You are enough exactly as you are. Everything you have endured has brought you to this moment. You can be born again from the ashes, stronger than ever. Love yourself. Don’t just think it. Know it. In your bones. Let your nervous system relax. You are safe in this moment. Those bad men are just ghosts now. Those flames are just shadows. Everything you lost will remain alive in your heart forever. You did good. You survived. But it’s time to rest now. You don’t have to sleep with one eye open. You don’t have to flinch when someone gets mad. You don’t have to be perfect or try to save everyone. Today, write “I AM ENOUGH” on the inside of your wrist and touch it every hour. Hold your hand on your heart tonight, allow yourself to be held by the universe, and whisper the words “you’re safe now” to yourself. Fall asleep knowing you are going to rise from the ashes, more powerful than ever.

Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, healing from trauma reveals the strength and beauty hidden within, transforming pain into powerful new wings ready to soar.

My name is Kristina aka Wavy Purple, Chicken Little, and the Purple Phoenix. I suffer from C-PTSD from assaults, abuse, abandonment, two house fires, and the deaths of my sister and former partner. I don’t have all the answers. I’m not your guru. I’m healing too. But I know what works for me, and I would be honored to share that with you.

It would be my privilege to help guide you through the next chapter of your healing journey.

Welcome to the tribe.

I am super excited about the future of The Purple Phoenix Collective. Message me if you want to help, contribute your art, music, and poetry, or just talk. You have found a community of kindred spirits. Let’s do this together.
