To support women to reclaim their voices as the powerful co-creators they are, feel confident to stand on their own two feet, and anchor in their truth, sovereignty and wisdom on Mother Earth. Read more about my story here.
Even as I go to write this "about me" my mind stops and my soul laughs. “About Me” sections are funny... words could never fully describe the totality of a human.
What should I tell you? What do you want to know? What words illuminate who I am today?
I'm a first-born by 15 min. Yep, I'm an identical twin. This has shaped my life profoundly and deserves a place up front of my story. I'm married to my best friend (after a long journey of healing!) and a mother to the most beautiful baby boy.
Maybe you’re curious about how I got here? After my divorce at 25 I become obsessed with liberation. Divorces in this culture will do that to you. HELLO DESCENT #1. Liberating myself - first and foremost - and then liberating others from dogma, old life-draining patterns and toxic relationships.
Or maybe you’re curious about my mission? The work I do in this 🌎 is about remembrance. Helping others remember who they are, and helping us all remember why we are here and our sacred role as Earth stewards.
My prayer is simple. I pray we all return to our hearts, that we slow down, soften, and remember the beautiful world that lives within and around us. May we have the courage to drop the masks, the armor, and re-awaken to our co-creative powers to heal - ourselves, one another, and the planet.
In addition to all of that jazz, I’m a Certified Health Coach, Author, Co-Founder of Zura Health, Podcast Host, Ceremonialist, and Writer.
My work helps women understand the deep and profound impact their family system, social conditioning and culture have had on their bodies, their hearts and in their relationships — especially the one they have with themselves. I help women identify how these systems have created a division between them and their true sense of self - because trust me, whether you realize it or not, this conditioning has had a profound impact on your life. I refer to it as the feminine wound. A.k.a. The Patriarchy Wound.
Female inferiority (or, the feminine wound) is the pain that comes as a result of being a woman. Otherwise known as intergenerational wounding, it is passed down through generations of women within patriarchal cultures. It has us believe that, as women, we are:
Less than
Not good enough
Not attractive enough
Not worthy
Too loud/proud/emotional/outspoken.
Sadly, the list goes on and on.
Shame related to things like divorce and infertility
Unexpressed anger
People pleasing
High achieving
Codependency
Being the “good” girl/woman/daughter/wife
Tolerating toxic behavior from others
Playing small and not “rocking the boat" in order to be loved
A poor relationship with self
Comparison and competition with other women
Feeling guilty for having desires and goals
Experiencing things like eating disorders, depression and addictions.
I grew up as the first born (only by 15 minutes to my twin sister but boy, did I take on this role!) in my family. I felt the pressure to be extremely responsible in my role as the older sibling and as such, fully embraced the labels of “caretaker”, “big sister” and the “good daughter”. Committed to being the “model eldest”, and never wanting to upset anyone within my family unit, I quickly became a people pleasing perfectionist.
I first had to work in jobs that were completely unfulfilling and soul-sucking. These “shadow” jobs distracted me from my life’s purpose.
I had to end up in a marriage that, despite there being a lot of love, I see in hindsight was used as a safety net because I was lost in life, wanting to avoid becoming an adult and scared of standing on my own two feet.
I had to reach a place of depression and desperation that was a consequence of being in a relationship and living a life that was not connected to my truest and deepest sense of self.
I had to question what my purpose in this life was, and where I fit in.
I got clear on who I, Kylie was, and separated it from who my family, the media, the education system, religious institutions and society generally, told me to be.
I got a divorce (which brought with it a lot of shame because apparently, ‘good’ girls don’t leave marriages?!)
I got courageous and made a commitment to learn how to stand tall on my own two feet financially before entering into my next relationship.
I’m now committed to helping women do this work and look deep into the roots of their being with love, compassion and radical acceptance.
