When the Student Is Ready, the Teacher Will Appear (And Sometimes Life Has Other Plans)

 

How a smelly bus ride, a mysterious voice, Tony Robbins, a firewalk, grief and an unexpected pregnancy taught me more about personal power than I ever imagined.

Messy Life Lessons & Enlightening Shit  -  True stories from a life of questioning, growing and occasionally making a complete dickhead of myself.

 

What if your intuition is one step ahead of you?

 

Have you ever had a feeling about something that made absolutely no logical sense?

A sudden urge to call someone.

A dream that seemed strangely significant.

A little voice that wouldn't shut the hell up, even though you had absolutely no idea what it was trying to tell you.

And then, sometime later, something happens.

Something that makes you stop in your tracks and think:

Hang on a bloody minute. How did I know that?

 

I've had more than a few of these experiences throughout my life.

And one of them involved a smelly bus ride, a mysterious phone call, Tony Robbins, walking across burning hot coals and discovering that someone had quite literally unleashed their power within me.

But we'll get to that little surprise.

First, I want to tell you about some birds.

Yes, birds.

Bear with me. I promise this is going somewhere.

 

The birds that seemed to know what was coming

 

Some time ago, I watched a documentary called Connected, and one particular story fascinated me.

It explored how certain migratory birds appear to adjust their migration patterns in ways that anticipate future weather conditions. Like way in the future like 3 - 4 months!

Scientists have observed that some birds alter their departure times or migration routes in association with environmental conditions that may signal severe weather months ahead.

 

Now, the birds aren't sitting around watching the six o'clock weather forecast.

They appear to be responding to subtle environmental information that we humans might not consciously notice.

Scientists are still investigating exactly how these extraordinary navigational and environmental sensing abilities work.

But it got me thinking.....

 

What if there are signals we're constantly receiving that our conscious minds simply haven't learned to recognise? or we're too fucking busy to stop and actually acknowledge them.

 

What if our bodies are picking up information long before we can logically explain it?

And what if some of those strange little nudges we call intuition are worth paying attention to?

 

I'm not suggesting we're all secretly psychic meteorologists.

Although, quite frankly, that would be bloody handy in Queensland. The weather is all over the place at the moment and I have 4 loads of washing to tackle.

 

But I've come to wonder whether intuition sometimes recognises something before our conscious mind catches up.

And this brings me to one particularly memorable bus ride.

 

From hairdresser to gym manager with a little help from a dream

 

Years earlier, my life had taken a significant turn.

I'd been a hairdresser, owned my own business and taught at TAFE.

I was successful at what I did.

But something had shifted.

I no longer wanted to spend my life doing what I'd always done.

You see, at just 23 years old, I'd been diagnosed with a massive tumour in my head.

Nothing quite rearranges your priorities like being confronted with your own mortality before you've even figured out what the hell you're doing with your life.

That experience had profoundly changed my values.

I realised something that many people don't fully appreciate until much later in life.

 

Your health really is your wealth.

 

Because you can spend your entire life chasing money, status and success, but when you're lying in a hospital bed wondering what your future holds, suddenly those things don't seem nearly as important.

I wanted to work in health and fitness.

There was just one tiny problem.

I didn't have any qualifications or any experience. 

 

Then one night, I had a dream. Nothing unusual.

In the dream, I'd gotten a job working in a gym.

I woke up thinking, Well, that would be bloody amazing.

 

So I did what people did back in the prehistoric days before online job applications.

I opened the local newspaper.

And there it was.

A gym advertising for staff.

I applied.

During the interview, I explained that I didn't have any fitness qualifications.

Their response?

"Oh, that's fine. We provide in-house training."

Well, would you look at that!

I got the job.

 

Within six months, thanks to my previous business experience, I'd become the manager.

And within another six months?

I was bored shitless. It was a small facility and I learn quickly. I wanted more.

 

I'd reached the top of a very small ladder.

I loved the industry, but I knew I had more to give.

I just didn't know where the next opportunity was hiding.

