Who is Rain?

The answer to the question ‘Who am I?’ changes because it reflects my journey of becoming my authentic self – a journey of remembering me. The next time you meet me, I may introduce myself differently.

Recently, I came across the quote, ‘You’ve been somebody long enough. You spent the first half of your life becoming somebody. Now you can work on becoming nobody, which is really somebody. For when you become nobody, there is no tension, no pretense, no one trying to be anyone or anything. The natural state of the mind shines through unobstructed – and the natural state of the mind is pure love.’ – Ram Dass.

This really resonated with me, as I have gone from being a nobody and wanting to be somebody (as defined by our worldview) to realizing that I can be happy being a nobody and serving from this state.

So, who is Rain?

The word that comes to mind is nature. This may seem cliche because of my name, however, we are all part of nature and I have come to understand this on a deeper level now. I am grateful to have learned skills in many areas, such as coaching, facilitation, entrepreneurship, healing, spiritual direction, writing, speaking, serving on global associations, and more. I have also learned through experience how to be a mother, wife, sister, daughter, and friend. Now, I see myself as a part of our planet and universe, or rather, consciousness.

Nature is always growing, and this is true for me as well as I continue to live on this planet. Every being on this planet is related to me. When I look into your eyes, I see you, myself, and all of us.

In short, I am a relative of yours who remembers the beauty of our shared existence on this planet/universe and is grateful for our connection beyond this physical form. We exist because of consciousness, and therefore, we are all connected and one.

"My Story" Professional Bio

My Story

For a while, I saw myself as a successful entrepreneur.

However, when things became difficult in my relationship with my spouse, I realized that I had lost myself in the process of becoming a spouse and parent. I had become codependent on my partner and was so focused on my children that I neglected myself. I would often find myself crying in the bathroom, wondering why my life was this way and why I was not happy in my relationship. I felt exhausted, easily triggered, and frustrated with myself.

As I began to heal from my past traumas and let go of beliefs that no longer served me, I realized that my suffering was rooted in a childhood trauma where I was sexually abused. This experience robbed me of my self-worth and self-esteem for many years, making me feel dirty and broken. I had allowed it to affect many areas of my life, including my ability to have real relationships and be successful.

While it has not been easy, I am grateful for the opportunity to heal these deep wounds and embrace inner peace, joy, and love.

Through this process, I began to rediscover myself.

Many of my dreams began to become a reality. I learned that the key to success is to see the best in ourselves and take full responsibility for our lives and be willing to invest in ourselves and what matters most to us.

In 2013, my connection to Spirit deepened and I began to have spiritual experiences that my old self might have called crazy. The unseen world opened up to me and my connection with spiritual beings flourished. My intuition grew even stronger, allowing me to support the people I worked with in many ways. Graduates of my program told me that their connection to Spirit opened up after working with me, and some began to explore their spirituality. Many people also came to me for guidance and spiritual direction.

I have come to understand that our purpose in life is to learn about ourselves and, most importantly, about love. As your guide, my role is to reflect, witness, and show you that you have all the answers within you.
