I am back from Maternity leave today. I’ve just spent the last 6 months in a completely different rhythm of life. -Slower. -Quieter. -Wondering if I was mothering the “right” way Most of my maternity leave I spent on the couch, breastfeeding my baby and staring out of the window across the beautiful Peruvian mountains. It’s funny. This is the life I dreamed of only 3 years ago. -When I was running on empty -When I was feeling burnt out. -When I felt I h[...]
I was 22 when I solo travelled to Peru for the first time. I was 25 when I decided to leave the UK and move to Barcelona to build a new life. I was 27 when I decided to leave my six year teaching career to retrain as an HR specialist. I was 31 when I decided to leave my career in HR to retrain as a Coach. I was 33 when I released my first album (which you can listen to here). I was 35 when I decided to move to Peru to take a chance on love. Now I’m 37. And I’ve[...]
You may know me as a purpose coach. But since I became a mum out here in the Sacred Valley of Peru, the word purpose has taken on a whole new significance. As I write this, I am sitting on my sofa, typing with one finger, expressing milk with the other and rocking the baby with my foot. TALK ABOUT MULTI TASKING! As a first time mum, I have so many questions. Like why on earth didn’t I invest in hands free breast pump?! For many years I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be[...]
With the intensity of summer now behind us I thought I'd drop in and tell you my news! I had beautiful, yet intense trip to Europe this summer. And I came back to Peru 10 days ago with my cat, Clive. He is settling in really well and did so well on the 30 hours journey! But that's not my main news.... I don't know if you know yet...but I'm pregnant! 30 weeks and 6 days to be precise. Which is why my trip to Europe was so intense. --a trip to England to see my family -[...]
I have been the queen of online courses. Most of them kept me distracted and out of pocket. They didn’t really add to my growth, but allowed me to feel like I was moving forwards (albeit superficially). I was investing just enough on digital programmes to pretend to myself I wanted change. But not enough to keep myself from making any deep transformation. Why? Because deep down I was SCARED. ❌What if I failed? ❌What if I didn’t see results? ❌What if I “was[...]
Hi darlings, If you have every moved countries... Or if you are thinking about moving countries... Or if you want to know what it's LIKE to move countries... then this week's newsletter is for you! As many of you know, I moved to Peru in August 2024. For some people the change seemed very abrupt. For others, they knew I had fallen in love with Peru the first time I stepped foot onto the Motherland back in 2012. I had known for a long time that Peru was where I wanted to[...]
Hello darlings! It's been a while since I've shared a newsletter. That's why I thought I'd hop on to share a little about what's been going on for me in the last 10 months since I moved to Peru. If you haven't heard why I chose to leave behind my happy life of 11 years in Barcelona, you can check out that article here. And in the meantime, I've been very busy getting settled in this brand new country. This has involved getting my driving licence and residency, amongst other fun and[...]
In 2023 I lost my life savings. Although at the time it was hard, ultimately was the best thing that ever happened to me. For those of you who know me, you will know about my centre, Anahata. It started as a beautiful dream. But since it was never MY dream, it was doomed to fail. We went about it the wrong way round. Instead of having a steady client base first, we decided to create the centre and hope the clients would come. They did, but not in the amounts we needed to break[...]
I don't have the best track record with partners. In fact, I have had a pattern of attracting narcissists into my life. ❌I've been duped out of thousands of euros ❌Called a doormat ❌Allowed my animals to be terrorised at the height of the gaslighting. But this year I was finally able to meet the man of my dreams. A man who respects me, cherishes and prioritises me. I never dreamed I would have a story to tell like this. But when you're aligned with your heart´s ca[...]
If I had known this one thing in 2020, it would have saved me a lot of frustration. When I had my spiritual awakening, I discovered my Femininity. It was intoxicating. I felt alive, empowered and liberated. I sat in circle and drank cacao and got in touch with my emotions and EXPRESSED my emotions for the first time in my life. I cried with other women who were into REAL connections - not jealousy, bitchiness or competition. I recognised the unhealed part of me that had been h[...]
