ABOUT SHAY
My name is Shay Ryan Douglas and I want to be radically honest with you.
I’m a dreamer, with a real thirst and enthusiasm for life.
A warrior at heart, I have discovered true freedom from facing the darkest moments of my history, and taking ownership for all of my actions. I have found profound meaning in my life from taking on self-responsibility.
Born and Raised in
Cairns Australia
My story
In the midst of my self obsessed and ego driven behaviours, I was captured on film acting out all the toxic patterns I had inherited. Released on Netflix, Liberated: The New Sexual Revolution is a profound reflection of my own personal journey of confusion and desperation for belonging. Chasing alpha male status among my peers, I tacitly weaved my way through life by sexually conquering as many women as I could consume.
I came to the painful realization that the way I was living in the world was merely an attempt to hide my own emotional deprivation and deep feelings of insecurity. In reality, I was desperately lonely and yearning for connection. All the promiscuity was a pursuit of trying to fill a void in my own heart. I was stuck in a objective sexuality and mentality of scarcity, of not having enough.
After the third knee injury, I was preparing for another knee replacement, when I was told I’d never be able to play sports again. My life was such a wreck and I had never felt so diminished in my life. The one thing I truly loved and was passionate about suddenly stripped away.
I was so far from my physical home but also so far from any feelings that a home brings, safety, security and stability. I had hit my rock bottom moment. Any resemblence of who I was as a kid and the dreams I had, were vanished. I had no idea what my dreams were anymore. I had no vision, purpose or anything to contribute to in my life.
The physical pain was excruciating and I felt lonely and lost. However, the third knee injury quickly became the catalyst for an extrodinary shift. The injury forced me to stop and finally find stillness in my life. IT reconnected me to my inner self and opened a doorway for a journey of healing, self-reflection and personal development.
It was then, I swore to reclaim my destiny and change my life. I had to make a decision and say goodbye to my old life and embrace the unknown. However, I was full of fear, anxiety and shame of all the bad things I had done. I struggled to find the courage to change and the pain was internal so no one could see it. I started seeking information and knowledge on how to create a better life for myself. It lead me to some remarkable places acrss the world. I spent time in deep meditation, connected with spiritual communities, and work on improving the land.
From a profound place of inner curiosity I began practicing forgiveness and self-compassion. This led me to a profound place of self-acceptance. Allowing me the confidence and courage to share my imperfections with the world.
I feel extremely privileged in many ways, and am immensely grateful for where my life has taken me. I strive to know myself more fully and allow my expressions to come alive in a conscious, loving and empowering way. I have found my purpose in life and am taking action to achieve my goals.
An advocate for change on every level, I have been through a personal transformation and desire to play a role in the evolutionary transformation of humanity. I have hope for humanity and aim to inspire the world around me through the uplifting of others.
I envision a world where every human believes in the power of limitless possibilities. Aligning my lifestyle with my core values, my authentic self has been able to thrive, manifesting an abundance of life and meaning in my everyday.
I truly believe we are the creators of our reality and I feel blessed for everything that has happened in my life, even the toughest of times. I see life as a precious gift and appreciate every moment for all its lessons.
My dream is to see a world where everyone experiences wholeness, connection, freedom and peace in all areas of life.
Yours in love,
Shay Ryan Douglas
