So hi, my name is Shanaya and I am the founder of The Th3rd Brand.
I've never really introduced myself or spoken about my personal journey towards self-love, spirituality and peace. If I'm totally honest, I am just an extremely private person, I'm so private that even I am still discovering things about myself! However, I have to admit I feel like The Th3rd Brand has truly started to form a family of such beautiful, kind souled people. So much so, that I am stepping out of my private comfort zone and choosing to share more about myself. And as much as I would love for you all to believe that this is because I am super interesting, that is not actually the purpose of me writing this blog. I am writing this because I have come to understand that many of us who seek clarity through this journey actually feel... lost. And after pondering these thoughts and emotions for some time, I also have come to understand that the more I feel lost, the more I feel...found. You may think how can both be experienced simultaneously? Just like most things, it's a matter of perspective.
When I think of the word 'lost', I think of freedom.
When I think of the word 'found', I think of discovery.
You can't discover without freedom and you can't experience freedom without discovery.
And I know i'm not the only one who feels like their journey consists of skipping down these two contradictory, intertwined paths.
Me and my friends will talk for hours, about knowing what we want from this physical experience but we feel so lost in the process of achieving it because it goes against the grain of what we've been taught. When you start to colour outside the lines you sometimes question if you can still create art, and the answer is, you can. The more you learn about yourself, your desires, goals, your spirituality, your character, the more doors it opens, the more questions it poses, the more you may feel a little lost, all because you found so much more. Exploring empty space is uncomfortable for many of us, because it's unfamiliar territory, also meaning it can be lonely territory.
Well, this is how my experience has felt during my spiritual journey, and i'm sure i'm not the only one. But I say all of this to say, we're not lost, we're never truly found either, but we're never alone because one thing we do share is our new sense of freedom and our personal treasures of self discoveries. And with this blog I want to share all the in-between, thoughts, fails, wins, hurdles, setbacks, the key components to our evolution.
I hope that you chose to join me, and that as a family we can help each other navigate this beautiful journey to becoming the best versions of ourself.
Weekly blogs will be posted, discussing everything about spirituality, self-love, accountability and healing...
Let's figure this out together.
If you have any words of encouragement, stories or experiences that you would like to share, please send me an email. Everyone is welcome, It is our intention to build a space of transparency, relatability and community.
