A Daughter's Plea
Letters To My Mother

What is a woman to do when all she’s ever wanted was a happy, healthy family of her own, but now has nothing left to screw up? She has two choices: she can give up completely or start choosing herself, one day at a time. That’s exactly the choice Kimberly Sigurdson made: to heal, moment by moment. Growing up amid dysfunction, anger, and emotionally unavailable parents, Kimberly soon lost her voice and became a people pleaser. As she grew older, this led to dysfunctional relationships, where she put others’ needs before her own and made unhealthy choices. She felt stuck and unworthy and struggled with low self esteem. When an autoimmune disease flare-up landed her in the hospital at thirty-seven, Kimberly decided it was time to change her life. As her healing journey progressed, she found writing helped her release her thoughts and feelings and allowed her to share with the people she needed to. As Kimberly healed from her past, her letters changed. Her growth mindset provided a path to evolution, and she grew from writing from a place of self-pity to writing from a place of feeling grateful and empathetic to those who had hurt her. Follow Kimberly on her healing journey as she realizes it was never about not being good enough. Learn alongside her as she discovers that the way people treat others reflects how they feel about themselves and what they’ve been through in their own lives.

Kimberly J. Sigurdson has been a nurse’s aide for twenty years, working in complex care facilities and as a home support worker. In addition, for over six years, she cared for special needs adults who lived with her family. She also moved her grandparents into her home and spent a year looking after her grandmother there. Growing up in a dysfunctional home has affected her well into her adult life. When she began her own healing journey, she made a huge choice to change her life for the better. Over the past six years of growth and healing, Kimberley first worked with a Vedic somatic healer, then became one herself, in addition to being a Mindfulness coach. Her writing is inspired by her meditation, yoga, energy healing, and Vedic somatic healing. Kimberly lives in Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, on beautiful Vancouver Island, with her fiery and tenacious, youngest daughter and two gorgeous labs. She is also blessed with another daughter and a son she is extremely proud of; who are both well on their way of accomplishing big things! She enjoys hiking, meditation, spending time with good, positive people, dancing, listening to music of all kinds, doing intuitive readings for others, making videos of guided messages she receives, baking sourdough bread, and making other fermented foods.
