Meet Lanae Sage

I'm Lanae Sage, a mother, an entrepreneur, a visionary, a creator, and a woman who can finally say with confidence, I LOVE BEING ME. But getting to this place in my life was a journey filled with experiences that challenged me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. For as long as I can remember, dating back to my teenage years, I struggled with my mental health. Later in life, I was diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety, which helped me better understand some of the challenges I had experienced over the years. There were periods when I didn't have the understanding, tools, or support I needed to navigate what I was going through. I made mistakes, experienced difficult seasons, and faced battles that weren't always visible to the people around me. But through it all, one thing remained constant: my faith in God never wavered. Even when I couldn't understand my circumstances, I believed there was a greater purpose for my life.

In the fall of 2021, after experiencing significant personal challenges, I reached one of the lowest points of my life. I had a serious mental health breakdown that became a turning point in my story. As that year came to an end, I made a commitment to myself: I was going to make my mental health, my peace, and my personal well-being a priority. In 2022, I began one of the most intentional chapters of my life. I stepped away from work, social gatherings, television, music, and many of the distractions that had occupied my time. I created space to focus on myself. I immersed myself in books, audiobooks, seminars, courses, and the teachings of influential voices such as Les Brown, Lisa Nichols, Rev. Ike, Abraham Hicks, Dr. Eric Thomas, Sonia Ricotti, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Tony Robbins, Oprah Winfrey, and many more. I learned from personal mentors and from people I considered mentors through their teachings, even though we'd never met. YouTube University became my virtual classroom , giving me access to wisdom, lessons, and perspectives that often made me feel as though I had my own personal coaches guiding me along the way. Every day became an opportunity to learn something new about myself, challenge old thought patterns, strengthen my faith, and practice a different way of living.

The year 2022 marked the beginning of the best years of my life. I began practicing self-preservation in ways I never had before. I established boundaries and, more importantly, learned to honor them. I examined my habits, relationships, environment, and the choices I was making. I became more conscious of who and what I allowed access to my life. I embraced meditation, solitude, celibacy, spiritual development, and intentional living. During this time, I got to know myself on a level I never had before. I gained a clearer understanding of who I was, what I valued, and the woman I wanted to become. I became intentional about nearly every aspect of my life, from the people I surrounded myself with to the books I read, the content I consumed, and the activities I participated in. I began making decisions from a place of self-awareness rather than simply going with the flow. And while so much about my life was changing, I wasn't becoming someone else. I was becoming more conscious of who I had always been. I still carried the same personality, energy, and spirit, but now I had a deeper understanding of myself and a clearer vision for my life.
