Why I became a high-functioning alchoholic, and what happened next...

Yesterday. Tomorrow. The Unknown.

Naked. Heart wide open. Surrendering to life.

Looking back...my journey of transformation all began consciously four and a half years ago on my 34th birthday (a 10 day silent retreat does that to you 😝) when I decided to get out of my own way, invest in myself and TRULY align with my values, principles, mission and purpose to create life that I LOVE! #personalalignment

And in between it all, I continue to reflect, observe, ask for help, practice loving myself, honouring myself, living with an open heart, and creating time and space to live a peaceful and fulfilling life of contribution, passion and purpose.

And so it is.

The journey continues.

The spiral of ascension, as Tamala Ridge, my Addictions Specialist calls it.

Everyday continues to be a new beginning.

Everyday continues to be a blessing.

Everyday I thank my lucky stars for waking up with an opportunity to continue experiencing being human.

The uplevelling never ends.

And each day I make a consicous choice to be better than the woman I was the day before.

Whilst basking in the magic of being human on this planet, at this time.

You?

✨Who do YOU choose to be, as we prepare to transition into this new year of possibilities?

They are endless. 

Me? 

Here’s to continuing to do the work to bridge the gap between power and leadership.

By doing and being all that is humanly possible to raise the vibration of the planet.

So that we can continue to contribute to bringing more harmony to our world.

✨✨✨

My clients tell me I’m a force 🔥 to be reckoned with.

The truth is, it’s been a journey. 

One that I have been taking step by step.

Change 🚀 happens fast.

Intentional action ✨ takes time to embody.

Personal alignment 🦚is a moment to moment job.
