I have always been a firm believer that it is possible for everyone to live a life doing what we love, being comfortable and confident in our own skin and making a difference in the world - in our own unique way.
In 2016, after years of working in events, marketing and promotion with nightclubs throughout the country I eventually came to the stage where I was feeling lost, very stuck and frustrated living from a comfort zone. I knew I needed to find something that challenged me but also brought me to life in a way that was right for me. It had to feel right. I had to know deep down that it resonated with who I was - with the very essence of my being.
Leaving something that afforded me security, comfort and everything that most people in their mid twenties think they want was a big call and a tough one to eventually make - but one I have never regretted. Through courses, twists and turns and life learning on the way I have ended up working in a career where I get to work with others to bring out all their innate strengths, gifts and abilities to create a life, career, business or relationship that is authentic, meaningful and sustainable.
The beautiful thing about it? I use my own innate gifts, strengths and abilities to help others find theirs. For a long time I didn’t even know I had any.
As part of this journey I have taken on many trainings to keep my professional skillset expanding and deepening while also fostering my own interests and curiosities. This has allowed my life, and my career to evolve together - as opposed to separately.
