About a decade ago, I imploded my life.  I left my marriage of 16 years.  I left my job as a counselor, my home, my friends, and every ounce of control I thought I might have in my future.  I struggled for about a decade trying to find a compass for who I wanted to be.  

From my earliest memory, I felt pressure to make things easier for others.  When I strayed away from my people-pleasing ways to try to satisfy my own desires, I was quickly shut down.  From these experiences, I perceived that my desires weren’t important and I obediently sought approval above knowing and honoring myself. 

Although I recognize I had a “good” life, I spent much of it feeling angry, frustrated, and invisible.   

I left this sad existence behind by rediscovering my sensuality and allowing it to increase my joy, my confidence, and my creativity.  I conceived Just Daina to explore my sense of self and in this exploration I found my power and, ultimately, my worthiness. 

I am excited to share my discoveries with anyone who is looking for inspiration to transform, and may want the fuel of sensuality to ignite the flames of vibrance in their lives.
