Taking Back My Life!™
The trauma resulting from sexual assault impacts across all areas of life.
Taking Back My Life!™ is an online life transformation program for individuals who have experienced sexual assault and who are ready to reclaim their fullest authenticity, personal power and happiness.
Your worth was never lost.
Taking Back My Life!™
One of the common impacts of sexual trauma for many people is the tendency to settle for what you’ve got in life – in your relationships, education, career, finances, degree of happiness and personal fulfillment. Because “stirring the waves” can feel like you're drawing too much attention to yourself leaving you feeling unsafe.
As a spiritual counselor and life coach, Dr. Cari has witnessed this impact in the lives of countless women and men, girls and boys. She also knows this because she is a survivor of sexual assault and has seen this impact in her own life.
That's why she developed Taking Back My Life!™ more than 20 years ago to help as many women and men as possible begin their healing process and their liberation much sooner than she did in her own life.
In TAKING BACK MY LIFE!™, you will:
Identify beliefs and narratives that limit your fulfillment and happiness
Envision and realize your life on purpose and in power
Recognize and break through your patterns of self-sabotage
Reclaim inner power to live your life with fierce love
Claim respect for your full human dignity
