Over the last 20 years, my soul kept returning to the same idea—a space to write, reflect, and explore a mindset rooted in positivity. Again and again, I felt pulled toward understanding myself more deeply.
I naturally became almost obsessively interested in learning about me. Why was I the way I was? How did I interact with others? Why did I respond to situations the way I did?
One of the biggest things I realized I needed to change was how little I took myself seriously. I was constantly investing my energy into everyone and everything else, but I wasn’t seeing myself as the project.
That realization led me into a deep exploration of the subconscious mind—the voice we all carry inside. I started thinking of it as the roommate that lives within me. And let me tell you… she was a bully. The worst kind, actually. The kind who knew all my weaknesses and exactly what to say to make me feel the smallest.
Thankfully, along this journey back to myself, I learned to step away from that voice and observe it. I realized there was a conversation to be had. A new direction to take. One that said, “Hey, maybe I’m not this horrible person after all. Maybe it’s time to start redirecting the focus.”
It wasn’t an overnight change. It took about a year of intentional redirection, self-talk, and learning to challenge that inner voice.
And that journey eventually led me here.
To this space I’m now welcoming you into.
Over time, something started to change. The more I observed that inner voice, the more I realized I had the power to challenge it. Instead of letting it run the show, I began questioning it. Slowly, the conversation inside my mind shifted from criticism to curiosity. I started asking different questions—about my habits, my beliefs, my relationship with money, and the systems I had always accepted without thinking twice.
That shift didn’t just change the way I spoke to myself. It changed the way I saw the world. I began noticing how much of life runs on autopilot—how we follow patterns, beliefs, and expectations that were never really ours to begin with. The deeper I explored these ideas, the more I felt pulled to write about them. And eventually, that pull became what you’re reading now: Rooted Within 369.
