How Teaching Others to Forgive Themselves Changed Me Forever
What happens when we truly step into our own power and forgiveness? Teaching spiritual awareness has shown me, through my students’ journeys and my own, that transformation is possible — and it’s breathtaking.
How Being a Spiritual Teacher Has Transformed My Life
If you would have told me 20 years ago that I’d be teaching people how to turn on their psychic awareness, I would have looked at you with crazy eyes. Even though some part of me has always been a teacher, I never identified that way.
Now, after several years of teaching, I can’t imagine doing anything else — and let me tell you why.
Teaching has brought me a level of growth that has enriched my relationship with myself, with the people I love, and with my own creativity. I know from the deepest parts of me that I am meant to do this work — the work of holding space for students as they create their own path using tools that reconnect them to their strength and their answers.
And in witnessing my students, I’ve learned more about the human spirit than I ever imagined.
I’ve had students show up punishing themselves, convinced they had to “get it right” to be worthy of their own intuition. I’ve had students who thought they already knew everything — until they entered this training and realized that knowing it all was just another layer of control. To watch them soften, release the pressure, and find a real, honest path back to themselves has been nothing short of powerful.
I’ve held space for students who have been deeply victimized in life — so much so that they identified only as “the victim,” which made them feel powerless… or created a craving to overpower everything and everyone. To witness them clear those energies, dissolve the old victim picture, and step into a higher vibration of themselves — seeing their experiences as lessons rather than identity — has been breathtaking.
I’ve had students who arrived thirsty for their psychic abilities to turn on so they could create more in their lives… not fully knowing what they were getting into but trusting that their body knew the next right step.
As humans, we often hold onto pain, and sometimes we want to punish others or ourselves for it. We can fall into feeling powerless — but we aren’t. There are so many ways to step out of that old game and into one we consciously create, one filled with amusement, abundance, love, and forgiveness.
And I get to hold space for that transformation — if a student chooses to take those steps.
Something else I’ve learned as a teacher is the power of investing in oneself.
Every now and then, I meet people who do spiritual work in their own way and feel they shouldn’t have to pay for a class. I understand where that belief comes from — many of us were taught that spiritual gifts should be given freely.
But what I’ve witnessed again and again is that the moment someone chooses to invest in their growth, something shifts. It’s not about the dollar amount — it’s about the energetic commitment. When a student exchanges energy for what they’re learning, whether that’s time, attention, or money, it activates something in them. It builds self-value. It creates accountability. It opens doors to abundance because they begin clearing the energies that once blocked them from receiving.
The tools I teach aren’t “better” than anyone else’s way — they’re simply a pathway for those who feel aligned with them. And the people who choose to invest in themselves through this work tend to be the ones who experience the deepest transformation, because they’re saying to the universe:
“I’m worth showing up for.”
And I don’t share this from a pedestal — I share it because I’ve lived it.
I have spent the last ten years taking spiritual trainings, deepening my own intuition, healing, and clearing the energy patterns that kept me small. And I plan to keep learning. I am still a student of this work, always. Investing in my growth has been one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever given myself, and it’s the reason I’m able to hold space for others in the way that I do today.
Teaching people to create without needing anyone else’s approval or validation has been unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed. Far beyond techniques or tools, teaching in the spiritual arena is really about guiding someone into forgiving themselves in a real, embodied way. Watching a human being evolve through reconnecting with their spirit — and stepping into forgiveness and grace — has brought me the deepest joy and gratitude.
Sharing this work has changed my life.
It has renewed my faith in humanity.
It has expanded my capacity for unconditional love, especially when I can see the places where others still can’t forgive themselves — and I can forgive them anyway.
Teaching has broadened my view of the world.
Most people don’t know this, but when one person steps into true self-forgiveness, it genuinely raises the vibration of the planet. I know that might sound outrageous, but think about it: What would happen if you forgave yourself fully and in an embodied way? What impact would that have on your world?
It’s a big deal to hold space for people who are brave enough to look at themselves, move through deep emotions and long-held energies, and come out the other side living more aligned with their spirit than with their programming.
I am living a life of grace and forgivingness — a golden life — and I am forever grateful.
As you read this, I invite you to pause for a moment and ask yourself:
Where in my own life am I ready to offer myself a little more grace?
What might open for me if I forgave myself, even just one degree more than I did yesterday?
Sometimes the smallest shift in compassion toward ourselves becomes the doorway into an entirely new way of being.