 

Sometimes opportunity doesn't arrive wearing the outfit you expected

 

I went on to complete my Certificate III in Fitness and while I was there (yes those were the days you didn't sit behind a laptop in your pyjama's and learn),  I met a wonderful woman named Jo.

She worked at a much larger women's health club.

We became good friends, and one day she rang me.

"We've got some jobs available. I'd love you to come and work with us!"

I was excited about the facility.

It was bigger, busier and offered far more opportunities.

 

But the positions available?

Not so much.

They felt like a step backwards. Boring! Been there done that!

Something inside me kept saying, No. That's not it.

 

So I stayed where I was.

Until one day, seemingly out of nowhere, I had this overwhelming urge to ring the owner of the health club she worked at.

I couldn't explain it.

I just knew I needed to call.

So I did.

She told me about the positions they had available.

And again, none of them felt right.

 

Then I randomly asked:

"Do you have anything in management?"

She paused.

"Well, actually, I was only thinking the other day that I should get a manager in."

BINGO!

"Yes! That's me! That's the job I'm ringing about!"

I went in for the impromptu interview the next day.

And I got the job.

 

Now, you could call that coincidence.

You could call it good timing.

You could say I was simply proactive enough to ask for what I wanted.

And perhaps all those things are true.

But I also know that if I'd ignored that inexplicable urge to pick up the phone, the opportunity might have passed me by.

 

Sometimes intuition doesn't hand you the entire map. It simply asks you to take the next step.

 

And that's exactly what I did.

Little did I know that this was only the beginning.

 

The bus ride from hell and the mysterious message

 

I absolutely loved my new job.

The facility was fantastic, the staff were wonderful, and there was so much potential.

But I soon discovered that things hadn't been going particularly well before I arrived.

Several staff members told me they'd been on the verge of walking out.

Management had become a nightmare.

Morale was low.

And I realised I had quite a challenge ahead of me.

 

I wanted to become a better leader.

Not just someone who could manage budgets, rosters and operations.

I wanted to understand people.

Why do we behave the way we do?

Why do some people thrive while others struggle?

Why do we sabotage ourselves?

And what actually helps people believe in themselves enough to change their lives?

I'd already begun exploring personal development, and I was hungry to learn more.

 

Then came the bus ride.

Picture this.

I'm sitting on a bus heading home from work.

Beside me is a woman whose body odour could quite possibly have been classified as a biological weapon.

I'm trying to breathe discreetly through my mouth.

And suddenly, this phrase starts going around in my head.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Again.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

And again.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Now, I'd heard this old saying before. I think it was one of those Zen, Lao Tzu sayings.

 

But why the hell was it suddenly playing on repeat in my head?

I tried to ignore it.

Another waft of BO.

Oh, sweet Jesus.

And then:

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

It was bloody relentless. Shut up brain!

 

And then my phone rang.

Hello, Tony Robbins calling. Well, sort of.

 

On the other end of the phone was someone from a marketing company.

They were inviting me to attend a presentation the following evening about Tony Robbins.

For anyone unfamiliar with Tony, he's an internationally known motivational speaker, author and life coach whose work focuses on human behaviour, personal development, beliefs, emotional states and creating meaningful change.

At the time, he was already a huge name in personal development.

The caller explained there was an event happening the following night.

Would I like to attend?

My immediate response was no.

I was working late.

I already had plans with a friend.

And quite frankly, I didn't feel like rearranging my entire evening for some marketing presentation.

 

Then it happened again.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

I stopped.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Was THIS what that phrase had been about?

I couldn't explain it.

But something inside me was giving me a very loud YES.

So I changed my plans.

And the following evening, off I went.

 

Now, somehow they'd managed to make it sound as though Tony Robbins himself might be there.

Spoiler alert.

He wasn't.

Not even close.

 

It was essentially a sales presentation for his four-day event, Unleash the Power Within.

And there I was, sitting in a room full of people being encouraged to invest a substantial amount of money in personal development.

Normally, my logical mind would have had approximately 47 reasons why this was a terrible idea.

But something else was happening.

That little voice was still there.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

 

The Toyota Prius that never was

Here's where the timing gets even stranger.

