The "Me" Behind Rebel Hearts

Heather Marie

Most of my life was spent hiding and burying my own heart. I kept trying to be something and someone I wasn't. It was awful! I led myself down a very dark path into depression, pill addiction, toxic and abusive relationships, and a general hatred for self. I knew something had to change, but I didn't know how to go about it or where to even start. I knew I wanted to live life; I was so tired of just surviving. So with a whole lot of Mom's encouragement, I decided I was going to change that...I decided I was going to love myself unconditionally and live my life.

There was a lot to process and even more to heal. I had much to learn, practice, and to let go of. In this, I started to get back into spirituality, but it was very slow. I had some deep religious wounding that kept me guarded and afraid of falling into any sort of dogma. I tended to isolate because the idea of spiritual groups just freaked me out.

In my isolated state of seeking my own healing I found oracle cards. They became one of my favorite resources for my learning, growing, and healing journey. I began to journal my card readings, while allowing myself to think about things differently, and question everything - my beliefs, my attitudes, my behaviors, my whole way of being.

Through my daily practice with cards and journaling, I stopped seeing myself through eyes of contempt and judgment. It was in this space that I finally saw a part of me that was naturally empathetic toward others; who sought to encourage and support them in their challenges, and who would offer to hold their hand through the darkness. I wanted to nurture that part of me. I wanted to bring this part of me out into the world.

So I became a Soul Coach.

It truly takes a Rebel Heart to unleash the chains and shackles we hold ourselves in, and step out of the cages and boxes that keep us merely "surviving" life.

It's the Rebel Heart that says "No more! No more fear. I choose to love, to live, and to be what I create myself to be," and then rise up, brush off, heal, grow, evolve, transform, and LIVE life!

"The Rebel Heart lives by its own compass with its true north set towards unconditional love." <3 Heather

Symbolism & Meaning

The death’s head moth is a symbol of death and rebirth.

I have a beautifully colored one tattooed on my back between my shoulders, which I had done after my divorce at age 40. This was a symbol of my death process in shedding the people and things in my life that did not bring love; to include my own beliefs, attitudes, and thoughts about myself and my life. It symbolizes my rebirth - in full color - to unconditional love; to healing, to growth, to my own soul’s evolution.

The crescent moon symbolizes intuition.

I learned early in life to tamp down my intuition and later learned to not trust it (even though it was always right, always trying to lead me in truth). This inner healing journey of mine has brought my intuition back to where it belongs - to the forefront as a guide, a protector, and a dream builder.

The fingerprint heart symbolizes the uniqueness of each one of us, of each heart - the Rebel Heart.

When I chose to learn how to love myself, it meant I was choosing how to learn how to follow my own heart in all its uniqueness, to learn how to live authentically from my heart, not my wounds.

The bright starburst symbolizes the light within us all.

To say I lived in the dark would be an understatement. Learning how to accept and live in my inner light meant I had to learn how to reopen my heart so that my light could touch my world.

The angel wings symbolize angels, of course!

It also symbolizes the unseen support we all have available to us.

I spent most of my life feeling utterly alone. When I began to build my connection with my angels, my ancestors, my guides, and my guardians, my world changed. There is no challenge I now face that I cannot do with confidence feeling held, loved, and supported.
