Surviving This Tower Moment

I am a proudly bisexual, disabled Chicana and professional do-gooder originally from Pueblo, Colo. After twenty years working in public policy, law, and nonprofits where burnout nearly cost my life, I opened Rose Connections in 2020 to share my gifts in a more authentic, accessible, and integrated way. I am here to help emerging heart-centered leaders create a more loving, just, and trauma-informed world.As a former social justice attorney, mediator, and policy advocate, law school never prepared me for how to manage the suffering I would encounter in my work or how dangerous it would be for my clients to navigate interpersonal trauma and the revolving door of systemic social harm.I once believed that I could only heal the world by changing the laws or winning someone's disability case. Instead, it came through how I served people - by meeting them where they were, and by connecting to our shared humanity. In using my intuitive gifts as a writer, educator, and mystic, I found that I could serve the deeper interconnectedness between us all by showing up as my authentic self.I have been reading tarot cards privately for friends and charity events since 1995. In 2020, I started reading tarot cards publicly on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and my blog, SharpSweetBella.com. In 2021, I became a Reiki practitioner to better channel the healing work I had been doing privately for years. I am also writing a historical fantasy series about an interconnected family of souls connected through time and space with previews available on my Patreon along with full and new moon readings.Check out more at: https://www.rose-connections.com
