Serenity and Sonic Storytelling grew from my personal journey of healing and self-discovery. My parents loved me deeply and ensured my physical needs were met, but the emotional and mental dynamics of my upbringing were often challenging. As a result, I entered adulthood feeling anxious and insecure, searching for the sense of security that always seemed just out of reach.

After college, I gravitated toward the nonprofit sector, driven by an unspoken hope that easing others' pain might help me heal my own. But early in this journey, my body seemed to betray me, and chronic pain took center stage in my life.

For over a decade, I fought through the relentless pain

and the mental health struggles it brought with it.
