Who says you have to be just one thing?

With more than 20 years of personal development and holistic health practices behind me, I thought I was well prepared for the moment I said “enough” and left my lifelong teaching career.

I wanted to start living my own life, not the life I was expected to live.

I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do instead, but it certainly wasn't delivering the National Curriculum to a classroom of students.

So, what happened next?

I started growing vegetables.

I rediscovered drawing, painting and creativity.

I facilitated PSYCH-K® — lots of it — and got very good at it.

I deepened my relationship with myself.

I created books and published them on Amazon.

I married the man of my dreams.

And we even moved to Hungary! A Bulgarian woman and an Englishman building a life in a country where we could hardly speak the language. MAD, right?!

Little did I know how much more I still had to learn about myself, how many assumptions I would question and how much patience and courage it would take to keep building a life that felt like my own.

And perhaps that's the thing I've come to understand: change isn't a one-off event. It's an ongoing journey of discovering who we can become when we're willing to question what we've always known and step into the unfamiliar.

I'm still growing, still creating, and still discovering what else is possible. After all, who says we have to be just one thing?

And what about you? 

Is there something you'd love to change?

A dream you've been putting off?

Or a version of yourself you're ready to step into?
