So I designed a life I love!

Big Statement, but Oh So True

I really have designed a life I love! I have been actively and consciously working on improving my life and lifestyle for years, investing a huge amount (time, money & energy) on creating a life I love through personal development, behavioral change and improving the quality of all my relationships. Reflecting on that is super emotional but also incredibly empowering.  To acknowledge all of my growth over the past few years makes me feel very proud, but also super excited about where I might be in the future!

Back in 2015 my life looked completely different to now...

I had a number of health issues, was in an unhappy marriage & was not working. I had few real or genuine friendships, a total lack of boundaries and terrible self-esteem. I didn’t know what was important to me, or what I even wanted my life to look like. I knew there was so much more to this one, precious life I had, but was so stuck in my unhappy existence.

Fast forward to now, and every aspect of my life has massively improved. I have attended a number of self-development courses and seminars and worked with a Psychologist. I am constantly consuming personal development books and podcasts, and have a number of daily practices to manage my mind and mood. I take full responsibility for my life and choices, and am conscious and intentional about how I spend my time and who I spend it with.

I finally took action on my long held dream of working in the psychology field, completed my Counselling & Life Coaching qualifications, and started my business (aka passion project!) part time.

Where I'm at now

I am now happily divorced (if that’s even a thing!?), have a corporate job that I love at a fantastic Australian company, I’m active, and in the best shape of my life – both physically & emotionally. I am a better version of myself and a much happier and engaged Mum to my two boys. I have a clear sense of self, clarity on my priorities & boundaries, and simply amazing relationships with family and friends. I can honestly say that I love my life!
