Living Your Purpose
Whilst working in Finance as an IT manager and even before that, if I’m honest, I have always had a yearning to do something where I can be of service to others in a way that deeply touches their lives. I had a strong desire to elevate my coaching side hustle so I could help more women but I wanted to add healing to my offering too. I knew that working in Tech was not my final destination but I didn’t know how I could break free and turn my back on the security that full-time employment appeared to bring. I had too many doubts so I stayed put.
I would get home from work feeling completely exhausted, with very little energy left in my tank for my daughter or even myself! I lived for the weekends which I mostly ‘slept’ and ‘cleaned’ away whilst I watched in despair as the national retirement age would rise… and rise… and rise.
WAITING TO RETIRE IS NOT A GOAL
I’ve often thought how absurd it was that our biggest goal in life was to work for 50 years before we felt we could finally live and do the things we’ve always dreamed of. It’s a goal that’s culturally ingrained into us in the Western world. I remember feeling trapped and utterly dependent on my income and the materialistic trappings I’d acquired using that income - the house with a mortgage, the car, etc.
OUR TRUE CALLING
When I discovered energy healing, 10 years ago it lit a fire in my belly that I had almost given up on. I made the changes I needed to make and found the courage to start my business in 2015. It took me 5 years to leave my corporate job, mainly due to family commitments and self-doubt but I knew I needed to do this for myself - I was ready. If I knew then what I now know and teach, I would have left much sooner.
I’ve honestly been living my purpose for 10 years now. I wake up each day feeling free and so blessed to be making a difference by doing something that enhances the lives of so many women.
As women, we can spend so many years giving to others and sacrificing our own dreams. As we get older and our responsibilities lighten we’ll notice our inner calling getting louder. I believe it’s our birthright to be doing what brings us joy… doing what’s in our heart and following our purpose.
It doesn’t have to be connected to income, it’s whatever is calling you. It could be to start or expand your business, help marginalised communities, start a sustainable village, become an artist, live off-grid, write a book of poetry or relocate overseas. 🎉✨
STILL FEELING STUCK?
If you are where I used to be, holding a strong internal desire to do something more, perhaps something that you’ve never shared with anyone before, but your self-doubt and a lack of confidence is keeping you stuck know that your dreams would not have been shown to you if it were not possible for them to come to fruition.
Sometimes we just need a little guidance, so if you need my support book a free Coaching Alignment Call with me so I can find out more about your goals and we can see if coaching is the right next step for you.
With love and light
