experiencing panic attacks on more or less a daily basis I hit rock bottom and I was forced to change my mindset, habits and beliefs in order to turn my life around.

My journey to where I am today has been long and bumpy.

However through sharing my own traumas, hurt and life experiences with other women (and men) I have come to learn that most of us that experienced hurt, loss and trauma in our pasts irrespective of what we do, how we look like and how “successful” we may be, we tend to put ourselves down more often than not as a direct result of our self-limiting beliefs that we are carrying with us through life.

We let opportunities pass us because we don’t believe we are “ready yet” or “competent enough” and we stay stuck in unhealthy relationships because we don’t think we deserve better. Believe me, I know, I been there!

Though all of our pasts, realities and struggles will differ, what connects us is the feeling of not feeling “good enough” or “worthy enough”. More often than not we seek approval, acceptance and love from others and forget that this NEEDS to come from ourselves first.

Through my own healing and growth, I have learnt that we all have enormous power within us, an inner strength that is raw, real and authentic and that it is our re-connection to this source of energy that will enable us to heal, feel even more than enough and truly empowered.

I also today know that instead of seeking external confirmation and reassurance of my worth, value and lovability I need to turn within and practice of self-love, self-acceptance and self-worth and I can only do so through re-connecting to my very own inner strength.

I now feel that it is my mission, my purpose to share what I learnt along my journey with other women that experienced trauma and adversity.

My aim is to share self-empowering or what I call #youpoweredbyyou content to inspire other women to connect to their inner strength, and claim their power and break free from fears, self-doubts and limiting beliefs and become absolutely unstoppable!
