My name is Vincia Rountree. I am the founder of "I am Healed", a platform that I initiated during a period in my life when I was grappling with anxiety, depression, and the traumatic remnants of abuse. My struggle to heal and overcome was an arduous journey that led me to seek help from various sources, including counseling and inpatient as well as outpatient programs. In June 2021, I was blessed with a beautiful daughter, yet soon after I found myself wrestling with postpartum depression. During this desperate quest for healing, I found solace and strength in an organization named S.T.E.P.S. (Struggle Transformation into Extraordinary Possibilities of Success). The teachings helped me to embrace my struggles and to understand the power of sharing my story - my testimony. They reminded me that there is a certain victory in being true to myself and not shying away from my story.

 

Reinforcing this newfound understanding, I embraced the power of words and affirmations. I started to write self-affirmations on Post-it notes, dispersing them around my home as daily reminders of who I am and the strength within me. I then extended this personal ritual to a broader platform – TikTok, where I started to share my affirmations and journey with the wider world. I launched this endeavor on September 29, 2021, from my bathroom, with a sincere hope that my story would reach others who might be struggling like I was. The response was overwhelming. I soon found myself surrounded by a supportive community of 96,000 followers, each resonating with my journey and finding the courage to embark on their own path of healing.

 

The mission of "I Am Healed" is to nurture this growing community and provide a supportive environment where we can rely on each other to overcome our individual adversities. I aim to enlighten others about the power of daily affirmations and the transformative healing it can bring to one's mind, heart, body, and spirit. Healing, I believe, commences from the mind, transforming the words we utter. This is the essence of "I am Healed". We strive to be a safe space that continuously reminds people that they are not alone in their struggle. As S.T.E.P.S. insightfully put it, "And you thought you knew me" - a sentiment that underscores how quick we are to judge others, failing to understand their hidden struggles. At "I am Healed", we understand the healing power of shared experiences and testimonies. We believe in the potency of positivity and invite you to join our family today, making a commitment to choose yourself and your healing journey. Here, transformation and healing are the norms. Remember, you are not alone.
