Living Me Authentically: My Story

Sometimes life doesn’t crack you open to break you—
It cracks you open to set you free.

Hi, I’m Christie Dawn.

I’ve always been the black sheep—the one who couldn’t pretend, who felt too much, who craved something deeper than the surface.

I was married. I bought the house. I played the part.
And then life cracked me wide open.

In 2018, a car accident changed everything. I lived through relentless pain, lack of patience, over 300 treatments, and years of navigating a broken system that demanded I advocate for myself again and again. On top of that came heartbreak, and the unraveling of relationships I once thought would last forever.

The grief was raw. The rebuilding was messy. And yet, from the rubble, I remembered myself.

Over the last 17+ years, I’ve trained in modalities, sat in sacred spaces, and walked with seekers and healers from all walks of life. I’ve gathered tools, wisdom, and practices that helped me rise. Not from a neat, polished healing story—but from the gutting, the fire, and the choice to stand in my truth.

From that becoming, The Soul School was born—an umbrella for everything I now share.

✨ Living Me Authentically — more than a clothing line, it’s a movement. Every piece carries a message and a reminder: to live boldly, to walk your own path, and to honor the truth of who you are.

✨ Spirit Snugglers — a children’s book series currently being illustrated, created to help kids, parents and adults alike to understand their energy, emotions, and inner wisdom through story, play, and imagination.

✨ The Soul Apothecary — still in progress. It will hold the tools, nuggets, and embodied wisdom gathered along the way—offerings for healing, integration, and living soul-first.

It’s messy. It’s raw. It’s real. I don’t have it all figured out—but I know I’m aligned in sharing my passion projects with the world, one step at a time.

If you’ve been cracked open… if you’re still rising… if you’re rebuilding a life that finally feels like you—

✨ Welcome home.

With Clarity and Cayenne,
