These look like beautiful photos… and they were🦜✨
Golden light, a macaw landing on my hand, a full day spent at the beach.This day, nine years ago ✨️One of the highlights of my time in Adelaide.
I had travelled interstate for a month to teach yoga at a popular studio. At the time, it felt like a dream — expansive, aligned, like something new was opening.
Everything had been set up for me. But from the moment I arrived at the place I was to stay, something in my body felt… off.
That subtle contraction. The kind your body recognises before your mind catches up.
The house felt dark. Curtains closed. Energy heavy. And over time, things became controlling.
There was criticism, pressure, being told not to show emotion and to “perform”… and at one point, being told I was being “broken.”
And also: “one day you’ll thank me”
…yeah, that part didn’t age well.
In between classes, I found space where I could. Driving. Sitting by the ocean. Visiting beautiful parks and wineries. Walking through forests. Solo mini adventures.
And on one of those days… this moment happened.Beauty, magic, and connection 💜
Looking back, it feels like one of my biggest boundary initiations.
These days, I don’t override my body’s wisdom for a paycheck, to prove I can endure something, or to outsource my authority.
I still love teaching yoga. And I’m building something that supports me more deeply — through Soul Coaching®
I still love adventure…but not at the expense of my sovereignty.
I trust my intuition now — even though I didn’t fully at the time.
I leave sooner.
I go where my energy is respected, reciprocated, aligned…
and where I’m met with kindness, care, and genuine respect.
And I don’t need to be “broken” to grow.
I’m deeply grateful for the mentors and people in my life who continue to support me, reflect truth back to me, and remind me to trust myself.Your presence and guidance mean more than I can put into words ❤️
