Who you are becoming

There’s a kind of beauty that only reveals itself after you’ve been undone. After the tears, the break downs and long nights spent wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again… the truth is that you won’t. Not in the way you were. You’re meant to emerge softer in some places, fiercer in others, braver than before. That’s what growth does. It doesn’t restore the old version of you – it introduces you to someone new. Someone who can carry what they have been through and still choose to begin again. The most powerful thing isn’t to pretend it didn’t hurt, but let it matter. Let it shape you. Let it crack open something real. The person you’re becoming isn’t born from ease, but from courage. It’s already unfolding not despite what you’ve been through, but because of it.

Some transformations don’t start with hope — they begin with heartbreak. So give yourself permission to grieve what was, to mourn the version of you that didn’t survive the storm.   It’s okay to miss the innocence, the certainty, the way things used to feel before the breaking…but don’t stay there. Don’t let nostalgia keep you tethered to a version of life that no longer fits.
Sometimes growth looks like standing back up when your knees are still shaking.

And maybe one day, you’ll look back and realize that what once threatened to shatter you actually shaped you into someone more honest, more open, more whole.

You’ll see that healing wasn’t about forgetting, but about integrating. The pain didn’t disappear — it became part of your strength. You’ll carry that strength not as a burden, but as proof: that you survived, that you transformed, and that you dared to begin again when you had every reason not to.

You didn’t avoid the fire, but that you walked through it and came out with light in your eyes.

If you’re looking for support and guidance, I got you. I offer 1:1 coaching and human design readings.

Life is a journey

The truth is, it’s your life. No one else wakes up in your skin, carries your memories or lies awake with your thoughts. You are allowed to grow at your own pace. You are allowed to choose joy, even when it makes no sense to anyone else. No one else gets to feel your regrets, your joy, your growth. So live it fully, love fiercely and own every chapter you write. In the end, your life will not be measured by how closely you followed the rules but by the courage you mustered in the darkest hours, how deeply you loved and how you returned to yourself through the fire – again and again. Make it count.

This life… your one, wild, irreplaceable life is aching and begging for you to claim it fully, unapologetically, right now.

Not someone else’s expectations, not the story you’ve been told you should live…but yours.

This life is your opportunity to show up for yourself in a way that feels honest, true, authentic and aligned to you.

It’s easy to get caught up in the noise of what others want, what feels “right” on paper but the real magic happens when you lean into what sets your soul on fire, even if it scares you or feels uncertain.

Unlocking Unlearning 💫 Episode 5

This is your wake up call 👀 Your soul is starving for a world that breathes back… earth isn’t just a stage set it’s a breathing living heart…

Nature is alive, breathing, and dynamic. Not just scenery to be admired or a backdrop for our days. Its trees lean into the wind, its rivers whisper stories and every bird’s call carries a tiny heartbeat 🌳

To truly see this is to recognise that we’re part of a larger symphony, participating in something so dynamic, that is forever evolving. When we slow enough to listen to the forest breathe, we feel the breath rise and fall within our own bodies too.

Grounding isn’t just stillness; it can be in movement as well. To dance barefoot on the grass or hike up a trail or the rain kissing your face is a way to sink into the present just as much as sitting in meditation. Movement can be an expression of deep roots reaching into the world. Even when we are swirling like a gust of wind we can be entirely present, fully alive and supported by Mother Earth.

Unlearning the myths that say rest must look like one thing, or that the natural world is separate from us or that healing requires quiet passivity. Unlearning allows space for a more organic, intuitive understanding of what it means to heal and grow — moving or still, dynamic or serene, intertwined with a living world that holds us as we grow.

So if you’re ready to unlearn what’s holding you back and reconnect to with your natural rhythm and flow inside you, let’s take that next step together. Reach out for 1:1 coaching and or a human design reading: let’s create a grounded, vibrant path that honours who you truly are.

Karma is your kink

Karma is your kink.

Oh behave, you’re so “naughty” 😈🤠 I know what you’ve been up to… 👀

You’ve been chasing the invisible threads that tie your life’s chaos into meaning, haven’t you?

