Hello Lovely,
I want to share something with you that I've learned: our deepest wounds and most painful experiences can often become our greatest gifts. But oh, how impossible that feels when you're in the middle of the darkness. I know, because I've been there – sitting on the floor of my bathroom, hand full of pills, wondering how much longer I could keep going.
Let me take you back to where it all began...
I was that little girl watching her mother battle chronic illness, learning too early how fragile life could be and living every day knowing that my presence in the house caused my Mom pain. That lesson of the fragility of life came crashing home again when, at 20, I lost my first fiancé. In my junior year of college, the unthinkable happened – three men I trusted, who I called friends, betrayed that trust in the most violent way possible. My heart shattered into a million pieces, and in my desperate attempt to put it back together, I fell into an abusive marriage with a man who couldn't love me for me – because he couldn't even love himself.
Then came three more abusive relationships, each leaving deeper scars than the last.
The diagnosis came as no surprise: PTSD. Depression. Generalized anxiety disorder. My doctor did what he was trained to do, he handed me prescriptions like they were candy, and I took them because what else could I do? The medications dulled the pain, but they also dulled everything else – my joy, my hope, my ability to feel truly alive and honestly? I still wanted to end it all every single day.
Here's the thing about rock bottom – sometimes it's actually the foundation that you rebuild your life on. That's what the medicine wheel teachings did for me. Unlike anything I'd tried before, these ancient wisdom traditions didn't just put a band-aid on my wounds. They taught me to understand them, to learn from them, and ultimately, to heal them so they no longer came flooding back and causing me to react in really awful ways. It was a beautiful way to find my power from pain.
I learned that:
- Every painful experience had been preparing me for my purpose
- The strength I needed wasn't in a pill bottle – it was in my own heart
- True healing doesn't mean forgetting our past – it means transforming the pain into wisdom
- We aren't meant to just survive our traumas – we're meant to thrive beyond them
Now, the changes in my life weren't instant, they took time and effort and they were profound. Like watching a garden come to life after a long winter, I began to see beauty blooming in places where there had only been pain.
I opened my heart to love again, leading me to a relationship that feels like coming home every day. Physical symptoms caused by my past pain that had plagued me for years began to fade away. My connection with my own inner wisdom grew stronger every day and I found myself naturally stepping into my purpose as a healer and guide.
In 2019, I completed my medicine wheel training, following certifications in Professional Life Coaching, Shamanic Life Coaching, and Professional Business Coaching. My real and most profound qualification? Living through the darkness and finding my way back to light and life.
Since 2021, I've had the profound honor of guiding other women through their own healing journeys. I've witnessed miracles that still bring tears to my eyes:
- A woman who hadn't slept through the night in years finally finding peaceful rest
- A mother healing her relationship with her teenage daughter
- A survivor of abuse discovering her voice and starting her own business (making more money in one year than she’d made in 5 in her previous j-o-b.)
- A woman saving her marriage from years of misunderstandings and miscommunications
Now, I'm opening my home – the sacred space where I've done my own deepest healing – for the final time. This year-long medicine wheel program is limited to just four women who will gather four times over a year to journey together through the ancient wisdom teachings that changed my life.
In this intimate setting, surrounded by the peace my husband and I have cultivated, you'll discover:
- The wisdom that's already living in your heart
- The strength that's been within you all along
- The joy that's possible on the other side of pain
- The community of lovelies who will hold you as you heal together
If you're reading this with tears in your eyes, if your heart is beating a little faster, if something deep inside you is whispering "maybe," – listen to that voice. It's your inner wisdom calling you home to yourself.
I know the journey can feel frightening. I know the investment – of time, of money, of heart – can feel overwhelming. But lovely I promise you: on the other side of that fear is everything you've been dreaming of.
Let's have a conversation. Not a sales call, not a pitch – just two women talking heart to heart about what's possible for your life. Because I believe in my soul that you were guided to this moment for a reason.
A conversation costs you nothing. Nothing except being open to letting go of all the past painful shit that’s happened to you, and in letting go, finding the strength and resilience that lives underneath.
Remember: Your story isn't over. The pain you've experienced in the past isn't your destiny or your destination – it's the butterflies' cocoon that when you emerge, you’ll be stronger and more beautiful than you ever imagined possible.
With so much love and belief in you and your ability to create the life of your dreams. I love you,
Melody Gaynor
