I help people change their life for a living. Actually, I think I’m more of a connector and a supporter than anything. I connect people to the tools that they individually need, connect them to a support system and try to instil the power and confidence in them to take control of the life that they desire to live, not the one that they currently live. You see, changing your life is a decision and I want women around the world to feel empowered enough and be provided with the right tools to change their life on their own. We can push, we can hold the hands of those we love, we can beg, but this is an inside job and they must be open and ready to receive the abundance that comes along with it; the struggles, the victories and everchanging transformation.
My own journey began with weight loss. I was blind, so misinformed, and lost when it came time to begin. Every struggle that I have endured up to this point was so I could be a light, a guide for others to find their way too. I made it my mission to take my own experiences, find the good in them, keep myself number 1 and ultimately, I found my purpose in teaching others how to do the same.
It’s scary you know, knowing that there’s more out there for you, knowing that you have a purpose and even more, being strong enough to fight for that; to go against the grain, stand up and stand out so you can be a voice to help others through it, that’s scary! I get it!
If you’re reading this and you’re not chasing your dreams, you’re forcing yourself to go to a job every day where you feel unappreciated and isn’t testing your potential, maybe you want to travel, or finally admit that you need to change your lifestyle and ask for help but haven’t taken that first step because you’re terrified to your inner core of what others will think of you, I’m here to lend my heart and hand. Not just today, but through this platform. We all have a voice and I believe sharing it is the only way we can make this world better, one incredible soul at a time.
Personal Development & Self Growth
We can have the lowest amount of body fat percentage, have an impeccable workout regime, and be bursting with muscle but that does not equal happiness. It’s crucial for us to look inside so we can love what we see on the outside. Understanding why you are making a change in your life, knowing that you are worth making that change for, and being open to that change has to come first. I wish that when I was growing up that I was introduced to this form of learning and selflove, so I’m excited to dive a little more in and share some of my favourite resources with you. In future, I will dive more into the other areas of health; fitness, nutrition, hydration, sleep, etc, but let’s take this one step at a time.
Personal Development is exactly what it’s called, personal, so this has to be something that you want to improve on in your life! Perhaps it is time management, confidence, dropping the excuses to live the life of your dreams, getting closer to your spirituality, leadership behaviours or anything else in between recognizing this so you can take action and make a change is number one.
