It’s time for some honesty
I’m not perfect.
I don’t have it all sussed.
My voice may calm you but I’m not always calm.
Don’t be fooled by the zen-like exterior!
What I do know is that I am living the life of my dreams.
I am creating a life that works for me by undoing, every day, the habits of success that led to me crashing and burning, damaging my health and relationships and losing touch with an essential part of myself.
And part of this is standing up and owning all my knowledge and skills in this area.
Because helping you create a life that works for you, helping you undo those habits of success and replace them with habits that allow you to have work you love that supports the lifestyle you want without compromising your health and relationships - that is my meaningful work that I LOVE.
