Pride y Fuerza means pride and strength. To me, it means having the courage to know yourself, take pride in who you are, and find the strength to become who you choose to be.
My Story
Spirituality has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I experienced things I didn’t have words for. I believed family members who had passed were communicating with me, and I had what others called “imaginary friends.” I didn’t fully understand those experiences then. I only knew they felt real to me. As I got older, I learned to keep those parts of myself quiet. Being “normal” seemed safer than talking about things other people might judge, dismiss, or fear. So, for a long time, I did. Then my friend Robby invited me to a tarot class, and something familiar came back to me. My mother had been incredibly good at reading cards. She didn’t even need a tarot deck. She could read ordinary playing cards. She never taught me, but when I finally sat down with tarot myself, it felt natural. Even the way I shuffled felt almost like muscle memory. That first class opened the door, and I ran with it. I wanted to understand tarot, not simply memorize card meanings. When I couldn’t find the instruction I was looking for, I stopped waiting for someone else to teach me. I studied. I practiced. I created my own tarot deck and companion book. I began developing my own Tarot 101 curriculum and eventually started creating an oracle deck. That is how I learn. I dive in. I question. I practice. I make mistakes. I keep going until I understand something well enough to make it my own. Then I teach it. Mediumship came into my life through my friend and mentor Matthew. He was the first medium I ever spoke with and the first to give me a mediumship reading. During that reading, I experienced what I understood as a connection with my grandmother, who had passed roughly twenty years earlier. Through Matthew, I received a message from her apologizing for not teaching me more and for not making sure I learned the ways of the craft. As Matthew became part of my life, he began recognizing things in me that I hadn’t learned to recognize in myself. He noticed when I was hearing or sensing something. Instead of telling me to ignore those experiences or shut them down, he helped me understand them, question them, and develop them. For perhaps the first time, someone was telling me it was safe to listen. That changed the way I saw myself. It also helped define the kind of space I wanted to create for others. That space became Pride y Fuerza.
How I Work
Today, my work includes tarot, mediumship, past-life regression, sound healing, psychic healing, spiritual development, and Reiki as I continue expanding my training and certifications. These practices are different, but the purpose behind them is the same. I help people. I’m also a teacher at heart. I might be shy walking into a room, but put me in front of people who genuinely want to learn and something shifts. The nerves disappear. My attention turns completely to the people in front of me and whether they are getting what they came to learn. I teach tarot, mediumship, meditation, connecting with guides, spiritual development, and other practices because I don’t want you to believe another person holds all the answers for you. A good teacher should help you become more confident in yourself, not more dependent on the teacher. I want you to ask questions. I want you to question me. I want you to practice, explore, learn what resonates with you, and develop your own understanding. I want you to learn to harness your power. That same philosophy shapes the way I read tarot. I don’t believe a card sentences you to a future. Tarot reflects the energy and circumstances surrounding you at the time of the reading. People change. Circumstances change. Decisions change. You change. Free will matters. If the cards show something difficult, we don’t surrender to it. We look at what is in front of us and ask, “What do we do with this?” If they show something beautiful unfolding, then we recognize it and keep the momentum going. Either way, your life remains yours. Pride y Fuerza means pride and strength. To me, it means having the courage to know yourself, take pride in who you are, and find the strength to become who you choose to be. I spent too much of my own life believing parts of me needed to stay hidden. I know what it feels like to question yourself because someone else might not understand you. I’m not doing that anymore. And I will never require you to make yourself smaller to feel welcome here. You don’t have to develop spiritual gifts because someone else thinks you should. You don’t have to believe exactly what I believe. You don’t have to fit anyone else’s definition of spiritual, witchy, psychic, or anything else. You get to decide. And if you decide you’re ready to explore, learn, heal, ask questions, or figure out what all of this means for you, you don’t have to do it alone. You have a safe place here.