Just a few days earlier, I'd been approved for a loan to buy a car.

And I had my heart set on a Toyota Prius.

I wanted something environmentally friendly, economical and aligned with my values.

But at the time, I couldn't find one available.

I'd been looking around without much luck.

 

So there I was, sitting at this Tony Robbins presentation with access to money I'd only just arranged.

And I had a decision to make.

Buy the car I wanted.

Or invest in myself.

Now, I don't know about you, but spending a substantial chunk of your car loan on a personal development event probably isn't something a financial adviser would enthusiastically recommend.

But my intuition was practically jumping up and down waving its arms.

THIS. DO THIS.

So I did.

I purchased a VIP ticket to Unleash the Power Within.

I'd just downgrade the car.

Problem solved.

Or so I thought.

 

Four days of firewalking, emotional breakthroughs and motivational madness

 

Unleash the Power Within is a four-day immersive personal development event.

The premise is that many of us are living far below our potential because of the beliefs, fears and emotional patterns we've accumulated throughout our lives.

Tony teaches that we can learn to recognise those patterns, challenge our limitations and make more empowering decisions.

Some of the key concepts include:

• Your past doesn't have to determine your future. Just because something has happened before doesn't mean it must continue happening.

• Your beliefs influence your possibilities. If you believe you're incapable, unworthy or destined to fail, those beliefs can shape the choices you make.

• Your emotional state matters. How you feel influences how you perceive situations and respond to challenges.

• Fear doesn't have to make your decisions. You can experience fear and still choose to move forward.

• Decisions shape your direction. Wanting change and actively choosing change are two very different things.

• Fulfilment matters more than achievement alone. Success means very little if you've lost yourself along the way.

 

These weren't just interesting ideas.

They were ideas that challenged how I saw myself.

And then came the firewalk.

Yes.

Actual fire.

Hot coals.

Bare feet.

The whole bloody lot.

We were taught how to get ourselves into a particular emotional state.

Focused.

Determined.

Confident.

And then we walked across the coals.

I did it!

I walked across fire!

Mostly unscathed.

 

I say mostly because, as I stepped off the firewalk, a little piece of hot coal managed to lodge itself between my toes.

And I ended up with a blister.

Apparently, my newly unleashed power didn't include completely fireproof feet.

 

But the experience was memorable.

Not because I'd suddenly become superhuman.

And certainly not because walking on hot coals is a magical demonstration of unlimited potential.

But because I'd done something that initially seemed terrifying.

I'd challenged my perception of what I could do.

And that experience became a metaphor for something much bigger.

 

How many things do we never attempt because we've already decided we're incapable?

How many opportunities do we dismiss because we don't believe we're good enough?

How many dreams do we quietly abandon because our internal story says:

Who do you think you are?

I began to see how much of our lives can be shaped by the limitations we place on ourselves.

And I left that event believing I had far more to give than I'd previously imagined.

I could become a better leader.

I could create meaningful change in that health club.

I could help people believe in themselves.

I could do things I'd never previously considered possible.

I was inspired.

I was motivated.

And I was absolutely bloody exhausted.

 

Turns out someone else had unleashed their power within me

Throughout the event, I'd been feeling strangely flat.

I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I was tired.

Really tired.

I'd assumed it was the intensity of four days of motivational madness.

The long hours.

The emotional highs.

The constant stimulation.

But a couple of weeks later, I discovered the real reason.

I was pregnant.

Yep.

While Tony Robbins had been teaching thousands of people how to unleash their power within...

Apparently, someone else had already unleashed theirs within me.

And I was growing a tiny human.

Well.

That certainly wasn't on my vision board.

The father was an ex-partner I was no longer with.

A lonely one-night very drunken shag had somehow turned into a little life growing inside me.

 

And suddenly, all those wonderful lessons about personal power were about to be tested in ways I hadn't anticipated.

Because it's one thing to stand in a room full of thousands of people shouting affirmations and believing you can conquer the world.

It's another thing entirely to find yourself pregnant, unexpectedly, with no partner beside you, wondering what the actual fuck you're going to do next.

