...is probably very similar to yours. 

Living a life that doesn't feel like your own. Feeling trapped inside your own skin. Feeling stuck in a reality that you didn't think you would have chosen for yourself. Going through the motions but never really feeling like you're truly living.
 
For most of my life, I felt so disconnected from the world. I never felt like I fit in anywhere, like there was nowhere I could ever belong.

I didn't enjoy any aspect of my school experience from primary through to secondary school. I regularly found connecting with others an uphill battle and often felt like I was on the outside looking in.
I ended up changing so much about myself, inside and out, to try to fit in. To feel seen, heard, and understood. To feel liked and loved by someone, by anyone.

As I got older, I began to rely on drugs and alcohol to give me a perceived sense of confidence, to feel capable of connecting with others, to mask my deep sense of anxiety and insecurity about existing in the world.

I was lost and had no idea which direction to go in.

So I settled into the life I thought I was supposed to be living. I met someone. I was climbing the career ladder. Renting a 'proper' house. We got engaged. Got a dog. Got another dog. Started a dog training business.

And all the while it felt like I was living someone else's life. Like I was experiencing life in another persons body, in a reality that wasn't my own.

Until I started waking up.

Waking up to this gut feeling, an instinct, this deep sense of knowing that this wasn't me. This wasn't supposed to be my life. That I couldn't keep living in an existence that wasn't my truth anymore.

I realised I had a choice. I got to choose how my life felt.
I got to choose the kind of life I existed in. 

So I began choosing me.

Making decisions that aligned with the life I wanted to live. Learning how I truly wanted to exist in this world. Beginning to understand how I wanted to feel. 

I began my journey of learning to know, love, and trust yourself.

In all honesty it felt lonely and isolating. Like stumbling around in the dark with no clear path forward. I wasn't just watching my entire world crumble around me, but I was an active participant in dismantling it.

And while so much of it was worth it, and it has helped me grow and become the person I am today, I wish I hadn't had to go through so much of it alone.

My purpose now is to share the knowledge and wisdom I have learnt and embodied over the past few years with you. I don't want to leave you stumbling in the dark not knowing which direction to turn.
I am here to shine a light on your true strength, your ability to forge your own path in this life, your ability to know, love and trust yourself.

Your ability to live a life you have always hoped could be possible for you.

Because it is possible. I am your living proof.

You get to choose to live a life you love.

A life where you know, love, and trust yourself.

And it can start right now.

When you decide to finally choose you.
