About OCTAVIAL (Intentional Era Inc)
I’m Octavia.
For years I lived walking on eggshells: first in a controlling relationship, then in a religious world that called my pain “lack of faith” and my boundaries “rebellion.” I learned to shrink, to people-please, to pray harder instead of feeling safer. Leaving was terrifying. Healing was even harder, because most advice felt like another demand: forgive faster, manifest better, let it go.
This space is the opposite of that.
I created octavial.io for people recovering from:
- toxic or abusive relationships (emotional, physical, spiritual)
- religious trauma and spiritual abuse
- the deep exhaustion of chronic people-pleasing and self-betrayal
If you’re here, you probably know what it’s like to feel guilty for having needs, to flinch at the word “submission,” or to still hear old voices calling your rest “laziness” and your anger “bitterness.”
You don’t have to heal loudly, perfectly, or on anyone else’s timeline.
Here, we do it gently: one small, shame-free step at a time.
You’ll find practical tools that respect how trauma lives in the body, soft ways to rebuild trust in yourself, and constant reminders that kindness toward the part of you that was hurt is not selfish; it’s sacred.
You’re allowed to matter to yourself again.
I’m really glad you’re here.
♡ Octavia
