Today we’d like to introduce you to Yume Mangold.
Hi Yume, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers?
My journey as a healer has been and continues to be a lifelong process of learning, healing, and growth. My earliest memory of my psychic abilities happened at age 2. At that age, my mother was hospitalized after having given birth to my baby sister. My sister was detrimentally unwell due to the complications of premature birth, and I was unfortunately placed for a month in the care of paternal family members who (unbeknownst to my mother) struggled with unacknowledged generational trauma. That time in my life was when I recalled having my first dream. While I don’t recall the traumatizing things that I experienced during my stay with my extended family, I still remember the vividness of the dream—a very detailed and specific dream of my parents coming to pick me up. The day after having that dream, I described it to my mother over the phone as best as a 2-year-old could have. A couple of weeks later, my sister passed away and my parents came to get me. As I experienced my dream playing out in real life, I had an odd sense of Deja vu that I did not understand at the time.
As I continued to grow, I experienced physical, emotional, and psychological abuse from my alcoholic father. I also experienced sexual trauma. My psychic abilities simultaneously continued to manifest in strange, sometimes frightening, and sometimes seemingly mundane ways. I would experience precognitive dreams of minor embarrassments at school or have recurring dreams—glimpses of past lives. By age 10 I was predominantly plagued by frequent episodes of sleep paralysis, where I first began to physically be able to feel energy in my body. Strange and unexplainable things would happen to me, but I felt like I had no one to share my experiences with. Depression began to sink in. I felt afraid and alone in the world.
By the time I was a teenager, I fell into a deep pit of alcohol and drugs. At this point, I had been struggling for years and my mental illness blossomed into a diagnosed personality disorder. Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, I rarely dreamt. I did not want to live in this reality anymore, and I did not feel any hope for myself. I became so disconnected, I would spend hours of my time daydreaming to escape my waking reality, and with the absence of my dreams, I felt safe spending the rest of my time escaping reality through anywhere between 12-20 hours of sleep. Well into early adulthood, my mother did not trust me to be able to care for myself so I was not taught many of the things a young adult would need to survive on their own in the world. Years of abuse and mistrust in my capabilities had shaped me into a shell of a person; I felt ashamed of my existence and struggled with severe codependency issues.
Though, despite all of the pain and suffering, there was something that kept me going. I’d call it a combination of survival mechanisms, my fascination with various subjects like science and ancient cultures, and an iota of willingness to believe that I one day wouldn’t be in pain anymore. As I entered into adulthood, I experienced a multitude of abuse and manipulation from romantic partners. I went in and out of inpatient psychiatric facilities, desperate for anything that would take my pain away, At the same time, I slowly began to develop the idea that everything is connected—both in my own life and throughout the universe.
After years of dedication to various forms of medication, talk therapy, and even ECT, there came some point where my perspective began to shift further. I can’t put my finger on the exact moment, and I think now it was a slow culmination of every experience I’ve had since birth that eventually led me to where I’m at today. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy helped me expand my awareness of myself and those around me. The principles and teachings of Imago therapy helped me cultivate the healthy and fulfilling relationship I have today with my partner Gabriel. Gabriel’s own journey of recovery inspired me to begin my own recovery from alcoholism. Most importantly, it was a combination of these things + reflection of my past that eventually led me to discover that I would be doomed to carry on the trauma and toxicity of my family’s generational trauma if I did not step up to heal myself. By this point, I began seeing synchronicities and symbolic messages that I felt called to interpret.
It was then that my vivid and psychic dreams started to return, along with a multitude of other extrasensory perceptions. In this past year alone, I’ve experienced vast developments in clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience, claircognizance, and clairempathy. In the past three years, I’ve strived to build mastery in my ability as an interpreter of the universe and will continue to strive for mastery in that aspect. I believe the universe had been trying to speak to me this entire time in its own ways, and that the universe in fact speaks to all of us whether we perceive it or not.
So now that brings me here, to the present. I’ve decided that everything in my past as well as my willingness to heal have shaped me and my extrasensory abilities so that I may help others heal. I got my certification in life coaching + have an extra certification in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills. I utilize those skills in conjunction with my psychic abilities to do what I believe I was put on this earth to do: help the hopeless find hope, connect them with a deeper meaning of their own understanding, and provide guidance for those who feel drowned in pain, trauma, and suffering. I created my business, KindLoveCreation LLC, for this purpose. My mission in my business is to interpret and share messages of the universe to those who seek it, facilitating communication with the intangible in hopes that those who feel lost may experience clarity, validation, and reconnection to their authenticity which was taken from them through trauma and hardship.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Well, there have of course been many challenges throughout my life. In regards to starting my business, it’s been a huge learning curve for me! Though, I learned to thrive in my personal life despite the obstacles and so I feel confident about my ability to successfully grow my business. It’s mostly just a lot of learning, which I love to do.
