Introduction

Six years after her husband’s sudden death, Corina Taylor still felt the heaviness and deep pain of loss. As she embarked on a journey of self-discovery, every uncomfortable truth about herself, her relationships, the world she inhabited, and the systems and structures that silently governed her beliefs and behaviors slowly began to unravel, ultimately prompting the powerful realization that the death she was grieving was not her husband’s, but her own.

For many years she conformed to the roles and expectations society placed on her, listened to the “shoulds,” and became attached to stories that did not serve her. She lost herself in the process. As Corina began to look within, she learned how our systems distort our reality, mask our true nature and alter our behaviour in destructive ways.

Transformation

Once she stopped assuming systems are a given, she chose to interact differently with them or abandon them entirely. By seeing them for what they are, their power over her eventually dissolved, allowing her to reclaim her autonomy and freedom.
