My story…
Hi, I’m Pia Lindgren and I’m so glad you’re here…
I have spent my whole life trying to answer a voice in me saying, “There’s got to be more than this.” Trying to fill an emptiness inside me so that I could be complete, the way I knew I should be. I just could not put my finger on what was missing.
From the outside, I had it all. I made money. I drove fast cars. I had big houses. I had a partner, a child, and my own family. I was a lover, a mother, a wife, a business owner, and a successful entrepreneur at the helm of an iconic franchise brand!
Deep down, though, I felt like a fraud. I was isolated and lonely, like I was on the outside of life looking in. Because I was raised by narcissistic parents, I kept defaulting to people-pleasing and attracting narcissistic people in my life, which left me feeling utterly confused. To reach that point where you’ve got everything and to STILL have the voice that said, “There’s got to be more,” was truly heartbreaking.
I spent literally hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to find answers to fill the void. I worked with the most luminous minds in Australia and overseas from the fields of personal development, nutrition, metaphysics and different wisdom traditions.
I studied:
….meditation and mindfulness with the world’s most renowned spiritual teachers, including Zen Master Genpo Roshi, Eckhart Tolle, Dr Joe Dispenza, and the ancient eastern sages of Advaita Vedanta
…energy work and chakras
…quantum physics and human behaviour with Dr. John Demartini
…psychosomatic therapy with Herman Muller
…the body-mind connection with Dr. Peter Levine and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk
…and much more (let’s just say my quest for answers led me far and wide, and I didn’t spare any money or time!).
These were all fascinating and intriguing and helped to an extent. But the feeling of “something’s missing” and “everyone else has the life manual but me” continued to haunt me.
It actually took me decades to find the missing piece, which was facing up to the truth of my upbringing.
To be brought up by not one, but two narcissistic parents, led me to a vicious and destructive cycle of people pleasing and addictions (including TV, food, relationships, work and yes, personal development seminars!)
It was by hitting rock bottom and feeling the human-ness of my journey that it all fell into place.
What I finally realised is that Love is the creative force and very Origin of Life. The funny thing is, it’s within us all along. It is now my greatest joy to share what I’ve learned with anyone who’s yearning to discover the Truth!
