Embarking on my journey to heal began with one pivotal decision—

To stop running and start grieving the multitude of losses endured over my lifetime. Growing up amidst a dysfunctional family system and facing an ongoing series of traumatic events stripped away the joys of my childhood, adolescence, and the nurturing essence of family, ultimately dimming my inner light..

For decades, my true self was concealed under layers of shame, guilt, and regret—emotions that never truly belonged to me. Like you, I knew there was a brighter version of me in there and she desperately wanted to break free from the muck she had felt stuck in for so long. Led by a deep curiosity, I slowly began to understand that the journey back me had to come from within - this was something I had to do. Navigating that challenging process has turned into the greatest passion of my life and reawakened the me beneath the trauma.

I’ve come to understand that It’s not been as much about what happened to me, but what I eventually chose to do with it.

Hi! I’m Morgan

Deeply exhausted by the life I had been living for so long, I hit a rock bottom about a decade ago and finally decided it was time to start getting curious about everything. Not only what they had done to me as a child but what I was doing to myself as an adult. I had to face the hard reality that nobody was coming to save me, it was up to me. It was time to take responsibility for my life & my deep well of grief and unhappiness.

This shift in thinking created a ripple effect that has continued to this day. Choosing to stop numbing out & start facing my trauma gave me gifts I never could have expected - it gave me my life back and a chance to rewrite my story. Now I’m passionately helping other survivors of family dysfunction and childhood trauma to do the same!

I’m also the creator of Rising Warrior Collective- a safe, inclusive and compassionate community for those who are navigating the complex repercussions of growing up in dysfunctional family systems. This space is the result of a decade of my own personal healing journey. I see you. I hear you. I understand you. And I’m so happy that you are here!

Growing up in a family marked by chaos and trauma, I once felt powerless, wondering why some lives seemed so much easier while mine was steeped in struggle at every turn. At a breaking point in my mid-30s, I faced a pivotal choice: accept the cycle and let it continue to steer my life or seek something different. Opting for curiosity over resignation, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

Through introspection and perseverance, I uncovered the roots of my family's pain and began to dismantle generational patterns of dysfunction. It wasn't easy. I battled self-doubt and old habits, but with each step, I reclaimed my identity and slowly began to rewrite my story.

Today, I stand as a testament to resilience, knowing firsthand the transformative power of facing trauma head-on. Though the road to healing has been anything but easy, it's one I walk with purpose and conviction. I've traded self-judgment for self-compassion, while rewriting my relationship with love, alcohol, and inner dialogue.

My journey is ongoing, marked by milestones and setbacks alike. But through it all, I've found strength in community and support. If you're on a similar path, know that you're not alone. Whether you're just starting or seeking to continue, I'm here to offer guidance and solidarity.

As I celebrate the evolution of my story, shedding old names and embracing new beginnings, I invite you to find inspiration in your own story as you journey toward healing. Together, we can navigate the complexities of trauma and emerge stronger on the other side.

    Working with Morgan was life-changing to say the least! She is real, raw, honest, and cares like no one I've ever met. Today I feel more attuned with my mind: I know what my body truly needs and I understand how to live more purposefully. There is a new calmness to my disposition which in itself feels pretty badass!

    My work with Morgan has been nothing short of transformational. I’ve learned so much about myself and my life, that I know I wouldn’t have learned with anyone else, or on my own. She coaches from a place of compassion and was genuinely passionate about my peace of mind. She listens intently not only to your words but also to what you’re revealing about yourself that you may not have noticed or realized. She sees a person’s gifts and capabilities and brings them to your awareness with gentle insistence.

    The wisdom and magic that Morgan brought into my life helped me to shift my energy and realize that so much of the clutter in my brain was rooted in my old stories and beliefs. Slowly, I learned how to give less attention to the things I cannot control and more to the things that bring me joy and happiness. I’m grateful for the internal peace and I’m truly enjoying my life.

    I am so blessed to have Morgan’s unconditional support. She helped me to finally feel like I was in the driver’s seat of my life. Before finding her, I spent months researching how to “fix myself.” Of all the things I tried nothing compared to Morgan’s 1:1 coaching. It has been the most rewarding investment and has changed my life. The friends I’ve sent to her feel the same!

6 IMPORTANT STEPS I HAD TO TAKE IN ORDER TO START HEALING

01. AWARENESS & ACCEPTANCE

The first step I took was to acknowledge the adverse childhood experiences I had and how they had impacted me. This involved recognizing and accepting the dysfunction within my family system and acknowledging the pain and trauma I experienced.

02. GRIEVE

Childhood trauma often leads to feelings of grief, anger, and other complex emotions. It was necessary that I allowed myself to feel and process these emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

04. LEARN NEW COPING SKILLS

I had to learn new coping skills to manage stress and emotions more healthily. This meant replacing old, self-destructive habits with strategies that foster resilience and well-being. With more mindful activities, I began to respond to life's challenges with clarity and calmness, empowering myself to move forward in healing.

05. SET BOUNDARIES

In order to protect my energy and well-being, I had to establish clear limits with others, advocate for myself and honor my needs. This involved learning to say no without guilt, recognizing relationships that required change, and understanding that healthy boundaries are a sign of self-respect, not selfishness.

03. LET GO OF WHAT WASN’T WORKING

I learned coping mechanisms as a child as a way to survive difficult situations, but as an adult they became maladaptive and interfered with my well-being and relationships. I had to let go of a lot in order to create space for what was next.

I realized deep into my healing that I couldn’t do it all alone nor should I. If I had to go back and do it all over again, I would take this step much sooner. Building healthy, safe & supportive relationships is an extremely important step in healing developmental trauma.

06. CREATE A NEW SUPPORT NETWORK

You are capable of so much more than you can even imagine- I’m here to help you see that.
