The One thing that’s holding you back…
What is the ONE thing that’s holding you back from living as your highest, most vibrant self?
You might have guessed the answer… it’s YOU.
I know this is hard to hear, but blaming anything or anyone outside of yourself for your lack of fulfillment, wellness and abundance is simply playing the victim.
And trust me, I know. I did it for YEARS.
My Story
For as long as I can remember, I thought that life was about living from your head, not your heart. I spent so many years disconnected from my soul essence. Constantly seeking validation from the external.
A new diet is what would make me happy,
A new car would make me happy,
A new relationship would make me happy.
It never did.
I spent so much time operating on a frantic level of doing doing doing to try to reach a state of happiness. I was letting fear run the game.
And when I was so exhausted and spent and unsatisfied, I would binge eat. Leading to a cycle of self-loathing, guilt, shame and such low self-worth that would ultimately feed into other areas of my life.
If it wasn’t binge eating, it was binge spending. Booking holidays I couldn’t afford, buying clothes I thought would fulfil me, spending spending spending, and then finding myself in debt and even more miserable than I was to start with.
Not to mention binge drinking. Waking up every weekend wondering what I had done or said to embarrass myself (again). Deepening the feelings of self-loathing and disgust.
And through all of this, I saw no way out.
I blamed my food binges on ‘lack of willpower’, I chalked down the spending sprees to simply ‘being bad with money’, the excuse for the drinking was ‘everybody does it’ - and the toxic relationships – I was simply ‘unlucky in love.’
I was so used to guiding myself through life by what I thought I should do and what made the most logical sense, that I had forgotten what it meant to listen to my own internal guidance. My intuitive voice. The sound of my soul.
So I stayed stuck for a very long time. Not seeing that there was another way.
In 2015, I began searching for meaning through self development and spirituality. I began reading books upon book and listening to podcast after podcast. I did meditation courses, I studied mindfulness. I did it all.
But what was still missing is that I was absorbing it through my head, not through my heart. I would intellectualise the teachings. I would practice diligently. But because my heart wasn’t ready to receive it, the shift happened much more slowly.
In 2019, everything changed.
A series of seemingly unlinked events that included starting a wellness blog, going on a 10 day silent meditation retreat and losing my father very suddenly led to a profound spiritual awakening that truly changed everything.
For the first time I could tangibly feel and see and realise that life is full of infinite possibilities, all within my reach. And that yes, I could really have the life I was meant to live. I left my corporate marketing job, became a yoga teacher, Reiki Practitioner and Holistic Health Coach.
I started following my heart, listening to my intuition and making decisions based on what flowed. What was in alignment. And step by step and piece by piece, I changed the trajectory of my life.
But I still knew there was more inner work to do…
Although I felt more guided and connected to myself than ever before, inner transformation cannot happen overnight.
I had to dig DEEP into my subconscious to root out self-limiting beliefs
I had to shine the light on old self sabotaging behaviours
I needed to regulate my nervous system through consistent daily practices
I had to engage in deep shadow work in order to integrate the parts of myself I’d been hiding from
I had to learn to acknowledge, love and listen to my inner child who had been abandoned all these years.
I had to clear all the energetic blocks that were inhibiting the flow of abundance into my life
I did all this in order to heal, transform and align with my highest self. I never knew what having purpose really meant before, and now that I do, I have never been happier.
And this is my why.
I now help other women get out of their head, remove their own self limiting beliefs and become the highest version of themselves that they are inherently destined to become.
And this is the life-changing work that I now share with others.
