I’m Shari – the voice behind The Soul Scribe! I’ve survived on this earth for thirty years and have spent the last five years of my life teaching adult learners and refugees English and employability skills. I grew up in Pembrokeshire, Wales, in one of the few Filipino families on our side of the Cleddau Bridge.
My life has been like a Greek odyssey and resulted in me spending three years working intensely to heal myself and childhood trauma I experienced. After a decade of flailing around with on-and-off depression and anxiety, ineffective therapy, and anti-depressant use, I felt like I was too broken to be fixed.
I hid my grief, pain, dysregulation, depression, rage, anxiety, and deep self-hatred and doubt behind a smiling mask that I presented as strong, knew who she was, and equipped with the Welsh wit and Filipina fire. Juggling these identities and mental loads became too much to bear and I knew that it was time to finally do something about it.
Who Is The Soul Scribe?
When I made the decision to change, it opened me up to spirituality – something I’d rejected my whole life because of the religious trauma I’d gone through. This time was different though. I combined my newfound faith in the universe with talking therapy and finally, I found the sweet spot of deeply profound healing.
Why Does The Soul Scribe Exist?
After spending a long time in hermit mode observing people on social media and in real life, it seems that many of us are looking for something real, authentic, and out of what we consider normal.
Many people are waking up to the realities of our outer world and their inner world, and from what I’ve seen, they’re struggling with this and are looking for meaningful guidance.
That’s where I come in! Consider me your big sister that you never had, who’s done all the crappy stuff so that you don’t have to.
A big sister who’ll hold your hand as you go through life with, hopefully, less suffering than I went through.
We all deserve to have somebody help us through complex things, especially undoing all the complicated knots of our childhood.
