"Spirituality became my favorite thing to talk about, learn about "

Hello, my name is Jana Niksa and I am grateful to be here! 
My story is probably pretty conventional.
I was raised in Georgia in the US and raised with many of the "Brules". I was told that if I work hard in school, got into a good college, then get a good job, marry the guy of my dreams, and then have my 2.5 kids my life would be complete and in turn, I would be happy. 
By the age of 33, I had achieved all of these things, but there was just one small problem, I was not fulfilled. I wouldn't say I wasn't happy, but I felt like I had missed something along the way. This emptiness overtime manifested into a drinking problem in my early 30s. 
Thankfully, this became such a blessing because when I quit, I found my spiritual quest. I began meditating and learning everything I could about the way the universe really works. Spirituality became my favorite thing to talk about, learn about. I realized that I am a seeker on this spiritual journey of life. 
I am SO grateful for all that I have learned and all of the incredible tools I have found to use over the last decade. I became a certified meditation teacher last year to help teach and give back to others what has brought me so much joy and fulfillment. There is nothing more I want for my life than to give back and serve others. I feel very called to teach and help others reach a new perspective on their life and life in general. That is where I am now...
