Creating a safe and nurturing environment, whether at home or work, requires a conscious and collaborative effort from every individual within the team. The impact of communication, behavior, and actions on our well-being cannot be understated. In this exploration of self-discovery, I delve into the significance of understanding personal triggers, emphasizing effective communication, and sharing a transformative journey from a challenging workplace experience.
In my past workplace, I encountered a dynamic where my efforts were consistently overshadowed by comparisons with others. There was a palpable sense of favoritism, with bias leaning towards a specific individual. This environment became a crucible for personal growth as I grappled with the intricacies of workplace dynamics.
Drawing from my extensive studies and research in Jungian psychology, I developed a profound awareness of the interconnectedness of outer experiences and inner conflicts. It was a revelation that the challenges I faced in the workplace mirrored unresolved issues from my relationship with my father. My brother, the favored one, seemingly sailed through challenges, while I had to invest significantly more effort.
Rather than succumbing to the toxicity of the workplace, I embraced this revelation as an opportunity for personal transformation. I encourage everyone to adopt a similar mindset – to view disadvantages as stepping stones to personal growth and empowerment.
The first step in this transformative journey is understanding individual triggers. Identifying what sets off negative emotions or reactions allows for a conscious redirection of energy. In my case, the constant comparisons at work triggered feelings of inadequacy and frustration. Recognizing this allowed me to consciously shift my focus from external judgments to internal growth.
Effective communication plays a pivotal role in creating a safe environment. It involves expressing oneself clearly while being receptive to others’ perspectives. In the workplace, I began addressing my concerns with management, fostering open dialogues about the impact of biased behavior. This not only helped in shedding light on the issues but also created an environment where others felt comfortable sharing their experiences.
Jungian psychology became a guiding light in this transformative process. By recognizing the parallels between my workplace challenges and unresolved family dynamics, I initiated a profound inner exploration. This self-awareness paved the way for healing and growth. Instead of viewing the workplace as an oppressive environment, I reframed it as a catalyst for understanding and resolving deep-seated issues.
My journey highlights the importance of turning disadvantages into advantages. Adversity, when viewed through the lens of self-discovery, becomes a powerful tool for personal empowerment. The workplace challenges that initially seemed insurmountable became stepping stones in my path to self-mastery.
The path to personal growth is unique for each individual. It requires a commitment to self-reflection, a willingness to confront discomfort, and the courage to embrace change. Decoding experiences, as exemplified, is a profound approach to navigating life’s challenges.

My story is about taking precautions before hitting rock bottom!
Most people don’t do this before it’s too late…
I was a homemaker and my life changed when my son was preparing to leave for university #emptynestsyndrome
The thought of an empty nest haunted me as I wondered who I would become, feeling purposeless!
Instead of allowing this feeling to overwhelm me, I used it as drive to embark on the most powerful journey of self discovery and to immerse myself in something that ignited my passion.
I wanted to use my curiosity;
I wanted to unshackle myself from fear;
So, I explored and dived into the depths of the mind, body & soul connection to really understand myself. How our emotions are connected to perceived threats and safety. Happiness & sadness, calm and anxiety, everything connected to our perception.
I discovered that so many people never understand this, thus cannot identify what threatens them. As a result they have to wait until they hit rock bottom.
I realized that people never go through this process of self-discovery proactively, because there isn’t much awareness amongst the general population, that all our issues are connected to our perception of threats. And unintentionally pass these perceptions on to their children.
I found a purpose, to help and train people to understand and identify their threat points and prevent dis-eases of the mind, body and relationships.
The Universe guided me, led me to those experiences where I could find the puzzle pieces and put them together to create a revolutionary therapy model DecodeYou®️, which is going to transform health care.
