Today we’d like to introduce you to Amila Dulic.
Hi Amila, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
At 15 years old I left the typical teen’s classroom setting and enrolled in a collegiate program offered by DCCCD, where I jam-packed my schedule for two years in order to earn the credits needed; by 17, I walked the stage at Richland College, and graduated with my High School diploma and Associates degree.
I immediately kicked into overdrive, enrolling at the University of Texas in Arlington where I was rapidly working towards going back to where it all began… the high school classrooms. By the age of 19, I had earned my education degree, become State certified, and finally took a walk through the halls of a local DFW Charter school on my first day as a High School English teacher.
From a young age, I was obsessed with the concept of teaching, and as I grew up in the GISD school district, I felt like there was so much more that could be done. I was extremely aware as a child and teenager, witnessing a lot of the students around me struggling not only to find their place but to survive what we all were told would be “the best days of our lives.” I had to go back to try and be the light that I needed during that, realistically, tough time period in my life.
However, I only spent three years teaching before I had to end my career short because I felt like I couldn’t do all that I needed to do for my students, who became my kids. Strangely enough, they were just a few years younger than me… but the connection we built went further than literature and grammar; my classroom became a place of joy and learning about life in a way that would remind my students that they were being heard.
Unfortunately, my inability to change an entire education system, and the obvious State requirements to follow a strict curriculum, led me to realize that teaching high school wasn’t where I was going to be able to make the difference I wanted to make in the world. It helped that around that time, my husband was entering his own business venture and needed some assistance.
Through the process of what I had dedicated so much time, love, and energy into, I began to fall into an extremely dark place. My body became chronically ill, dealing with Fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression. I felt like I had failed as a teacher, and for a few months, my life was at a constant rock bottom. I was now building a company from scratch in the transportation industry, which interested me absolutely none… so I turned to social media in July 2020 to find an outlet.
I began posting about my healing journey online, creating content with my “teacher brain” always turned on, in hopes that someone online would connect to it. Through this process, I gained an intuitive connection to not only myself but others. I began channeling information and insight that helped connect not only energy healing, but soul healing on a level of communication and writing.
Over the course of two years, I had built a community of 3,000 followers on my Instagram page Soul Healing with Amila, and by March of 2022, I was having private sessions with people from all over the world just… talking. About life, about healing, and about how to shift the subconscious mind and grow.
And now by November 2022, I have built a community of over 60,000 followers with whom I help through energy healing, intuitive writing, and creative posts online. Soul Healing with Amila has become a public, safe, online healing space that I encourage anyone I meet to become involved in. It has turned into an online classroom, where comment sections are filled with strangers all over the world sharing their stories and healing.
I’ve recently also began a blog, the Soul Healing Essays, where I am sharing creative writing tidbits of my experiences, stories, and the information I’ve gathered along the way that may help someone else on their personal journey.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It has definitely not always been a smooth road, whether we’re talking about the road to self-discovery or the road to having an online presence. I definitely did not begin my account Soul Healing with Amila thinking that I would surpass 50,000 followers, however the more I discovered myself, the more I was discovered by the Spiritual community on Instagram. With that, though, there has been many naysayers, as well.
We’ve fallen into an era in society of “identifying” with our traumas, and there is a mass understanding that “healing is toxic positivity.” People, in general, have become accustomed to victimizing themselves and completely failing to see their ability to change their life circumstances. When some random 26-year-old girl comes around and suggests that you can use your mind and heart to completely heal and change your entire life, it can come off as offensive to someone who is in that dark place.
And… I went through it, myself. There’s a constant shove and pull in the industry of self-healing (and having an online presence, in general) but I am constantly connecting with people all over the world to hear the different sides and perspectives.
Ultimately, we’re all here on this journey together… to learn, to grow, and to help one other. And regardless, all of the struggles have been divinely led and I’m so grateful for them all because they have given me an opportunity to grow into something that I didn’t think I could ever become.
I went from being chronically ill, depressed, anxious, lost in a career path in a struggling marriage… and today, I am healthy, thriving, and helping others do the same.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
In the online Spiritual Healing community, I am known for my creative writing, demonstrative teaching style, and Beige aesthetic. The Soul Healing with Amila Instagram page is completely filled with quotes, diagrams, examples, creative videos, personal stories, informative graphics, and more… in a completely neutral, beige, brown theme.
The most frequent messages and comments I get from people are, “just looking at your page soothes me,” or “reading your words helps slow my mind down.”
I have an extremely technical writing style and approach online Healing exactly how you would expect a sensitive, intuitive, ex-English teacher would.
Just as the parents of my prior high school students (many much older than me in age) would be so surprised by the bond and authoritative, yet extremely connected, relationships I’d build with their children, I have now connected with people of all ages and countries and become their healing mentor and friend. Some even call me “mama bear,” but we can blame that on my Astrological makeup. (I’m a Cancer if that means anything to you.)
I’m a total softy with an extremely protective shell, but my primary focus is helping people raise their consciousness so that they can connect to their hearts- and that is what I’ve dedicated my online work and posting to.
What are your plans for the future?
As of now, I’m working on a few different creative projects with fantastic individuals from all around the World- currently, as far as Poland. I would also love to begin a Podcast and share my voice, story, and intentions for collective healing on a greater scale. My biggest dream would be to return to schools and speak to students, almost as a “life and skill building” representative. Because I’ve met with a few different celebrity clients, I’ve recently begun offering “travel healing” and speaking to large groups, as well, and have been planning to focus on those offers more frequently, too.
The biggest changes that are coming to Soul Healing with Amila brand is my upcoming branding redesign, where I will show more of my identity and speak the words that I have been channeling and writing up to this point. I’ve been asked by many people following me and working with me, to share my messages and face with the world more often, and to share more about my own story and not just the teaching aspect.
Before I began considering this, I wanted to simply focus on the messages. I didn’t come online to become famous, known, or admired… I simply wanted to teach, heal, and create a safe space for people to remember their true power as I was remembering my own. I wanted to share the healing journey with people online… but as I found myself reaching new heights and levels, it became a responsibility and duty to those online to share the messages I was intuitively receiving.
On multiple posts, I have reached over 5 million impressions and accounts reacher… And from March 2022 – now, I’ve gained almost 60,000 followers.
I’ve recently come to realize that I do have a greater message to share, so for the future, I am planning on creating a greater online presence and following my calling!
