The Mirror of Truth: Honesty, Harmony, and the Holistic Love Triangle
The Mirror of Truth: Honesty, Harmony, and the Holistic Love Triangle
The Mirror Doesn’t Lie
There’s a moment in every person’s life when they stand in front of the mirror and truly see themselves—not the curated version they present to the world, but the raw, unfiltered truth. It’s a moment of reckoning, of honesty, of confronting where you are and where you need to go.
For me, that moment didn’t happen overnight. It crept in over years, like the slow drip of water carving a canyon. I was growing. I was juggling a demanding existence. I was trying hard not to neglect my health, and feeling increasingly... off. At first, I couldn’t put my finger on it. It wasn’t that I was thinking about my “soul’s purpose” or even using that kind of language because back then, I didn’t have the words or the awareness to describe what was missing. I just knew something wasn’t right.
The signs were subtle—a lingering fatigue, a growing sense of emptiness, a quiet voice whispering, “This isn’t you” and asking “Who are you?” But I brushed them aside, telling myself I was too busy, too important, too needed.
Eventually though, I looked in the mirror and I wanted to know the person staring back at me. The fatigue had etched itself into my face, the emptiness had dulled my eyes, and the voice had grown too loud to ignore. That was my wake-up call—my “bottom” before I hit it.
This realization didn’t come from a single moment of clarity but from years of refining my emotional intelligence—the ability to notice, process, and respond to my inner world. Emotional intelligence is the third pillar of human knowledge acquisition (after intellectual and experiential knowledge), and arguably the most important. It’s what allows us to see the truth before it becomes a crisis.
Holistic health is about more than just physical wellness; it’s a love triangle of mind, body, and soul. When these three are in harmony, you become a glowing, contributing life force on this planet. But the first step is honesty—looking in the mirror and seeing yourself clearly.
If you’re ready to take that step then let’s explore how to find your “bottom” before you hit it and create a life of harmony and vitality.
The Mirror of Honesty
The mirror is a powerful metaphor for self-reflection. It doesn’t judge, it doesn’t sugarcoat—it simply reflects what is. But how often do we truly look at ourselves with honesty and compassion?
Here’s how to use the mirror as a tool for self-awareness:
Physical Honesty: Look at your body. Are you nourishing it with healthy food, movement, and rest? Are you ignoring signs of fatigue, pain, or imbalance?
Emotional Honesty: Check in with your emotions. Are you suppressing anger, sadness, or fear? Are you living in alignment with your values, or are you compromising yourself to please others?
Spiritual Honesty: Reflect on your soul’s needs. Are you living with purpose and passion? Are you connected to something greater than yourself?
This practice isn’t about self-criticism; it’s about self-awareness. It’s about seeing where you are so you can make intentional choices about where you want to go.
The Holistic Love Triangle
Holistic health is a love triangle of mind, body, and soul. Each element is interconnected, and true wellness comes from nurturing all three in equal measure.
Mind: Your thoughts, beliefs, and mental habits shape your reality. A healthy mind is one that is clear, focused, and free from self-limiting beliefs.
Body: Your physical health is the foundation of your well-being. A healthy body is strong, energized, and free from chronic stress or illness.
Soul: Your spiritual health is the essence of who you are. A healthy soul is connected, purposeful, and aligned with your deepest truths.
When one element is out of balance, the entire system suffers. For example, chronic stress (a mental imbalance) can lead to physical illness and spiritual disconnection. The key is to create harmony among all three.
Finding Your “Bottom” Before You Hit It
Your “bottom” is the point where you can no longer ignore the signs of imbalance. For some, it’s a health crisis. For others, it’s a breakdown or a moment of deep despair. But you don’t have to hit rock bottom to make a change.
Here’s how to find your “bottom” before you hit it:
Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to physical symptoms like fatigue, pain, or digestive issues. These are often early warning signs of imbalance.
Check In with Your Emotions: Are you feeling irritable, anxious, or disconnected? These emotions are clues that something is out of alignment.
Reflect on Your Spirit: Are you living with purpose and passion? Or are you going through the motions, feeling empty and unfulfilled?
By tuning into these signals, you can make changes before a crisis occurs.
Creating Harmony in Your Life
Harmony is the state of being where mind, body, and soul are in balance. It’s not about perfection; it’s about alignment. Here’s how to create harmony in your life:
Nourish Your Mind: Practice mindfulness, journaling, or therapy to clear mental clutter and cultivate a positive mindset.
Honor Your Body: Move your body daily, eat nourishing foods, and prioritize sleep and rest.
Connect with Your Soul: Spend time in nature, meditate, or engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.
