In 2008 I survived a terrorist attack in Mumbai, India. I was 22 and traveling for work in the fashion industry. I ran for my life, thought I was going to die, and got to come home when hundreds didn't.

I knew I was meant to experience the attacks, survive them, and do something with it. But my 22 year old brain just wanted to get back to life. So I drank a lot, did drugs, and traveled.

For a decade, I locked up my trauma and made sure it never came out. But that's not how trauma works. It's going to break free eventually.

On the 10 year anniversary of the attacks, in 2018, the monster escaped from its cage and brought me to my knees.

From that point forward I've been obsessed with shadow work because it really f*cking works. My whole life changed when I finally stopped pretending the most traumatic event in my life didn't happen.

I'm on a mission to make shadow work mainstream because it's where our true power lives.

Power isn't in the light. It's in the dark. In the moments that bring you to your knees.
