I’ve lived through numerous cycles of high stress and burnout and spent years working on my own personal growth to feel truly at peace and become the happiest version of myself.

I know what it’s like to feel exhausted from the daily grind, climbing the corporate ladder, chasing promotions, starting side-hustles, constantly seeking to achieve more but never feeling like it’s enough. 

I tried the quick fixes - getting through with bulk coffee, living for the weekends and booking regular holidays – all of which helped for a short time, but the stress and burnout would return with a vengeance.

I wanted to create lasting change and feel a constant state of contentment, rather than grinding away to receive fleeting hits of satisfaction. So, I made a commitment to do whatever it took to become the happiest version of myself. 

It wasn’t until I slowed down and looked within myself that I started addressing the root cause of what was really going on.

I spent the following years devouring books, podcasts, and documentaries, participated in numerous courses and workshops, paid for several sessions with coaches and therapists, and completed a postgraduate degree in counselling – before opening a counselling practice and running hundreds of therapy sessions with clients. I consumed more self-development content than many people would in a lifetime, and helped people transform their lives from their most vulnerable places, and the powerful lessons I’ve learnt about human nature have completely transformed my mindset and my life. 

I have built a resilience that has since enabled me to find peace even during incredibly challenging times – from relationship breakdowns to business failures, car accidents and financial crises. Even in times of my most external ‘failures’ and least material ‘successes’, I have cultivated enough inner peace and gratitude that meant I found acceptance in the hardest times.

I now realise I never really wanted the new promotion, or job, or house or business. What I was seeking all along was the feeling I thought they would bring. Feelings of joy and happiness. But these feelings are internal – they can’t be found in external items or achievements. The key to unlocking inner peace and lasting happiness was always within myself.

I now live each day with ease, flow, and joy. I’m excited to jump out of bed in the morning, inspired by a deep knowing that I'm living my truest, most authentic life. I've learnt that life really can be restful and playful while I get to live out my purpose - it's not too good to be true, and I'm passionate about making that a reality for you too.
