Be true to you: discovering your authentic path
I have spoken to many people this year who are feeling a major call towards change.
The energy is like there is no mucking around - its time to live in alignment with your soul, and let whatever is not in alignment to fall away.
You know I am not an astrologer, but I pay attention to major transits; like Pluto travelling into Aquarius for the first time in over 200 years.
This marks a period of profound growth and change - both individually and collectively.
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was in the 1700's, which marked a time of game changing revolutions around the world. We are set to see the same again.
Bring it on I say!
So we really are moving into a time where we are called to align our lives with your true, authentic spirits.
It is what we need to birth a new world together - one that comes from deep connection to our divine nature. It's what's been missing for so long and what has caused such a devastating disconnection to one another and our beautiful planet.
So as we navigate this period of transformation, I wanted to share my top tips to help you connect - and remain - true to yourself and your inner knowing in life, love and work:
Regularly spend time alone. For me, that is meditation, prayer and journalling every morning. And going for walks on my own (without my phone!). This time on your own is vital to start to hear the voice of your own spirit above the noise of everything (and everyone) else.
Tune into your intuition. Learn what a yes and no is in your body. Is a ‘yes’ expansive, exciting, calming or a feeling of lightness for you? Does your body tell you ‘no’ through heaviness, tight chest, sick belly or something else? Learn to decode your body. This is your sixth sense and learning to trust it will change your life.
I can help you trust your intuition, but unprocessed trauma can affect your ability to 'read' your body, so I highly recommend working with a somatic therapist to help you reconnect back with your body first.
What energises and drains you? Another way of connecting to what lights up your spirit is to pay attention to the energy givers and the energy drainers of your life. Then do more of what energises you, and less of what drains you (although sorry, taxes still need to be done!).
Set boundaries. You are allowed to say no to things that drain you and don't feel right for you that you have control over. Trusting it's okay to say no - and then saying it - is liberating for your soul.
Make time to daydream. Create space for daydreams - stop scrolling, turn off your phone, get your fav beverage and stare out the window. I am forever grateful for a friend who taught me the delight of this. I often will also daydream on walks and in bubble baths.
Pay attention to your daydreams. Not everything you daydream about is an intuitive message, but some are… so what are reoccurring daydreams of yours? When I noticed myself daydreaming a lot about being single and travelling the world, I realised it was time to leave my marriage.
Take risks and leaps of faith. Your soul came here to grow and evolve. This requires stepping out of your comfort zone. This will feel scary. Don't wait for the fear to disappear. It won't. Dig deep into courage and walk forward despite your fear.
Create your community. Pull people in close who believe in you and who you believe in too (this can include working with a coach like me). We are going to get through these changes together and through rediscovery the power of community and how interconnected we all are.
I go into these tips more on the podcast - including sharing more of my own personal stories, including the little shared story of me being true to myself and discovering my queerness later in life.

Free discovery chats with me
Feeling the call for change in life or work to align it more with your authentic self, but want some support?
If you are curious about working with me, I invite you to an obligation-free 20-minute chat to see how my work can support you and see if it's a fit for what you need right now.
It's a short, casual (free) conversation via Zoom.
It's our opportunity to get know each other and for you to ask any questions.
Definitely no sales pitch - I will simply share how I might be able to support you.
If not, I can usually recommend other resources or practitioners.
I will also guide you through a short technique to help balance your thoughts and emotions (which you can then use anytime you need to!) and pull an oracle card with a prayer for your next steps.
It's my intention you will walk away feeling more centred and connected to your inner spirit.

It would be lovely to connect,
