Sharing your story matters

Hello sisters,

This is my first post after months on World Pulse, but today is the day! ☺️ I am very grateful and inspired to be here with you all.

My name is Melisa, I'm 29 years old and for the last few years I have made it my mission to create safe spaces for women (online and live in Europe as I move around). I do this mostly in the form of Women's Circle, an ancient way of weaving the stories of women together.

A week ago I launched my podcast Alquimia Sagrada 🥳 (Spanish spoken), in which I share on alchemising our medicine as women. In the first episode I share my personal life story and how I transformed my pain into my medicine.

I have shared my story many times before, on my Youtube channel, on Social Media, but somehow my story keeps on asking me to be shared again and again, louder and louder. Messages from women thanking me for sharing my stories so openly keep on streaming. Paragraphs of text and audios, telling me how they shed tears and recognized their stories in my own. The shadows coming back to light.

It breaks my heart honestly that they recognize themselves in my story, but I know we need vulnerable and open hearted leaders to continue doing this work. To hold safe space for our stories to rise again to light. To heal ourselves, in order to heal the collective.

My personal story has taken a whole new meaning, it is not about me anymore, it is about us.
