ABOUT MY JOURNEY
For more than a decade I struggled with my career. Although I’d done everything “by the book”: from my studies to my choice of top employers to professional development, it wasn’t enough. No matter how hard I worked, no matter how many promotions I received, or how much value I could add, it didn’t make me truly happy. I begun to wonder if this was what adult life was about: ticking boxes & climbing ladders until my eventual retirement?
But I was not convinced.
I really didn't want to accept the status quo.
``Seeking, false starts & desperation…``
I’d probably only been working for a few months as a young lawyer when I started my “I need to get out of here campaign”. I believed I’d be happier doing something creative & I longed to start my own business. But there was a huge problem: I had NO idea (or several very wrong ideas) about what it was that I thought would bring me happiness. In the years that followed, I registered multiple business ideas, I took several “get in touch with your inner creative” courses, I even registered to study again. At the same time, I was job hopping & changing roles in the hope that I’d find the perfect corporate job. But nothing I did was working (which was very hard for an ambitious person to accept!). I looked at so many others around me unhappy but carrying on regardless. I was getting increasingly disillusioned & desperate.


I discovered that we each have a unique gift to offer the world & we experience more joy in our lives when we share our gift with others. I realised that this gift is simply our authentic voice.
Your gift = your truth.
I also realised...
… that there’s no separation between our work & our lives – they are one in the same. There’s also no outer world & inner world. No corporate career & creative side-gig. When we live our life in alignment with our inner truth, everything flows.
The most startling of all is that by doing this inner work I realised that I could offer my gift alongside my career & I became grateful to my career for all that it had taught me and the resources it continued to provide me. I started to really enjoy it and still do!
But – having a deep understanding of personal development – I also knew that this time of clarity would be replaced with times of confusion when life threw a curve ball. And life’s funny like that! So I developed a technique – something I could use every single day – to allow me to connect with my truth & then align my life to my truth.
This healing didn’t only impact my work but my entire life.
This was the true beginning for me… the integration of inner & outer, of work & life.
