Today we’d like to introduce you to Lynn Meyer.
Hi Lynn, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Hi! I am Lynn Meyer, and I am a mother, wife, author, and lover of vibrant colors. I am bold, courageous, passionate and a warrior, and I change lives for a living.
I believe it all started in childhood. At a very young age, the most traumatic event that you could imagine happened to me.
My story starts at the incredibly young age of 1 and 1/2 years old. I give that age because I know the abuse begin when I was a toddler. I was sexually abused by my biological father and my mother knew about it because she prepared my body for him.
Even though this was a tumultuous time, this experience was a catalyst for me to become who I am today.
I never knew I would be destined to help women heal from trauma.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a smooth road?
Obstacle free, ha. Smooth road, absolutely not. I am thankful for the challenges and the struggles. They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, well sometimes I didn’t want to be strong or didn’t know how strong I would have to be.
After enduring my childhood, I grew up being a teen, young adult, and grown woman that sabotaged opportunities, relationships, or myself. My past experiences taught me that chaos was normal, and dysfunction was the way of life. I operated in that way for many years. Because of my past hurt/pain I had a wall up that no could tear down. I pretended to have self-confidence. I didn’t like myself or love myself, so I chose habits and people that were not good for me. Other struggles that showed up in my life were no boundaries or lack of, people pleasing, staying in relationships too long, depression, anxiety, impulsive and reckless behavior. I was a mess. It’s like a couldn’t control the unhealthy ways. Though this was how my life was going I was able to turn it around. I am now a fierce, passionate, courageous, unstoppable, loving, and compassionate person.

What do you think about luck?
In life and business, I find myself being blessed with opportunities from intentional planning or “out of nowhere.” If I were to be honest, I believe it’s my personality that people are drawn to, some may call it luck, but I call it being chosen. This “luck” has afforded me multiple opportunities to meet influential people or even work with them. I realize I can have it all, love and being a business owner.