 

When life doesn't give a shit about your five-year plan

I experienced every emotion imaginable.

Shock.

Fear.

Confusion.

Disbelief.

And somewhere underneath it all...

Joy.

Because I'd always wanted children.

Just not quite like this.

Not at this time.

Not under these circumstances.

And definitely not with an ex-partner following a one-night encounter.

But life, as I've discovered repeatedly, has a rather spectacular habit of ignoring our carefully constructed plans.

 

I remember going to pathology for my blood tests.

I was trying to explain my situation to the woman taking my blood.

"This wasn't planned," I said.

She looked at me with the kind of wisdom that only comes from seeing thousands of people move through life's unexpected moments.

And she said something I'll never forget.

"Love, look around you. Half the people on this planet wouldn't be here if women only had babies when they planned to."

And just like that, something shifted.

Not because all my concerns suddenly disappeared.

But because I realised I wasn't the first woman in history to find herself in this situation.

And I certainly wouldn't be the last.

I didn't have to have everything figured out.

I didn't have to know exactly how the future would unfold.

I simply had to decide how I was going to meet the situation in front of me.

And that was when I began to understand something important.

Personal power isn't about controlling everything that happens to you.

It's about discovering who you choose to be when life doesn't go according to plan.

 

The real firewalk was only just beginning

I had some difficult conversations ahead of me.

I needed to tell my boss.

I needed to tell people at work.

I wasn't feeling well, and there were things I couldn't simply pretend weren't happening.

I could have hidden.

I could have invented stories.

I could have allowed shame or embarrassment to dictate my behaviour.

But I made myself a promise.

I would tell the truth.

I would own my circumstances.

I would stop worrying so much about what everyone else might think.

And I would meet this experience with as much courage and integrity as I could.

Was I scared?

Absolutely.

Did I know what I was doing?

Not a bloody clue.

But suddenly those lessons from Tony Robbins weren't just concepts I'd scribbled down in a notebook.

They were becoming real.

Your emotional state influences your choices.

Well, I certainly had plenty of emotions to work with.

Your beliefs influence what's possible.

Did I believe I could navigate this?

Fear doesn't have to make your decisions.

Could I have those uncomfortable conversations anyway?

Your past doesn't have to determine your future.

Could I create a beautiful life even though this wasn't how I'd imagined it beginning?

And perhaps most importantly...

You are capable of more than you realise.

It was time to find out.

 

And then came the absolute heartbreak

As the weeks passed, something unexpected happened.

The initial shock began to settle.

The fear softened.

And I began to feel genuinely excited.

I was going to have a baby.

A little human.

My little human.

This wasn't the story I'd planned.

But it was becoming a story I was falling in love with.

 

Then one morning, I noticed some spotting. I was 13 weeks. Past the elusive 12 weeks so I thought I was "safe".

I wasn't feeling quite right.

I made an appointment with my doctor, who sent me straight for an ultrasound.

I remember lying there while the sonographer examined me.

Then he said something that made the room feel very different.

"The heartbeat is very low."

I asked what that meant.

He hesitated.

"We're not really supposed to tell you this, but there's a very high probability you're losing this baby."

I looked at him.

And all I could say was:

"Thank you for letting me know."

 

Not long afterwards, I received the news.

I was losing the baby.

And just like that, the future I'd only recently begun imagining disappeared.

There's something particularly strange about grieving a future you hadn't originally planned.

One moment, you're trying to make sense of an unexpected pregnancy.

Then you're imagining a little person.

A family.

A future.

And suddenly, you're grieving someone you never got to meet.

 

I hadn't planned to become pregnant.

But once I'd embraced the possibility, I'd wanted that baby.

And losing that possibility hurt.

Deeply.

There was no motivational speech that could make that pain disappear.

No amount of positive thinking could change what had happened.

And no firewalk could prepare me for the emotional reality of losing a pregnancy.

But perhaps this was where I began to understand personal power at a much deeper level.

 

Being powerful doesn't mean you never feel powerless.

It doesn't mean you never cry.

It doesn't mean you always know what to do.

And it certainly doesn't mean you can control life's outcomes simply by believing hard enough.