There’s a strange thrill in watching karma unfold — that cosmic ledger where every action echoes back, teaching you through patterns you can’t ignore. It’s not just about getting even or poetic justice; it’s about recognising how your pain, your growth and your mistakes weave together in this endless dance of cause and effect over lifetimes.

When you lean into karma, you’re drawn to the raw lessons that come wrapped in discomfort, because beneath the sting lies transformation.

There’s a magnetic pull toward the repetitive loops that life throws at you, almost like you crave the unraveling of those knots.

Every time you hit the same wall or relive a familiar heartbreak, you’re not just suffering — you’re delving into the intricate language of your soul.

You want to understand why these moments repeat, what deeper truths they reveal about your desires and fears. This isn’t masochism; it’s a profound attraction to the pattern itself — the blueprint karma leaves behind, waiting for you to decode it and step into a higher version of yourself.

Karma is your kink because it demands vulnerability and sharpens your awareness.

It’s the universe’s way of handing you a mirror, sometimes cracked and painful, but always truthful.

You thrive on peeling back layers, recognising your role in the dance, and owning your lessons.

That blend of pain and insight is intoxicating — a dark, beautiful rhythm that you chase with equal parts dread and desire. In this cycle, you don’t just survive karma; you crave its pull, knowing every twist nudges you closer to freedom.

Ready to break free from old patterns and transform your pain into powerful growth? Work with me and let’s unlock the lessons karma is trying to teach you together. Message me for more information on 1:1 coaching and or a human design reading.

This beautiful fleeting moment

Sometimes the best thing you can do… is simply slow down, especially when life feels like a relentless tide pulling you under. When you let yourself slow down, you make room to truly feel. You feel the way the morning light reaches you like a gentle touch or the way a song knows exactly how to hold your sadness and joy all at once. It’s the small sacred pause that helps you remember who you really are – not the hurried version of yourself… not the one trying to keep up but the one who feels deeply, loves fiercely and deserves softness more than anything. You deserve to give yourself the grace to appreciate life’s unfolding rather than trying to control it’s every twist and turn. To begin to see the world not as something to conquer but as something to cherish. It’s okay to take one small breath at a time, to exist just as you are right now in this beautiful, fleeting moment.

DO MORE, PUSH MORE, GO FASTER!! CHASE that big thing… today’s world constantly eggs us on int the way.

It’s so easy to get swept up in the noise and lose sight of yourself along the way. You don’t always have to match that pace — you have permission to slow down.

When you choose to hit pause, you create space for the things that truly matter: your breath, your emotions and your inner voice.

Slowing down is not giving up; it’s tuning in.

It’s where real clarity, healing, and strength begin to grow.

So take that first small step — let yourself rest, reflect, and reset.

If you’re ready to embrace this shift and live more intentionally, I’m here to help you navigate it. Let’s work together to reclaim your peace and purpose. Message me and let’s chat!

Unlocking Unlearning – Episode 4 💫

You won’t get a warning when life becomes worth remembering. Let your messy room, late night thoughts and half done to do lists be part of the story.

Light hits a half empty coffee cup just right and suddenly the moment feels cinematic. Life doesn’t need to be polished to be worth appreciating.

There’s beauty in the in between, in the moments that don’t make it to the highlight reel.

If you keep waiting for everything to make sense, you’ll miss what’s happening right now. The clarity you crave often comes later, long after the moment has passed.

However the confusion, the doubt and the ache of not knowing… that’s where growth starts. That’s where something real begins.

There’s something oddly comforting in knowing life unfolds best when it’s not fully understood.

So even just for a moment, let things be messy and let them be beautiful anyway. Not everything has to be sorted out to be sacred.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments are the ones that feel unfinished, a little raw.

Romanticise it.

All of it.

Ready to embrace your main character energy and make the most of your life as it is and take it to the next level?

I got you. Let’s work together through 1:1 coaching and or a human design reading. Message me for more details.

Life’s quiet hum

Sometimes life closes in, not with drama, but with a quiet, relentless hum. The weight of everything unspoken, thickens the air. You move through your days with a knot in your stomach, carrying things you can’t name, aching for space to just be… to just exist without the pressure. Even in all of that, in your breath, is you. There is something sacred in the moments where you feel most undone. The way you keep showing up, even when no one sees how hard it is. You’re not weak for feeling weary. You’re not behind for needing rest. The medicine is in the gentle choosing. Choosing to still show up when everything feels slow or stuck or uncertain. Choosing to believe that even here, even now, there is worth. There is light. There is something in you that still hopes. Maybe that’s enough. Maybe that’s everything.

