I was once stuck in a job which I felt out of balance from, a job which didn’t truly fulfil me. I suffered from skin allergies, nasal allergies, IBS and the emotional side-effects of a stressful career that left me depleted. Thankfully, that all ended in 2010 when, after 14 years in the corporate retail world, I took the plunge with nothing else in the pipeline (not for the first time) and headed out to Australia for a life-changing career break.
I lived in Australia for 5 months, living out of a small room at my brother’s apartment. I read, I meditated, I did my downward dogs, I laughed and I cried and I had my life-changing epiphany.
Those five months forced me to search for new ways of being, new ways of connecting, new ways of believing. Off the back of that trip, I set on the course to a more enriching life doing work that I loved, with the freedom that made my spirit soar.
I won’t pretend it’s all been plain sailing, but it’s a journey that I wouldn’t swap for the world and I now dedicate my work to enabling others to do the same.