In my holistic health practice, I help clients create personalized plans to achieve this balance. It’s not about drastic changes; it’s about small, intentional steps that add up over time.
The Ripple Effect of Harmony
When you are in harmony with yourself, you become a glowing, contributing life force on this planet. Your energy radiates outward, inspiring and uplifting those around you.
In Your Relationships: You show up as your best self, creating deeper connections and more meaningful interactions.
In Your Work: You bring creativity, focus, and passion to your endeavors, making a greater impact.
In the World: You contribute to the collective well-being, spreading positivity and light wherever you go.
This is the power of holistic health—it’s not just about you; it’s about the ripple effect you create in the world.
The Mirror Is Your Ally
The mirror doesn’t lie, but it also doesn’t judge. It simply reflects the truth, giving you the opportunity to make changes before you hit your “bottom.”

Goddess Activation: What It Really Means to Honor Yourself
Goddess Activation: What It Really Means to Honor Yourself
When I first heard the term “goddess activation,” I’ll admit, I rolled my eyes. Visions of perfectly curated Instagram posts flooded my mind—women in flowing white dresses, standing on mountaintops, radiating an otherworldly glow. It felt like a marketing gimmick designed to sell us yet another version of perfection.
But over time, I began to wonder: What if being a goddess isn’t about how you look or what you achieve? What if it’s about how you feel about yourself, how you honor your journey, and how you show up in the world—even when it’s messy?
It took me 30 years to truly understand what it means to be a goddess to myself. And even now, I still have moments of doubt, fear, and insecurity. But here’s the truth: Being a goddess isn’t about being flawless. It’s about embracing your imperfections, owning your power, and choosing yourself—every single day.
The Misleading Idea of “Goddess Activation”
Let’s be real: The wellness industry loves to glamorize the idea of “goddess activation.” It’s often portrayed as a quick fix, a magical transformation that will make you radiant, confident, and unstoppable overnight. But the reality? True goddess energy isn’t something you can buy or achieve in a weekend workshop.
It’s a journey—a deeply personal, sometimes messy, and always transformative journey. It’s about peeling back the layers of self-doubt, comparison, and fear to uncover the radiant, authentic self that’s been there all along.
My 30-Year Journey to Self-Acceptance
Having started my life as an expat child to mixed race parents both living in a country that originally was not theirs either, I spent years searching for validation outside of myself—through achievements, relationships, and even my appearance. But no matter how much I accomplished, I never felt like I was enough so for me, this journey began in my very early 20’s.
It wasn’t until I became a mother that I began to understand what it truly means to honor myself. I realized that being a goddess isn’t about having it all together. It’s about showing up for yourself, even when it’s hard. It’s about embracing your flaws, celebrating your strengths, and trusting that you are worthy—exactly as you are.
What It Really Means to Be a Goddess
So, what does it mean to be a goddess? Here’s what I’ve learned:
It’s About Presence, Not Perfection: Being a goddess isn’t about looking or acting a certain way. It’s about being fully present in your life, embracing both the light and the shadow.
It’s About Self-Love: A goddess knows that self-love isn’t selfish—it’s essential. It’s about setting boundaries, prioritizing your needs, and treating yourself with kindness and compassion.
It’s About Courage: Stepping into your goddess energy requires courage. It means facing your fears, owning your power, and taking risks—even when you’re scared.
It’s About Connection: A goddess understands that she is part of something greater. She nurtures her relationships, honors her community, and seeks support when she needs it.
The Importance of Starting Somewhere
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, I want you to know this: You don’t have to have it all figured out. The journey to goddess-hood isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress.
Start small. Maybe it’s saying “no” to something that drains your energy. Maybe it’s setting aside 10 minutes a day for meditation or journaling. Maybe it’s simply looking in the mirror and saying, “I am enough.”
Every small step you take is a powerful act of self-love. And every act of self-love brings you closer to the radiant, confident goddess you were always meant to be.
The Power of Guidance and Community
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that you don’t have to do this alone. It took me 30 years to get where I am today, but I believe that with the right support, you can do it in half the time.
That’s why I created The Radiant Woman Blueprint: 12 Weeks to Mind, Body, and Soul Alignment.

A Call to Honor Yourself
If you’re ready to start your journey to goddess-hood, I want you to know this: You are already enough. You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to have it all together. All you need is the courage to take that first step.
So, what will your first step be? Maybe it’s signing up for The Radiant Woman Blueprint, Maybe it’s committing to a daily self-care practice, Or maybe it’s simply giving yourself permission to dream bigger.
Whatever it is, I’m here to cheer you on. Because the world needs your light, your wisdom, and your unique goddess energy.
