About

Hi! I’m Maddie S.J., the writer and soul of this blog.

Here on Shifting Psyche, I share the knowledge and wisdom I learned over the years of seeking, healing, and transforming myself to live out my life purpose.

I believe that each person has a unique mission and the only way to bring about that is to submit to the process of healing and transformation, and be at our most authentic self.

My Life In A Nutshell:

I grew up in a poor family that believes life is all about becoming successful in terms of money and fame. So I decided to become an engineer, earned a fair amount of money to feed and dress myself but I wasn’t truly happy.

I knew that I was not being true to myself. Because since I was six, all I wanted is to be a writer.

In 2009 my desire to seek true happiness grew strong and led me to a rollercoaster ride of spiritual search. I became a diligent seeker of ‘what’s the meaning of life here on earth?’ and the journey to finding the answers led me to healing and transformation. 

And this is what I discovered: 

We all seek who we are, our authentic self and mission in life, but most of us choose not to listen to our guiding inner voice because of fear.

Fear of change. Fear of rejection. Fear of failing.

Fear of judgment based on how people see the world.

Fear of facing our demons because to realize the lies and truths of who we are is difficult to accept.

I went through all of these experiences: to shift from fear to love; from being what the world told me I should be into someone who knows her true calling. 

And through Shifting Psyche, I fulfill my mission as a writer where I share about the lessons I learned in personal growth, spirituality, relationships, mental health, and well-being. I would love to be a companion as you dare to be the person you are called to be.
