Today we’d like to introduce you to Mio Santana.
Hi Mio, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
When I was 4 years old, my mom and dad separated and I not only believed it was my fault but that I wasn’t lovable enough for my dad to stay. I started life feeling dejected and confused about my worth.
Once I started dating, I subconsciously began looking for validation from my partners to show me that I was good enough and this was a losing battle from the start because I believed I was broken. As time progressed, I looked to them more to give me the security I never received from a father.
So I was the girl with “daddy issues,” and those daddy issues filled my mind with so much toxicity that my relationships wouldn’t last. My love life was like a turn-style entrance at a mall. I was so desperate to find deep love and acceptance in someone, yet nothing I did work.
This feeling of unworthiness seeped into my academics, jobs, and friendships and what I didn’t know then is that I was living in a hell that only existed in my mind and that I had the power to change it.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Along my journey, I tried everything you can think of from yoga, psychological therapy, and medications to life coaches, books, and Buddhism to name a few, I explored so many different modalities and systems trying to find a way to end the deep sadness I was suffering with inside.
All this time, I had been searching for an external fix because I thought this was the way to solve problems. You have a problem and you buy something to fix it, right? How wrong was I! Nothing I could ever purchase would be able to fill me with what I needed.
Nothing I could do on the outside would give me what I was looking for on the inside. And when I finally realized that I was the only one that held the key to my happiness, I was filled with a sense of hope and utter despair at the same time in trying to assess where would I even begin.
I had no idea how to find what I needed within me. and I didn’t even believe I had it in me, to begin with.
As you know, we’re big fans of Divine Journey. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I love creating experiences and designing trainings where people can transform their suffering into healing. I use my intuitive guidance to support people in deepening their self-love, healing their inner child, raising their vibrational frequency and harmonizing their feminine and masculine energy.
I offer the following signature programs – the Divine Vow Workshop, the Resilience Self-love Group Coaching Program, Divine Mastery Integration Program, the Rebirth Retreat and private guidance. My goal is to bridge the gap between the sexes by creating healing within first.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
My clients have described me as compassionate, intuitive, and graceful in how I guide each person on their unique journey to self-transformation and self-actualization. My goal is to make self-love, joy, and freedom from within accessible to people in their daily lives. I consider myself a Self-love Integration Specialist who believes that self-love is the foundation for designing your best life.
I focus my guidance on eradicating the repeating unhealthy patterns stemming from childhood because I myself transformed this in my life from within using my unique blend of modalities and principles.
I now use these as a transformational style of guidance that is like life coaching in that it involves helping people better themselves and their lives by bringing about necessary changes, but it goes a step further by removing subconscious blocks stemming from childhood. Instead of just changing how they act, however, transformational guidance changes the way clients see themselves and the world.
Through this work, your entire being is engaged in discovery and healing through my unique four-pronged method of Acknowledge, Address, Heal and Transform and the 12 Divine Journey Principles that transformed my life.
I empower people to understand that they too can transform their lives from within and teach them the life-long tools for how to do so.