Sometimes personal power looks like having the courage to face the truth.

Sometimes it looks like allowing yourself to grieve.

Sometimes it looks like getting out of bed when your heart is breaking.

And sometimes it looks like accepting that life has taken you somewhere you never wanted to go.

Without abandoning yourself in the process.

 

So, was that voice on the bus trying to tell me something?

I've thought about that bus ride many times over the years.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Why did that phrase keep repeating in my head?

Why did the phone ring at that exact moment?

Why had I been approved for a loan just days earlier?

Why had the car I wanted been unavailable?

Why had I felt so compelled to rearrange my evening and attend a presentation I hadn't even been looking for?

Was it all coincidence?

Was my mind simply recognising opportunities that aligned with what I was already seeking?

Or was there something deeper happening?

I don't pretend to know.

But here's something fascinating.

 

Can the body know something before the mind does?

Researchers have conducted some rather intriguing experiments exploring what is sometimes called presentiment.

In certain studies, participants were shown randomly selected images on a computer screen.

Some images were emotionally stimulating.

Others were neutral.

Researchers measured physiological responses, including changes in skin conductance and other indicators of nervous system activity.

Some experiments reported subtle differences in physiological activity before participants saw the images, depending on whether the upcoming image was emotional or neutral.

 

Like their body knew BEFORE the emotionally charged image actually flicked up on the screen

Let that sink in.

The researchers were investigating whether the body might show measurable differences before an unpredictable event occurred.

Interesting.

 

There is no established scientific consensus that humans can predict random future events, yet many people do and can.

 

But the research raises fascinating questions about perception, anticipation and the relationship between our bodies and conscious awareness.

And it reminds me of something I've become increasingly interested in throughout my work.

We don't consciously process every piece of information our nervous system receives.

Our brains and bodies are constantly responding to patterns, sensations, memories and environmental cues.

Sometimes we experience that information as a feeling.

A sense.

A nudge.

An inexplicable knowing.

That doesn't mean every gut feeling is correct.

Fear can feel like intuition.

Old conditioning can feel like intuition.

Anxiety can produce a very convincing sense that something is about to happen.

Learning to distinguish those experiences is part of developing self-awareness.

But I also wonder how many times we dismiss a quiet inner nudge simply because we can't immediately explain it.

And what opportunities might open up if we became a little more curious about those whispers?

 

What if intuition isn't there to tell you the future?

Here's something I've come to believe.

Perhaps intuition isn't necessarily about knowing exactly what's going to happen.

Perhaps it's about recognising the next step.

When I dreamed about working in a gym, I didn't receive a detailed five-year career plan.

I simply woke up with an idea.

And I opened the newspaper.

When I felt compelled to ring the owner of the women's health club, I didn't know she was considering employing a manager.

I simply made the call.

When that phrase kept repeating on the bus, I didn't know it would lead to a Tony Robbins event.

I simply listened.

And when I decided to spend that money on personal development rather than the car I'd planned to buy, I certainly didn't know that experience would become part of the foundation for the work I do today.

 

Each time, I followed a nudge without knowing exactly where it would lead.

And each time, something opened up.

Not always something easy.

Not always something comfortable.

And certainly not always something I'd have chosen.

But something that became part of my journey.

Looking back, I can see how those experiences helped shape the person I was becoming.

 

The lesson I didn't know I was learning

When I first attended Unleash the Power Within, I thought I was going there to become a better leader.

I wanted to inspire my team.

Improve the health club.

Understand human behaviour.

And learn how to bring out the best in people.

 

And yes, those things happened.

Over time, we built an incredible team.

Staff morale improved.

We created a culture I was genuinely proud of.

The business began making a profit for the first time.

I expanded my qualifications, became a personal trainer, taught exercise classes and learned practically every role in the facility.

I loved that chapter of my life.

But the greatest lesson I took away wasn't about managing a business.

 

It was about understanding the invisible limitations we place on ourselves.

The stories we tell ourselves about who we are.

What we're capable of.

What we deserve.

And what we believe is possible.

Because I've come to realise that we often don't live according to the full extent of our capabilities.

