You change your thoughts and you change your world.
Norman Vincent Peale
I have been at rock bottom more times than I care to admit.
In the trenches of my emotions, at the mercy of my mind and having no idea how to pull myself out.
Completely at war with myself, my body and my life.
For the majority of my twenties I was in an internal battle - desperately wanting to feel good about myself and my life but not knowing how to get there. Looking for external validation and yearning to hit the milestones society says we ‘should’ hit as confirmation I am doing ok.
I was tearing myself apart at every opportunity, numbing through drugs and alcohol, settling for relationships that didn’t serve me and where I had zero boundaries and had the genuine belief that ‘maybe this is just how my life is supposed to look’.
It's only when I started to realize, the power is all within me.
It isn’t about my external world changing, it is about my internal world changing. The dial started to shift, and I started to put the work in to firstly take responsibility for my life; look at where I was self sabotaging and what thoughts and behaviours were associated with this (boundaries in relationships, relationship with alcohol and so on), really be honest about what I wanted and where I wasn’t acting in a alignment with this and cultivate an abundant mindset that allowed me to view my life through a completely different lens - one that was positive, inspired and empowered.
The journey has been rocky to say the least but let me tell you, I have never ever regretted going on it, I have never regretted investing in myself and my life.
The best thing I have ever done is believe in something better; a better mindset, a better life and a better me.
Let's find your better. Let’s find your power.

If there is one thing I want you to do today, it is to be kinder to yourself.
We spend so much time beating ourselves up internally, berating ourselves for making certain decisions, not being a certain way/looking a certain way.
It is exhausting, it gets us nowhere and reinforces those negative thought patterns and beliefs.
Could you choose to be kinder to yourself today?
What would that look like?
How would that feel?
