About Me
My name is Violet Alchemy. I am your personal guide during your dark night of the soul; those dark days of transitioning from one stage of life to another. I’m here when you feel like giving up, to teach you to believe in yourself and trust your intuition. I will remind you to keep going and to look for the light.
My mission is to create a safe space to support each other in healing. I am a media producer who talks about uncomfortable things, in a comfortable way. I am sharing my story and what I have learned to show the normalcy of mental health issues, the effects of trauma and the messiness of healing and being human.
My Story
My professional background is in media production and digital marketing. I have a passion for self development, shadow work and healing emotional trauma. My education is in Psychology and Entrepreneurship. I am a writer, currently finishing my first novel that is the foundation for the stories being told in this web series – which are my stories of overcoming trauma and mental health disorders, while healing from immense emotional pain.
Healing Journey
My personal experience with life has been painful. I endured trauma throughout different stages of my life, which caused mental health disorders and loss of quality of life. I have personal experience with childhood neglect, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, traumatic life circumstances, poverty, illness, bullying, harassment, abandonment and lack of support and resources.
Along that path, I faced the discovery of, and then researching to understand: Depression, Anxiety, C-PTSD, ADHD, OCD and unlearning the coping mechanisms that I had to develop to survive. That took a lot of self reflection, honesty and humility.
Asking for help during those experiences was an impossible feat most of the time, due to personal restrictions and trying to navigate the mental health and medial system. Without help and support, these afflictions can feel overwhelming and unsolvable. But I fought to save myself.
Now
I majored in Psychology in college and studied mental health and behavior in my career, read books and articles, went to therapy, and did extensive research and continued education to find answers for myself. Now, I want to share with others in a way that is accessible without insurance or resources.
At the very least, give those who feel lost and alone a sense of reassurance that there is help within themselves. The goal is to collaborate with Mental Health organizations that are aligned with compassionate healing.
I found that even while searching for help and information, mental health resources are not easily accessible for everyone. Those who are lucky enough to have the resources to seek mental health treatment, have to first be aware that there is an issue that is tied to mental health or emotions.
Most of us were not educated about mental and emotional health; and these problems can cause misery in our lives without awareness.
This is a fun and entertaining way that will draw people in with relatable dark comedy. Then educate them on where they need to heal themselves and point them in the direction to resources.
I have the vision to bring people together to share their stories and advice on healing emotional pain and trauma, while normalizing mental health conversations that are less judgmental.
