Amelia MorelandGuestSerenaHostSo coming from that environment and that control, how did you really step foot on your healing journey? Like once you left, and I know you said at 18 is when you kind of got excommunicated.
How do you say it? Excommunicated, yeah.
But you kind of broke away, but you said it wasn't until early 20s, right, that you were living out on your own?

And then in my early 20s, I left and then I did come back for maybe like six months, I think, to my mom's house.

But that was kind of the end of it because by the time I was 18, 19 years old...

Like I had like wild nightmares and I had like a, I had weird experience with like snakes and stuff when I was like nine, like I wanted a pet snake.

And then the next thing I know there's like 15 other snakes trying to get in my room.

So I turned off my snake vibe for a second, but yeah, I feel that but um yeah like just like weird stuff what happened to me when I was two I saw an angel um when I was like really young I would have dreams about like weird like creepy spirits like I think it was a lot of grief from losing my dad early that made me an energetic match for Like lower vibrational beings to kind of camp out around me because there was no healthy way to process that kind of stuff.

So I experienced a lot of supernatural stuff and it was kind of a little bit demonized about me when I was growing up.

But even my mom to this day will be like, yeah, you've always been kind of witchy.


From there, I stopped suffering from nightmares because I learned how to energetically protect myself.

And then I got into like I started reading like tarot, which I don't do like now as a profession for anything or I don't even have a deck right now.
