I used to sit at home, snuggled deeply into my armchair watching endless boxsets. Because I was scared.What was I scared of?Scared that my dreams and desires were never to be realised.Scared that I had lost who I was.Scared that inspiration, motivation was never to find me ever again.Scared that I was stuck in an unhappy marriage with my husband dictating where our life was going.Scared to even get in my car and drive down the road.And you know what this did to me?I shrunk myself smaller and smaller.I hid away from the world.Isolated myself from my friends and family.Feeling this deep sense of shame.And I let it fester inside me until it ran through my bloodstream and I believed I was no longer worthy of anything.UNTIL...UNTIL that day. I remember it clearly.My (then) husband and I had just had another humongous row. We were in my kitchen. And I stomped off and sat at my computer.I said to myself..... THIS CAN'T BE IT.This CAN NOT BE MY LIFE.And you know what I did?I booked an extended trip to Bali. So I could a) train to be a yoga instructor b) get my travel on (cos I've always wanted to travel more.When I told my husband he stared incredulously at me and said these words..."How the hell are you going to make this happen, you have no money"And I replied...."I WILL FIND A WAY"And I did.I worked my ass off that year (and to be honest I haven't stopped working my ass off since 2018).I became DEVOTED to myself and my dreams.I stopped worrying about the HOW and started focusing on what I needed to do each and every single way.I stepped into the identity of a woman who was going places, who believed in herself (however shaky that was at the time) and I MADE SHIT HAPPEN.I saved more than enough money for this trip.And I got on a plane in November 2018 and flew to Bali.Now, between you and I, I hated the yoga training and knew somewhere deep inside me that being a yoga instructor was not for me. YET, during this trip I DISCOVERED WHO I WAS AGAIN.I met some wonderful, happy people and I found myself laughing, and having fun. MORE than that, my imagination woke up and I started to welcome my dreams and desires back into my world.I do believe one of the most poignant moments of that yoga training was when I woke up from a meditation and realised I had to divorce my husband. (Psst..It took another couple of years for me to action this download. Hey, it takes as long as it takes).When I returned from this trip I MADE MYSELF A PROMISE.And that PROMISE was to get out of my comfort zone each and every single day in 2019.Boy! Was that challenging. It really pushed me out of my comfort zone again and again.And in the process of getting out of my comfort zone and developing my DEVOTION to myself and my dreams I opened up my membership for midlife women. I started to work privately with many women and I cultivated a solid presence online as one of the GO-TO experts in the midlife arena guiding women back home to themselves and their power.Fast-forward to today. I have fully taken the reins to my life. I have continued to grow and expand (our true nature is evolution, we are not meant to stay the same), I have moved countries, become more savvy with money, and continue to ask myself the question "how can I best serve others in this one and glorious life of mine?"And that leads me to where I am today. On the cusp of another deep evolution of myself and the work I'm here to do.After working with 1000's upon 1000's of women over the years I have come to