That said, I believe growing my business has been comparatively much smoother of a road. As counterintuitive as it may sound, things work out best for me with my business when I take my priorities away from the money and focus instead on continuously asking myself these questions:
How can I be of service to others?
What does the Universe need me to share with others right now?
How can I continue to practice self-care and self-compassion as I journey forward?
I time my actions (and non-actions) based upon the signs I interpret from the universe, and the universe has never steered me wrong.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
While I do have my certifications in life coaching and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills, my specialty is with my extrasensory abilities. I am known for and most proud of my readings, in which I offer deep insight that facilitates connection to one’s larger purpose. Through readings, I am able to help others shine a light on past pain, dysfunction, or trauma which may be holding them back from reaching their fullest potentials. My combination of experiential and educational knowledge in therapy + recovery allows me to share wisdom on ways to process, heal, and grow from the painful aspects presented in one’s readings. My own experiences with healing my trauma, dysfunction, and addiction allow me to guide others towards finding their own version of healing from their own wounding. My extrasensory abilities allow me to tune into energetic shifts, balances/imbalances, and intuitive messages of guidance.
What sets me apart from other readers in Charleston is my charm-casting. I am the only reader in Charleston offering charm-casting readings—an eclectic form of cleromancy that consists of various small objects of differing energetic and symbolic meaning. My charms are what I utilize most frequently to gain the most insight, as my I’ve designed my charm set so it can speak to me in ways, I’m most familiar with: exactly as the universe communicates with me in my waking life.
Occasionally I also receive very specific messages for myself and others in dreams. These dreams are very unique to my normal dreams, astral projections, or precognitive dreams because they are very straightforward communications sometimes from specific deities! When they are in regards to others, I am sure to tell them as soon as I can!
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
I’ve had tremendous support from my family, friends, mentors, and clients! I could not succeed without their help, support, love, and kindness.
My partner Gabriel has been highly supportive of my passions and dreams and inspires me to continue connecting to the shine of my own authenticity. He is also really sweet when I am overwhelmed or have a big workday. When those days happen, he makes me lunches, gives me time to rest, and reminds me that I’m doing a great job! When I find myself taking everything too seriously, he helps me feel grounded and helps me bring laughter + gratitude back into my life when I need it the most.
My mom Eri feels very proud of all I’ve accomplished so far. She has even become more open to the idea of extrasensory abilities and universal interconnectivity! When I first got started and didn’t have a lot of money to help fund the earliest stages of my business, she and Gabriel pitched in to help me out. My mom is also a trooper for making space for me to talk through my ideas with her, even though I sometimes tend to get very excited about multiple ideas and end up bouncing between them without pause.
My best friend Abby is also a huge support system for me. Our friendship was cultivated during a time when we both were struggling with difficult circumstances, and as a result, we’ve always been great at helping each other process distressing circumstances. She is there for me when I feel down, and she understands my personal challenges in ways that nobody else can.
Jennifer, the owner of Charmed (a beautiful metaphysical store in Shem Creek!) has been an incredible mentor to me and continues to be a big role in the success of KINDLOVECREATION’s growth, she graciously invited me into her shop, allowing me a space to accept in-person clients and host group classes. Jennifer’s knowledge and wisdom of both owning a business & spirituality in Charleston has been and continues to be very valuable insight for me. Without her guidance and support. I would most definitely not be where I am now.
I’d also like to thank Cait, who I met through Jennifer! Cait is also growing her own business, The Rosemary Apothecary. She’s open to listening to my new business ideas and offers me creative opinions on how I can shape my ideas further to share new things with the world.
My business coach Nan has been wonderful! She helps me define my goals, create more structure for my business, and helps keep me focused on things that are important to me.
Last but not least, I’d really also like to thank all the clients I have had and will have. Without you, I would not have a business at all! Thank you for trusting me to provide a safe space for you to connect to the universe, and for inviting me into a part of your world. It is you that inspire me to continue sharing my knowledge, wisdom, and abilities with the world.
