The Path That Led Me Here
My Story
I was taught to accept change and transformation from a very early age. You see my father was a store leader for K-mart/S.S. Kresge back in the day. It was my father's job to take a store that wasn't doing well and within the course of a year, transform it into a well managed and successful enterprise with a happy staff, satisfied customers and profitability.
What this meant for me was that growing up we moved every year. My dad would come home one day and announce our next move. Thankfully this typically occurred during the summer months so I wasn't switching schools during the school year, but this did often mean that the friends that I had just left and thought I would see again, would not being seeing me in the fall.
I began my adaption to transformation and change, getting very used to the process of moving, the planning for it, the change itself, and the settling in to what was the new reality and how to make that new reality a successful or joyful one.
Transformation is an Opportunity
Fast-forward to my mid-thirties
Finding myself standing in the self-help section of a bookstore in San Francisco. I was on a business trip.
I stood there wrestling with questions about my life. Was this all there was? Was I just meant to put my head down and work all the time, raise my kids to be good people and then one day hope to retire? And do what I wondered?
I had dreams, France, leaving the world a better place than I found it, being of service to the world in some way....
I chose a book that looked interesting and thus began my journey in personal growth and transformation. My journey of questioning everything that I had been taught about life and my role in it.
Fast forward to my early forties
Divorced and working abroad, exploring. A friend asked me to attend a workshop with her that was being put on by a shaman that she was working with at the time. I said yes, not knowing even the name of the workshop. It turned out to be the South Work, the initial course of the Medicine Wheel, the initial year of introduction into Peruvian Shamanism.
That weekend course, changed me.
During that course, I became aware of my connection to all things, not just aware of it but able to viscerally feel that connection.
My last 20 years of study in Shamanism, energetic healing, intuitive practice, the study of polarities, working with my own guides and soul voice has changed how I navigate my own life and how I interact with all around me.
My Own Transformation
In 2024, after confronting my own fear of choosing my dream and moving to France, I began to recognize more and more how I have been living two different lives.
On one path, I have had an extremely successful corporate consulting career. On the other path, I have been on this deeply, meaningful spiritual journey. On both paths their exists a very powerful version of myself. On both paths their exists a version of myself that is in service to others.
However in making the leap to move to France, I recognized that I have maintained these two versions of myself, neatly separate out of fear that if I intertwined them that I would end up ruining them both. Or if I chose one and let the other go, there was fear in that too.
As I sit here today in my home in Provence, I feel like I am being pushed, pulled, prodded to move out of the proverbial closet so to speak and declare my real work in the world.
My Purpose
My purpose is to utilize all of my intuitive and spiritual gifts to help others to take their own leap. To pursue whatever it is that they dream of, even when they don't have all the answers, there are no guarantees and they are being asked to step off that cliff when they can't see if there will be a step to land on but knowing beyond all else that if they take that leap of faith, that they will be all the better for having done it.
The surprise that I have found after making that leap, it that you gain confidence for the next leap and the next...
Each leap teaches us to trust ourselves more and more.
It is my sincere hope that hearing my story inspires you to choose your own dreams, take your own leap of faith.
Please contact me if I can be of service.
NOTE: I began blogging in 2020 under the pen name Renee Jenais which loosely translates in French to Renee I am born! Renee Jenais will continue to be the name I write under for the blog and will be the name of my YouTube channel but in the interest of complete transparency I wanted to make this connection here to avoid any confusion.
