My Journey
My whole life I followed the rules, lived up to others expectations, checked all the boxes...
Honour roll student in high school
Attended University
Got a Bachelor of Commerce
Started my corporate career
Met the amazing guy
Bought the house in the suburbs
Got engaged
Moved into the house
Climbed the corporate ladder
Got married…. All before I turned 30
And then it all came to a halt.
I checked all the boxes but one major thing was missing- I felt unfulfilled, unhappy, lost, empty inside. I was seeking external titles and items for validation to satisfy the emptiness I felt within.
And of course layer on the added pressure of starting a family and having kids...
I didn’t know who I was - I completely felt disconnected, out of sync with my soul, my purpose, my calling. I was marching to the beat of someone else’s drum, going through the motions, and living life based on what others expected of me rather than living my life the way I wanted to. I felt like I was repeating this same day, week, month over and over again and knew this couldn’t be my reality for the next 30+ years. I didn’t know how or what but I just felt deep down that there was something so much more to my life and this wasn’t it.
Would it have been ‘easy’ or ‘safe’ to continue down this cookie cutter path of a life I was living and continue checking those boxes... YES but I knew that wouldn’t be the solution to the problem I was feeling inside. It wouldn’t satisfy this burning desire I had from within to live a life of meaning, excitement, purpose, fulfillment, joy, legacy and doing it on my terms! I knew I was meant for something more!
I had hit rock bottom - this was the wake up call to my life. If I wanted a different outcome to my life, I knew only I could make it happen, I had to take action. So I did. I took the biggest leap of my life and jump into the unknown. I didn’t know where it was going to take me but I knew that if I didn’t do this now, I might never have the opportunity ever again. This was my time- it was now or never…
This is where I started my journey of self-discovery, self-awareness, self-love and reconnecting to my soul.
I invested in a coach because I knew I needed the guidance, support and accountability
Prioritized my health - mind, body, soul
I dove deep into personal development
Surrounded myself with high vibe people
Established a morning routine
Cut out the BS and set up boundaries
Committed to moving my body regularly
Nourished my body with healthy whole foods
Took time to just BE
Reflected and journaled daily
Stepped into a new identity
Found joy and gratitude in every day
Grounded myself in nature
Had so much fun… even during the hard days
Found new creative hobbies
Immersed myself in new adventures and activities
Tackled my fears, insecurities, limiting beliefs
Made goals and took action towards them
Was it hard... absolutely
Were there dark days... absolutely
But I knew going head on into the darkness wasn’t going to be easy but I had faith that there would be amazing light and growth on the other side.
At some point in my journey, I dug in deep and immersed myself in Personal Development and I realized just how powerful the mind is. At that point, it had made me very aware of my own limiting beliefs, negative emotions and stories I was telling myself to keep me “safe” and stay in the comfort zone but really all I was doing was sabotaging myself and robbing myself of the greatness that was meant for my life.
During this time I was really into my health and fitness and was also helping others with their own wellness goals. At this time I saw first hand how many other people were also impacted by their own version of self-sabotage. I became super fascinated with the subconscious mind and how it worked and why we operate the way we do. It became my mission to understand further so that I could not only help myself but also help others.
This is when I stumbled upon NLP, Hypnosis, Reiki and some other powerful healing modalities. I didn’t know much but I felt extremely compelled to become trained and certified in them. So without overthinking it, I just trusted I was being led down this path for a reason and took another leap! I made a massive investment in myself believing it would be worth it in the long run and started 2 weeks later.
Looking back now, I really had no idea what I was walking into. I was completely overwhelmed and all my insecurities came crashing down on me. It by far was one of the hardest weeks of my life but also the most rewarding. Every day was tackling a different struggle, a different piece of myself and left me feeling very confused and overwhelmed. Then finally on the last day, the puzzle came together beautifully.
As I was driving into training, I was listening to a random playlist on Spotify and a song came on that I had never heard before and it all clicked together - the song was called “Love Myself”. Over the week, without even realizing I had been tackling the pieces of the root of my problem, I didn’t love and accept myself. Like truly love and accept ME the person I am and was born to be.
Tears instantly filled my eyes and I started sobbing. It was one of the most powerful and liberating moments of my life. I had finally FREED myself. In that moment I realized as much as I joined the certification to help others it was really meant for me to heal myself first.
Through my own transformation, along with helping family and friends experience their own amazing shifts with these powerful techniques, it solidified how fulfilled and passionate I was to help others in their own journey and I knew I needed to make a larger impact. I invested even further in my own growth and knowledge and became a certified Master Life + Success Coach, NLP, TIME, EFT practitioner and Clinical Hypnotherapist.
And now I am so excited that I am finally able to share my experiences, my knowledge, expertise and training and help you release the limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, negative emotions, step into your power and live an abundant, freedom life, filled with joy, fulfillment, passion, and purpose.
Are you ready to live your life moving forward?
