My mother was a narcissist, and my father — a well-known CEO and businessman — abandoned us when I was just 10 years old.
Shortly after, I was sent away to boarding school, where I stayed until I was 18. My father never came back.

At home, my mother’s narcissism and borderline personality disorder shaped everything.
Her silent treatments, manipulation, twisted truths, and lack of empathy dominated my childhood.
There were no boundaries. No emotional safety.
I lost my confidence. I second-guessed every move.
I grew up feeling responsible for her emotions and guilty for simply being myself.

As a child, voicing a different opinion meant punishment — usually silence and withdrawal of love.
So as an adult, saying “no” felt terrifying. Speaking up felt dangerous.
I became scared of everything. I lived in constant hypervigilance.

It took a serious toll on my health — I struggled with stomach issues and years of insomnia.
As time passed, her behavior grew worse. The pain became harder to ignore.

At the age of 35, something shifted.
I remember the exact moment I realized: She lied.
All those times she said, “I never said that,” I thought, But I heard it. I was there.
That moment changed everything.

I left behind my career in finance and followed my heart.
I created The Kids Kindness Project — a foundation that worked with foster children in Miami for many years.
It brought me so much healing to remind those children that they matter, that they are loved, and that they are never alone.

Eventually, I went back to school and now hold a Certificate in Global Mental Health: Trauma and Recovery from Harvard University.

Today, I’m living a life beyond my wildest dreams.
I have a loving husband, two incredible children, and a deep passion for helping others heal.

I wake up with peace in my heart, energy in my body, and trust in myself.
I finally know what’s right and what’s wrong — something that once felt completely unclear.

I can speak my truth.
I can say no without fear.
And most importantly, I believe in myself.

Now, I’m here to walk beside others on their healing journey — because no one should have to go through it alone.

With love,
Alexandra
