I’m just back home after another 6-month trip to SE Asia.

I can’t quite believe it’s been almost 3 years of living this nomadic lifestyle!

And even though this journey has come with a lot of challenges, there’s not a day that goes by where I don’t feel immensely thankful that everything in my life went ‘wrong’ - which set me on my current path.

Over the next few emails, I want to share a little bit of that story with you...

So, let's start at the very beginning 😉

I was always the good girl. I wanted to do what was ‘right’, get good grades, please my parents. I was a chameleon, highly sensitive to others needs, bending myself to fit in with whoever I was with.

In the process, I got so disconnected from who I was at my core that I didn’t even know what I wanted anymore.

When you are constantly betraying yourself to be liked, over the years you feel very

❗Alone in your own skin. 

❗You judge yourself harshly.

❗Stop trusting yourself.

❗You’re exhausted from always pretending.

On the outside, things looked great! I had a beautiful home and marriage, a successful chiropractic business, fabulous friends. But on the inside I felt lost.  

When the pain eventually got bad enough (suffering is always our greatest teacher!) I set off into the world of personal development to try and ‘fix’ me. 

I could objectively see that there was so much good stuff in my life; surely I just needed to find that one thing that would make everything fall into place, and finally I’d feel happy?!

But this search for the magic bullet went on for years. Countless seminars and coaching. Thousands and thousands spent. Every time my hopes were high, and every time I was disappointed. Nothing really shifted.

What I eventually discovered - the fundamental thing we miss on our personal development journey - is that it isn’t just one puzzle piece you need to find. I wish it was. But when you’ve spent a lifetime ignoring yourself, the foundations you’ve built are too flimsy. You can’t just change the superficial stuff, you have to do the excavation work to get back in touch with the very essence of you. 

And over the next few years, that's what I did. 

☑️ I uncovered the core issues that affected me 

☑️ and healed them to a large extent. 

☑️ I cried a lot, released a lot, and got in touch with parts of me I didn’t even know existed. 

It's been a shedding process, layer by layer, to get back to what is truth in me. 

All of that deep inner work resulted in me wanting to change a lot in my external life too. The biggest shift was that I decided to sell my chiropractic business to pursue coaching others full time. 

I was beyond excited about what this monumental change would do for me. 

See what happens next time…

PS  The way I want to show up for you is very practical. There can be value in an inspirational quote, or a short video that can help you shift your perspective.

But for the most part that isn’t really my style. 

I like to go deeper. To affect real change.

So, in these newsletters, I’ll be sharing stories and ideas, and often I'll be coming here to let you know of free webinars I’m hosting where you can show up and be coached. Have actual live conversations that might really shift something for you.

I want to hold space for you, challenge you, offer a different perspective.

And at times, I’ll be unapologetically inviting you into my work.
