My journey from burnout to balance

When I was 14 myself and some friends were involved in a serious car accident. I broke my pelvis in 4 places and had two ligament reconstructions in my knee (plus one extra operation because I literally had a screw loose!) Even though I was only 14, this experience taught me that life can be too short and to live every day to the fullest.


Fast forward 11 years, in early 2020 as a result of feeling I needed to do everything to live my life to the fullest, among other things, I found myself overworked and underpaid. I had a monkey mind with constant thoughts and to do lists. I was always busying myself with tasks and socialising so I never thought about what I actually wanted. I believed I needed to be busy and productive all the time to be successful, I thought I had to ‘do’ everything to control the future. I didn’t fully believe in myself and I definitely didn’t trust my inner guidance, I didn’t even know what that was or if it even existed. I didn’t know how to slow down and I always felt like I was wasting time when I was doing nothing. When covid hit I really struggled without all of the usual things I had to ‘do’ but my journey to balance TRANSFORMED my life. A few things I did were:


🌞I joined a woman’s coaching programme to learn about and connect with my soul

🌞I learned how to slow down and how to calm my mind, realising that rest is productive

🌞I started connecting with myself for what felt like the first time in a long time. What do I think? What do I want?

🌞I quit the gym I was forcing myself to go to but didn’t really enjoy

🌞I started noticing how I spoke to myself, about myself and to other people. I started choosing different wording and different actions to support myself

🌞I started reading personal development books, picking oracle cards and strengthening my intuition

🌞I realised what I was interested in, good at & started believing in myself more and more

🌞I became more intentional with my time and energy

🌞I developed a deep trust in the universe, where I feel so supported, guided and I know everything is working out for me

🌞I learned about feminine energy and began tip the scales to a better balance of feminine & masculine energy


My internal shifts were reflected in my external world. I attracted a new job where I was valued and received more money for less stressful work, I found a community of like minded people in my area, I kept seeing signs & synchronicities & I found the perfect holistic health coaching course to become a certified coach (Institute of Integrative Nutrition). A few years later I’m doing my souls work and supporting other people to find balance & live the life they truly desire!