This is how self love really begins… 👀 not as a bold declaration, not in the mirror on your best day, but in the quiet. In the dark. In the choosing. The choosing to be present when it would be easier to check out. The choosing to speak gently with yourself when your mind grows sharp and restless. The choosing to hold space for the ache without rushing to fix it.

Over and over, you meet yourself there… in the slow moments, the uncertain ones, the ones that don’t make sense yet. You show up not with answers but with presence. That is the sacred work: to keep choosing to believe there is still worth in you. Still light, even if it’s faint. Still something soft and shimmering inside that wants to try again tomorrow.

That’s enough. Not the perfection. Not the productivity. Just the quiet, divine act of not abandoning yourself. Of showing up. Of loving. Still.

Not everything that breaks you is meant to destroy you

Not everything that breaks you is meant to destroy you. Some things come to crack the shell you’ve outgrown. To shake loose the parts of you that were built from survival, not truth. It’s okay to grieve those pieces… the personas, the patterns, the dreams that no longer fit. You’re not losing yourself. You’re meeting the version of you that doesn’t need to perform for love anymore. The one who knows they’re worthy even in the mess. You may not recognise the person you’re becoming – and that’s a good thing… it means you’re no longer repeating the past. It means you’re choosing differently, showing up more honestly, standing more firmly in your knowing. Trust the confusion. Trust the shedding. You’re not meant to go back to who you were. You’re meant to rise as someone braver, someone truer, someone more you.

Sometimes, the cracks that appear in your life are the very places where light begins to seep in. The pain, the confusion, the setbacks… they may feel like endings, but more often than not, they are the beginning of something deeper and more resilient.

What shattered wasn’t your spirit—it was the illusion that you had to stay the same to be whole.

You weren’t meant to return to your old self.

That version of you was built for a season that has already passed.

Growth demands evolution, and healing is not about going back — it’s about becoming someone new with the strength born from experience.

There’s power in surviving what you thought would break you, and even more power in using it as the foundation to rise stronger, clearer and more purposeful than ever.

If you’re standing at the edge of your own transformation, don’t retreat — step forward. Message me for life coaching and let’s build the next version of you together 🦋

You’re not meant to return to who you were

You’re not meant to return to who you were, you’re meant to return to who you are.

You’re not having an identity crisis… you’re having a soul remembering — The kind that cracks you open.

The version of you that once existed was shaped by survival, by fitting in, by doing what was necessary to be loved, to be safe, to be accepted.

Underneath all the masks and the roles you learned to play, your essence has never changed.

It has only been waiting.

Waiting for you to remember. Waiting for you to be ready to stop running from your own truth and start walking home to it.

Coming home to yourself is not a linear journey. It’s messy and raw and often achingly beautiful.

It asks you to let go of the stories that kept you small and the dreams that were never really yours.

It invites you to soften to become more honest, more wild and more alive.

This is the great unlearning and return: not to an old self, but to a deeper one.

One who trusts her own knowing.

One who is no longer performing but being.

Come home. Not to the last but to you 🫶🏽

Sacred rage isn’t your enemy

Last week coaching clients, one thing stood out: sacred anger and rage is real — it’s often the hardest emotion for women to claim.

We’ve been taught to soften, to stay small, to avoid the fire that boils beneath.

What if the anger you feel is not something to fear, but a sacred force calling you to set boundaries, demand respect and reclaim your power?

Embracing your sacred rage means honoring the truth of what you feel, even when it’s uncomfortable.

It’s the fuel that transforms frustration into fierce clarity and quiet resentment into bold action.

If you’ve been holding back your anger, it might be time to see it as a guide, not a threat.

If you’re ready to safely explore this powerful energy and turn it into your superpower, let’s talk.

Sacred rage isn’t your enemy — it’s your awakening. DM me to start your journey with life coaching that helps you step into your full, authentic power ❤️‍🔥
