I share from my own healing journey—these posts are for me first, then if you relate, for you too. I’m simply walking in purpose and sharing what helps me heal and grow, in hopes it may encourage you to. 🌱✨  Cortisol is a hormone your body produces in response to stress. It’s made by your adrenal glands (small glands that sit on top of your kidneys) and plays a big role in how your body manages stress, energy, and balance.

Childhood Games To Purpose - Full Circle

At 12 or 13, I got my first taste of entrepreneurship, selling Kudos candy bars at school thanks to my aunt. It felt natural—like something inside me already knew how to build, serve, and share. Teaching came natural too. I’ve always had a heart for sharing what I’ve learned, planting seeds in others. And the healer in me? Still present. I often receive insights—spiritual remedies and visions—that I research and find real benefits like medicine.

It’s amazing to realize that the games I played as a child were never just pretend—they were glimpses of my calling. These roles still shape who I am today. Playing store as I create products and have an online store , teacher as I heal I share what I am learning or have learned sometimes sharing my thoughts on the topic in a way that provokes thought, and doctor wasn’t random because to this day I still get inspired remedies and medicines—it was purpose peeking through.

It appears that what we’re drawn to as children can be clues to our future. Our childhood joy might just be the earliest whispers of who we’re meant to become.
