Hello! It’s Me, Claudine. This Is My Story.

Hi! I’m Claudine. I’m excited to share this new phase of my life with you.

I’ve had a career in the commercial real estate accounting field. But after fifteen years, I began to feel empty. I felt called to be of service and do more. While my profession did provide a nice living, I was not fulfilled spiritually. Awakening to my spiritual journey sparked the search for my life purpose. It’s been a tedious but enlightening process.

As I evolved, I learned and un-learned many things about love. The most important lesson is to love and honor yourself as you love and desire the man in your life to love you. I admit this is not something I always practiced. For this reason, I want to share what my experiences taught me. I know many women can learn from my message.

A New Beginning, A New Birth

My new path opened the year of 2020. It’s amazing how a pandemic can cause you to retrospect and assess the future. We’ve had so much to do while confined, didn’t we? I suppose it’s fair to say I manifested this. At the start of the new year, I was determined to create something of value. I meditated and prayed on it. One day, I gave birth to Goddess Reverence™.

To embody Goddess Reverence™ is to self-revere. How can you hope for a man to respect you if this is not something you exude each day? You’re thinking “Ok Claudine, this is basic knowledge!”. On a fundamental level it’s true. While she may know this, it’s not easy for a woman who’s scarred. That’s why I want to work with two specific women who share something in common. One is often disapproved and known as the side chick, the jump off, the mistress or the other woman. The latter is the woman who’s too open and too giving. Men find her unimportant and easy to use. Both women are insecure and have a low view of their worth. They are vulnerable and yearn for someone to love. The men in their lives are unattainable and emotionally unavailable to them. I know the pain of dealing with a man who’s unreachable.

Acceptance And Emerging

It can be a hard pill to swallow to acknowledge you accepted things you should not have just to be loved. This is a heavy secret to carry alone to hide from family and friends. Who wants to be judged? Yet it’s true and I allowed men to take me for granted. They were inaccessible to me with their time and emotions. I was the one who loved them too deeply. After a long period of soul searching, I shed this hurt woman’s skin off my back. I found the root of my problem. I redirected my love to me and healed my wounded self-esteem. I’m now free. Unavailable men are no longer part of my life. I take a stance to be offended when a married man approaches me.

If we’d been friends for years, you’d know that I’m assertive and tell it like I see it. I aspire to live my life on my terms and I’ve always been in love with love. Somehow, I too often muted my voice in my relationships. Even for me, it was difficult to understand. Was I worried I’d lose the men’s attention and scare them away? Perhaps. While I’m a hopeless romantic, I was never the type to need a man or to be in a relationship at all times. But, when I fell in love, I fell hard and let my emotions lead me. I long believed that if a man saw how much I love he’d reciprocate. In hindsight, my shattered inner child wanted to prove to her daddy she was worthy of his love.

Sympathizing With The Source Of My Pain

It took years before I realized this began with my relationship, or lack thereof, with my father. I was daddy’s little girl for only the first five years of my life. I couldn’t tell you why. He was in my home until I was twenty-two and I’ve never told him that I love him. There was always something disingenuous about saying “I love you, Papi”. In contrast, I’ve been a mama’s girl since the day I was born. I easily tell my mother that I love her every day. That experience is sincere.

I watched my parents live through a toxic marriage for more than twenty years. It was damaging and not a good first example of what a loving relationship between a man and a woman should be. Pair that with an “emotionally-absent” patriarch. Pause a moment. Imagine. Try to feel it. Can you see how low my self-esteem was? No one taught me how to properly receive love. After a while, I came to terms with that reality and that I’d endured for love because of it. That’s all I knew, from my father to my parents’ model. That’s harsh. To be honest, neither grew up surrounded by beautiful couples in love to emulate. You can’t teach what you don’t know.

Healing And Winning

I wish I’d have a beautiful relationship with my father. It’s non-existent. Because of this, I cry during the father and daughter dance at weddings. This will always affect me. Today, I’m clear this is the source of the unhealthy love pattern I’ve followed until I began healing. This process is grueling. You relapse and you uncover layers of yourself you never knew existed. But it’s necessary. To overcome it, you must go through it.

Everyone has a story. I want to know yours. I’m in no position to cast stones. If your story resembles mine, I would love to work with you. I was fortunate to find great support from a beautiful soul as I navigated through my journey to grow and heal. I don’t know if I would have matured as I have without it. I want to provide the same. Goddess Reverence™ exists in you too. You are a goddess. You’re a warrior. You’ve had to conquer a lot. Now’s the time to unleash your inner goddess and revere her. Once you do, I promise you will begin to dispel all the unavailable men who come your way. I have so much for you to discover. You deserve better and all that your heart desires.

Words To Uplift

I want to leave you with the words below. Let them inspire you:

“I’m Goddess Reverence™ because I love myself as I desire to be loved. I deserve the love I give”.

“I’m Goddess Reverence™ because I honor the woman I am. I’m a warrior who’s overcome adversity. I’m a powerful force because of it”.

“I’m Goddess Reverence™ because I respect myself. I teach others how to treat me. They return the regard and compassion I show them”.

I’m Goddess Reverence™ because I’m high on confidence. I love to turn heads and the attention I receive but I don’t need outside validation to define me”.
