Welcome 🙏 this is a place to find who you are, and what you want your life to be about and for.

Through accessing your own personal journey story, you will connect the dots to find who you really are for yourself and in turn find a way to express the who you are for yourself, to the world.

I’ll share what’s made the difference to me in my life, in service of and to empower you with your own discovery, your own pathway.

Looking forward to connect.

Create Act Serve is the formula introduced to me in high school and I have carried it with me through life, among other frameworks.

I have been stuck at a lot of crossroads in the last year and hence my absence, my true self appears to be hidden, taking time to protect herself from the wider world.

But she’s ready to be brave and explore what’s possible, by starting to be authentic.

I am the product of my choices, I can change my choice, in an instant. What am I choosing? I am focussing on ways of being here. So more accurately; Who am I choosing to be? I choose to be just me because that’s really all I can be and see what arises. For me, that has been what is missing - my whole true self.

When you are thinking about where you are at today and you’re somehow feeling stuck?

What will you create?

What activities and actions will you take?

How will you be of service to others?

When you are going through a career change or transition, it’s normal to also go through a wave of emotions.

What you improve over time and through these experiences is the time it takes to work through the emotions gets quicker, because you’ve been there and done it before.

Also, with experience you learn to verbalise what you’re going through. Perhaps, it is just a story going on in your mind as opposed to reality, what is going on around you.

First of all accept that you have attached your identity to what you do, a specific role or organisation, then realise that you are much more than just that.

Second, recognise it’s you who brings the colour to fill the page so that you can detach your identity from what you do (or what you did). Your identity is much more than that. Your identity is what you say it is, your vision, mission, purpose and values which is limitless and infinite. The colours you choose for the page.

We all hold fears within us: a fear of not being good enough, a fear of failing. But we can trust that we got ourselves to where we are right now, so with trust, we can keep moving around the corner to the opportunities that lay before us, unfolding.

Being patient and true to ourselves, being present, being authentic, not trying to be something else to make up for not being good enough or a fear of failing.

Letting go of our stories that don’t serve us. Stories that disempower. Let them go.

Welcome to first and last draft.

I set this up on the premise that our first draft can be our last draft. It’s all about getting your story told and not thinking you’re not yet qualified to write or tell your own story.

What is key is that you are coachable and flexible and open to working on yourself, being willing to look at yourself and your life, and invest in your own self development.

I share from exactly the place I stand, my exact experiences and my exact journey. I share from a place of wanting to make a difference and teaching from what I’ve learnt through my experiences and journey.

You won’t find an exact formula. I believe we all have our own pathways to find and it’s through sharing my own pathway to purpose, that will uncover yours.

How you use this discovery to generate an income and sustain you and your families life is also entirely up to you and will begin an unfolding of multiple opportunities that you are at the source of creating.

At the age of 12, I began to be brave and courageous to pen the stories of my ancestors, my paternal grandparents.

I’d read the book and seen the movie the Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. I really resonated with so much of Amy’s storytelling, I turned my mind to “…how can I write my story, but just like this?...”

This began my obsession with reading because Tan always explained to be a good writer, you need to read. A lot. I read all of her books, curious to uncover, what I needed to, in order to write my own story. I read other books that told of family and generational stories.

Never once did I think about writing my own life story. I only saw value in writing the story of my grandparents.

You see, one day, I was overwhelmed with anger, frustration and sadness at not being able to experience a relationship with my paternal grandparents because they passed on before I was able. However, the only reason I knew I was missing this relationship, was because I had a very connected, loving, kind relationship with my maternal grandmother, my popo.

So began my journey to understand myself that day, by writing. I overheard a singer songwriter on the radio say that songwriting was a cathartic experience for her. That interview and her words resonated with me. At first, I thought maybe I needed to be a songwriter but hold on I don’t know how to write songs, and I asked myself well do what you know to do and then I decided I would translate her message across to my writing. I told myself, I want to write, perhaps through this journey of writing, I will heal my heart, the same way this singer songwriter healed hers through songwriting.

You too have your own version of this. A story that is waiting to be untold. A story that is waiting to be unravelled. A self enquiry that is and has been your life’s journey and purpose.

I just didn’t realise even for myself until now, just how important these moments were for me. A loss of a loved one has granted me with the muscle to flex. It’s now or never. When will you just get on with telling YOUR life story?

You don’t know who is waiting to hear it. You don’t know the impact on that person waiting to hear it. And it could save someone else’s life, for them to read, see or hear your story, as a book or as a movie.

It could lead that person on their own life’s journey to fulfill their own life’s purpose. And it could bring them meaning, purpose and a will to search and find the things most important to them.

What are you waiting for? if you need help to find the milestones in your own story, you just have to be willing to observe and listen to the quiet of your mind. Use the experiences in your life to navigate you closer toward the things that are most important to you.

If you are like me and you have children, you have even more of a reason to leave a legacy behind you. What will you leave that will connect them with you through time and space? Whatever you create, will be this. But your deep reason, is to become this person who trusts yourself and listens to your heart.

Have you ever just wondered: What do I do with my life?

I was 12 years old when I first asked this question.

I asked the question over and over and in many different ways with the language of a 12 year old but ultimately the question I was looking to answer was: “What is the purpose of my life?”

And so my search began. I looked everywhere. In tv, in movies, in song, in books, and guess what? It began my journey to write. And through writing, I found my purpose.

I’m reaching out now to the version of me that’s out there right now, you could be any age, but maybe you’re at a crossroads, no matter your age, trying hard to figure out “Who am I and what is my life for?”

My messages are for you. And if you are willing to follow along this journey, to be coachable and believe that as you begin to trust yourself, by making a difference and standing for something greater than you, you can turn your life around in that moment where you make this declaration:

⭐️ I don’t need to know the meaning of life, I can create what my life is for and about, from this day forward, by being deeply curious, listening to the authentic voice within (it’s not a disempowering voice) and observing the things that are most important to me. ⭐️

Right now, if this doesn’t resonate for you just yet, that’s ok, just remind yourself, that you are on a journey of discovery, to find the answer that’s true for you.

Until you begin believing in yourself, I’ll be right here believing in you.

It doesn’t matter that it’s a new year, every day is a new day, what’s great about a new year is to remind you that every day is a new day.

Happy new year 🥳

Have you ever wondered who am I and what is my life for? What is my purpose?

As a child you may often have heard questions like this but unsure how to work through these questions in a way that let you uncover and discover what was important to you.

Then you began sifting through those around you, what’s good, what’s not, do I want to be just like them, or not?

What if the answer is as simple as dropping all the things that aren’t you and allowing yourself to be.

Allowing yourself to enquire what is most important to me, what is the difference I want to make and what legacy do I want to leave behind?

This is how life rolls: we can have expectations but then we can surrender and receive what life gives us? Sometimes BEING present is all it takes

Unconscious bias (Im unaware of them) Conscious bias (I’m aware of them) or Conscious unconscious bias (I’m aware I have bias but unaware specifically what those bias are).

The point is we ALL have them conscious or unconscious, we just have to listen to ourselves or give permission to others to let us know “that is a bias”.

It’s actually super important because we are “conditioned”. It’s the only way to become free of the constraints and conditions of our past - you actually don’t realise how locked in your conditions you are til you are freed of them. When you are, you will become someone who recognises how you are 100 percent responsible for creating a safe world, one where everyone belongs, is included, celebrated not just accepted, feels valued and is valued for their contribution.

What’s in it for me? When you become this person it’s like you have a sixth gear and anything is possible for you.
