Meet Colleen Lemma

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Colleen Lemma. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Colleen , we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
Developing my confidence and self-esteem has been an ongoing journey in this life. And, it is one that continues to unfold every moment of every day.

I was born into a family with issues of addiction, abuse and disempowerment. My father was an alcoholic, often exhibiting anger and dissatisfaction with life. My mother was set in the victim role…timid and afraid to stand up for herself. Needless to say, this negatively affected my confidence and self-esteem.

As I went through my formative years, I experienced low self-esteem, depression and negative self-worth. But, as I was nearing my college years, I decided to start the healing process by choosing to study and gain a degree in psychology and social work with a focus on counseling and substance abuse. This led me to work in the area of domestic violence and sexual abuse for many years, assisting women and children to reclaim their power and heal from the various kinds of abuse that they were subject to. This event was empowering for me…to gain a degree and establish work in a field with the very energy that disempowered me in the first place.

After seven years of working at two different domestic violence shelters, and operating in almost every role there, I worked for three years in the area of advocacy for those with disabilities. I assisted people in starting different kinds of support groups, from addiction recovery, to parents of children with a terminal disease, to sexual abuse, and many, many others. I was in a role where I was helping people, help others.

Both of these time periods in my life were not only healing for those I worked to assist, but also brought healing to me in the area of self-confidence and self-esteem, because I was supporting others in a way that I was not supported while growing up.

After that my life seemed to be divinely led into a new area of work. It was still work that supported and assisted people in their healing process, but in a different way. I was guided into new studies and became certified in hypnosis, past life regression, Reiki, crystal healing, astrology and numerology. With each new thing I learned, it was like learning about my true self…my Divine and Infinite Self. I became a Spiritual Coach and Teacher and guided many others on their healing journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

This new redirection in my life brought further healing to me…helping me to develop more confidence in myself and increasing my sense of self-worth, because I was helping to guide others to heal from some of the same challenges that I went through in my earlier years.

But, ultimately, I could not rely on what I was doing for others to increase my self-confidence and self-esteem. That had to come from inside myself, for myself. As individuals, we are the ones that are responsible for how we feel. Yes, certain situations in life can weigh us down emotionally and affect us, but it is what we do with that energy from those circumstances that matters most…it is how we perceive it, work with it, and allow it to motivate us into reclaiming our inherent strength, autonomy and inner power.

Will these challenging situations in life be what holds us back? Or, is it the very thing that will support us in shifting into an undeniable confidence in ourselves, and a knowing that we are worthy and deserving of manifesting the experiences, joy and success in life that we desire? It is a choice to shift our perspective, and it is a choice to take back our power. It is the choice I continue to make each day, and each time I do, my self-esteem and confidence continues to grow a little bit stronger.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
For over 25 years, I have been an intuitive reader, astrologer, numerologist, Reiki Master, spiritual teacher, certified in hypnosis and past life regression. I am here to assist people on their journey of evolution, growth, and healing through spiritual guidance and sharing of messages from the Higher Realms.

I work with the Archangels, Ascended Masters, Star Family, and Ancestors of the Highest Vibration of Light to bring about empowerment in a person’s life. I utilize a unique combination of Astrology, Numerology & Divination Cards to blend a person’s astrological birth chart, soul’s name vibration, and connecting with one’s personal angels and guides. I am able to assist my clients in understanding past blocks or subconscious patterns that may be preventing them from experiencing their true potential in life.

From the time I was a child I always wanted to help people. This led me to getting my degree in social work and psychology. With my early education and work background, combined with my innate intuitive abilities and insight, I am able to assist and guide people towards the answers and solutions that will connect them with their Divine Spiritual Truth and inner sense of empowerment.

I was in my late 20’s when a series of events happened in my life that changed the course of my life forever. It was a very difficult time period, both personally and professionally, but a time that I know now was Divinely Guided by my angels and guides to put me on my True and Proper Path. Today I am following my passion and doing what I love. I am grateful to be assisting others, like yourself, who may be in a time of awakening to their True Spiritual Essence and Divinity! We are all co-creators with God/Goddess/Source/Universal energy within us.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
I believe that three very important qualities for me are patience, persistence and faith.

Sometimes things happen according to Divine Timing and not your timing. There is a plan for your life, but you have to believe in yourself and have the patience, persistence and faith to take every step that will lead you towards your goals. Do not give up on your dreams…your patience will be rewarded. Stay focused on your aims and take a step by step approach. Trust your inner guidance and intuition, as faith in yourself will lead you forward on your journey in manifesting your dreams.

Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
There is not just one person that has helped me on my journey. It has been a collaboration over the years of many teachers, friends, and fellow Light Workers who have assisted me in overcoming challenges and developing the skills, qualities and knowledge that I now use in my spiritual work. I thank each and every one of them for the priceless wisdom and support that they have shared with me, that has guided me to the place where I am now.

It is also the relationships that I have developed with my Higher Soul Self, my angelic team and spiritual helpers on the higher planes. These connections support me just as strongly as any person that I have met. I thank these divine beings of Light for their presence in my life.
