THE JOURNEY

From the world of Finance to the world of Health. Those two seem diametrically opposed and for many years I was fighting against both.

Having fallen into financial services marketing in my early 20’s, what seemed like a good idea then, wasn’t feeling so great in my 30’s. The stress was impacting my health so significantly on all levels – mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, I felt like my soul was dying a slow death each day.

The result: my relationship wasn’t going well, I was exhausted and my self image was extremely negative. I struggled with anxiety and depression and couldn’t understand why I was so unhappy.

I wrongly believed that all the answers to my happiness were outside of myself. In the perfect partner, the perfect job, the perfect house, the perfect body etc etc…

And when I had all these ‘Perfect’ elements… THEN I’d be happy. Trouble was I had all those things by the time I was 30 and I still wasn’t happy, so what was going on I asked myself.

I was working my way up the corporate ladder, married to a nice man, had a lovely house, a cute dog, a supportive family. 

I felt like I’d ticked all the boxes.

But this was the problem….life is not a series of boxes to be ticked. It is an ocean to be surfed and I wasn’t good at riding the waves. I was rigid in my thinking, judgmental and critical of myself, working in a job I wasn’t passionate about, living a life I thought I ‘should’.  

Then I had a giant wake up call when my husband and I suddenly split up. 

It rocked my world. 

When I finally pulled myself back together, I realised it was time to stop looking outside of myself for happiness and look inside instead. I decided to get ‘really good’ at people and finally understand myself. 

And since that time, I’ve dedicated every day to understanding human connection, health and wellbeing. I’ve spent years studying, relating, experiencing and working with people around the world to understand how to successfully navigate ones sense of wellbeing. Essentially – how to move from just surviving to actually thriving every day. I’ve been blessed to have studied with the world’s best and feel privileged to share that knowledge and my own insights with others.

Plus I made a few other changes along the way too…career, lifestyle (I live in Byron Bay by the beach now rather than in the city). You name it, I’ve done it. I re-prioritised for what was really important.     

I realised it takes a lot of courage to go from surviving to thriving because you have to keep showing up for yourself.

I would ask you, what else is more important than feeling like your life is thriving? Having complete mastery of your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. This is what gives your life meaning, when you’re completely in charge. No longer controlled by your mind or emotional state. You have the power to make your life as rich as possible if you can give yourself the right conditions. Let’s create those together.
