I wasn't prepared for the emotional struggle.

As a Master Practitioner and Trainer of NLP, my expectation was I should have mastered my emotions.
 

My disconnection became blatantly obvious.
 

My ability to operate over the top, my will power and determination-driven mindset begins to work against me.
 

The relentless pursuit to become a million-dollar coach is drowning out my authentic truth.
 

Comparisons drain me, strategies consume me, and doubts keep gnawing at my spirit.
 

A few days later I receive a surprising and unexpected message from my intuition.
 

“Move back to Australia”, she whispered.
 

I feel instant resistance… Back "home" after 17 years, I question.
This wasn't in the plan! 

Yet my intuition is relentless – giving me a gentle nudge toward alignment.

I listen and follow the unknown.
 

2 months later, we touch down in Sydney with next to nothing but each other. Greeted by Mum’s big smile and hug.
 

The transition was jarring.
 

I go from chasing false freedom to diving into network marketing, chasing the money and lifestyle I am promised.
 

Until something pivotal happened.
 

A lightbulb moment. I realise within all of the misalignment I am experiencing, I am not following my own truth.
 

I am not living in alignment with my soul, my genius or my passion. I am chasing the money…
 

I tune inwards. Allowing myself to feel and trust my inner wisdom.

My gut. My intuition.. My soul and higher self were guiding me back to MY highest truth, and full soul alignment.
 

In chasing the money and lifestyle I am missing the point.
 

A return to my soul calling and the thing I am born for - coaching.
 

Energised and aligned, my business soars.

Again, exhaustion creeping in again. Burnout is threatening, and I recognise my pattern.

Instead of pushing, and forcing, I choose me.
 

Release. A radical shift toward self-nurturing my focus.

I realise… real success is within.  

No more external validation or relentless striving. 

In embracing myself, I find my true mark of success. It's not about millions but being present, joyful, and aligned. It's about the deep and soulful connections I get to have with the soul-aligned women in my world who are also here to do big things, who have big dreams on their heart and huge visions to fulfill on.

With or without the money, I'm free.

So here I stand today, driven by consistently embracing more of my authentic truth, constantly on the journey and loving every step of the way.

This journey wasn't ever about proving worth but embracing my soul's calling and living it – wholeheartedly.
