All you have to do is believe in the process and continue your journey.
It might take a day, maybe a year but what is meant for you will always find it’s way to you.
Why the wait? Why the pain?
The waiting, the gap, the in between, the changes, the transitions, the meantime… they all serve a necessary purpose. Even delays and detours are part of it.
You will arrive at the perfect time, as the exact person you need to be, ready.
Eventually everything will work out.
It always does.
Take a deep breath in and let go. Hold your power and vision. Everything will fall into place. You don’t have to worry about anything. Have faith.
It’s easy to get caught up in the belief that life seems easy and effortless all the time for everyone except you, that there must be something wrong with you because you are struggling and haven’t achieved the same amount as that person or done a lot like the other.
The truth is life is hard inherently, life isn’t meant for your happiness, or at least just that… 💣
Life is orchestrated for your growth and expansion 💥
There will be tough times but if you’re honest, in those moments don’t you seem to change the most?
The uncomfortable, the hard and discomfort help you to grow (it doesn’t feel like it at the time and often does looking back).
Life is tough, but so are you 👊🏽
I wrote the following in my book 📖 The Great Unlearning;
“I know some days turn into nights and everything seems so unbearable you want to escape into darkness. When everything is dark, don’t forget about the light. Turn within and whisper to your soul. Place your hand over your heart and feel the devotion that beats for you. Some of the best days of your life are yet to happen. Some of the best moments of your life are yet to be had. Some of the unforgettable memories are yet to be made. The people you’ll meet are yet to be met. The souls you’ll fall in love with are yet to be loved. The excitement you’ll have that’s yet to unfold. The mystery and magic of life that’s waiting to reveal itself. Hold on because you’re only on a single page while novels are being written within you.” 🪄
This is your sign to keep going, tough times aren’t the end, maybe they are a beautiful new beginning…
Gentle reminder: You are loveable, and you are loved.
You are trying your best and I see you.
Even when...
Even when you make mistakes. Even when you try your best and don’t succeed. Even when you snap because you are angry and frustrated with the world. Even when you’re annoyed at yourself and others. Even when you’re caught up in an anxious loop. Even when you fall asleep with tears in your eyes. Even when you feel like a burden to everyone. Even when you are caught up in the past. Even when you feel stuck in your head and feel like you’re making everything about you. Even when you doubt yourself. Even when you have a critical self-voice that says otherwise. It can be easy to forget and this is why this reminder exists 🥹
An excerpt from my book 📖 The Great Unlearning by Phi Dang
You don’t have to have a happy start or beginning.
Maybe it’s been mediocre.
Maybe it’s been messy.
Maybe it’s been confusing.
Maybe it’s been just down right terrible and that’s okay.
It doesn’t mean the journey or the destination won’t work out.
Don’t overthink things.
Take it step by step, moment by moment.
Be kind to yourself.
Give yourself love, compassion and grace.
Everything will be okay.
YOU set the tone
Not so happy new year? 😕 Guess what?
It’s okay!
It doesn’t set the tone for the rest of what’s to come… it won’t define the year ahead, it won’t unless you let it…
I remember starting 2023 in a strange place, everything on paper was perfect yet I wasn’t fully “happy” and “lit up” off the back of a breakup and the anniversary of my dads death and birthday… yet I ended up having one of the best years of my life in 2023 🥰
I got to work with amazing clients, have the biggest month of my business, release my debut book 📖 The Great Unlearning, travel internationally, spend time with friends and family and met my now new partner 🫶🏽
New beginnings can be overwhelming even when you’re excited.
Allow yourself the grace and love to feel it all.
After all life is a duality of high highs, low lows and everything in between.
What matters is your mindset. Your perspective, what is IN your control.
Do you feel a bit ‘eh blah’, like 2024 hasn’t really hit for you…
And the new year hasn’t given you the motivation to do your intentions and figure out what you’re vibing for the year?
It’s okay.
It’s not just you.
It's all about ENERGY
The reason you are feeling egh and bleh about the new year may very well have nothing to do with you, in fact it could be because of the 🌀 energy 🌀 especially if you’re empathetic and intuitive.
In terms of energy there are several different perspectives out there… astrologically some may believe the 111 portal with the Capricorn new moon is new year (11/1 — 11th of January) or maybe end of March with the Spring Solstice… human design says in a couple of weeks with the kick of the collective fantasy imagination energy…
All in all, this is your permission slip to give yourself grace.
To be kind and compassionate if you’re not feeling motivated, inspired, lit up and all guns blazing in 2024 yet.
There’s a window energetically open from about the 11th of January even until April 🫶🏽

It can be easy to get caught up in the hard, the negative, the fear, the overwhelm, the doubts, what’s not going right, how you’ve messed it up, how it isn’t enough, what’s missing aaaaand it goes on and on
And truth be told?
Sometimes we need that.
To be in it.
To feel it.
A big overarching theme I’m feeling for 2024 ✨ is to remember the light especially in what has been such a year of growth and change in 2023.
To find the glimmers ✨ opposite to triggers — moments that spark joy, peace and safety often in the small things 😌
Here’s to seeing, feeling and being the light in 2024 💡

10 years later the journey continues and I can’t quite believe I’ve lived 1/3 of my life without him 🥹
Grief has no expiration date.
It is never too late to grieve.
In the early days it was raw and overwhelming.
I numbed it. I suppressed it. I ignored it. I resented it.
The myth that time heals all wounding is understandable however really we learn to grow around the grief and expand.
Grief does not end or stop.
It becomes part of the journey weaved into the everyday, a mosaic of joy and sorrow all at once that is part of the human experience.
Loss and grief have shown me it doesn’t end with the loss of our loved one that it isn’t useless, in fact it’s led me to become a life coach something I never would have comprehended a decade ago (I was meant to be a lawyer or CMO!!).
And that is the beauty; the twists and turns of life and how pain can turn into power and purpose.
Now I honour it. I lean into it. I feel it. I’m grateful for it.
As a coach it has been a privilege to support and witness individuals navigate the complexities of grief in learning to feel the feelings, redefine the narrative and unlock the strength and resilience that emerges from heartache.
Here’s to the journey 🫶🏽
May loss not define you but propel you into greater depths of living: with gratitude, with radiance and to embrace the immense gift of not just being alive; but living 🚀
The year you call it in, everything you dream and desire of.
The year you release, everything that holds you back.
The year you embrace, all opportunities and possibilities.
The year you do, whatever nourishes and lights up your soul.
The year you love, nurture and worship every aspect of you.
The year you are truly seen, heard and cherished for who you are.
The year everything you asked for is in the process of manifesting.
The year that makes up for all the other years… the year.
The year you make it happen
It’s going to be the year that makes up for all other years, the year where it all starts to click and fall into place ✨
The year you make it happen, following those intuitive nudges and taking inspired action focused on the vision, trusting in the process and allowing it to unfold in the perfect timing and way in accordance with the universe ☁️
love & positivity ✨ phi
