I’m so excited our lives have crossed paths! I wanted to share a little bit about myself and my journey with you. For a really long time, I lived my life for other people. A lot of it was because I had low self worth. I would pick myself apart and subconsciously, I felt like I was not worthy and deserving of the things that I wanted.
And so I would settle. I settled on a lot of things. The way people treated me, the friends I kept, the situations I was in. Not only that, but I was afraid to be my authentic self. Because I thought people would not like me if they knew “the real me.”
The Mayra that is introverted and would rather spend her time reading a book and learning. We live in a society that forces us to fit in or be considered an outcast. To like the same things, dress the same, act the same. For a long time I conformed.
All of this changed when I started spending more time with myself and started doing the work to heal. When I started putting myself first and stopped trying to be and act like someone I was not.
And so my passion for self help, self love and self development began. I got my Bachelors of science degree from Portland State University where I majored in Psychology and Community Health in 2014.
I swore I was going to become a therapist. Because I have always loved to help people. But when I realized that was not my passion, I became really lost. So I decided to come up with a motto:
“I want to teach people how to love themselves, know their worth, and inspire them to be the best version of themselves.”
I did not know how I would do it, but the universe was listening. Soon after a Life coaching video was suggested to me on youtube. As soon as I watched it, I knew that this was my next journey.
I got my Life coaching and Energy leadership Practitioner certification from iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching) in January 2021. I love watching people transform and gain new insights in their lives. And that is why I want to walk this journey of self discovery with you.
To empower you to start living your life for yourself again.