We live within the boundaries of what we believe we're capable of.

And sometimes those boundaries have been there for so long that we mistake them for truth.

I'm not smart enough.

I'm too old.

I'm not confident.

People like me don't do things like that.

I could never.

I'm not worthy.

Who am I to want more?

We repeat these stories until they become familiar.

And familiar starts to feel like fact.

But familiarity isn't proof.

And a belief isn't necessarily the truth.

 

You don't have to believe every story your mind tells you

 

This is something I now explore with clients every single day.

So often, people come to me feeling stuck.

They know they want something different.

They want more confidence.

More peace.

More freedom.

Better relationships.

A deeper connection with themselves.

But there's an invisible handbrake.

Something underneath the surface that keeps pulling them back into familiar patterns.

And quite often, those patterns made perfect sense at some earlier point in their lives.

Perhaps staying quiet kept them safe.

Perhaps pleasing everyone else helped them feel accepted.

Perhaps being hyper-independent protected them from disappointment.

Perhaps believing they weren't good enough stopped them from taking risks that once felt overwhelming.

These patterns don't necessarily disappear simply because we intellectually understand them.

Our nervous systems, emotions, beliefs and learned behaviours all play a part.

And this is why I'm so passionate about the work I do today.

Because personal growth isn't simply about thinking more positively.

It's about becoming aware of the patterns shaping your life and creating opportunities to respond differently.

It's about recognising when your past is speaking louder than your present.

And discovering that you may have more choice than you previously realised.

 

The real meaning of unleashing your power within

Looking back, I can see the irony.

I paid a substantial amount of money to attend an event that promised to help me discover my personal power.

I walked across burning coals.

I challenged my fears.

I learned about beliefs, decisions and emotional states.

And I left feeling ready to take on the world.

Then life handed me an unexpected pregnancy.

Some uncomfortable truths.

A future I hadn't planned.

And ultimately, a heartbreaking loss.

And suddenly, all those lessons weren't theoretical anymore.

They were being lived.

Not in a room full of cheering people.

Not with motivational music playing.

Not with someone shouting encouragement from a stage.

But in the quiet, messy, deeply human moments of everyday life.

And I began to understand something.

Real personal power isn't about becoming someone who can conquer everything.

It's about developing the capacity to meet life as it unfolds without losing your connection to yourself.

It's the courage to make decisions.

The willingness to take responsibility for your choices.

The ability to question your limiting beliefs.

The humility to recognise you don't know everything.

The strength to face difficult emotions.

And the wisdom to understand that being human means sometimes getting it spectacularly wrong.

Sometimes life gives you exactly what you hoped for.

Sometimes it gives you something you never imagined.

And sometimes it takes away something you've only just begun to love.

But through all of it, there's an opportunity to discover more of who you are.

 

 

When the student is ready...

I used to think the saying "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" meant that someone wise would suddenly arrive and teach you what you needed to know. Hahahaha! 

And sometimes that happens.

Sometimes the teacher is a person.

A mentor.

A coach.

A friend.

Or even a larger-than-life motivational speaker who convinces you to walk barefoot across burning coals.

But I've come to realise something else.

 

Sometimes the teacher is life itself. LET THAT SINK IN

 

Sometimes the lesson arrives disguised as an opportunity.

Sometimes it arrives as a challenge.

Sometimes it arrives as heartbreak.

And sometimes it arrives as a phone call while you're trapped beside a woman with spectacularly offensive body odour.

You don't always recognise the lesson while you're living it.

Sometimes you only understand its significance years later.

And perhaps that's one of the most beautiful things about being human.

We don't need to know the entire journey before we begin.

We don't need to have every answer.

We don't need to be fearless.

And we certainly don't need to wait until we feel completely ready.

Sometimes we simply need to become curious enough to listen.

Brave enough to take the next step.

And willing enough to discover what happens.

Because the voice that whispers "Maybe there's more for you" might just be worth listening to.

Not because it can guarantee the future.

But because it might be pointing you towards a possibility you haven't yet allowed yourself to imagine.

 

And here's what I'd love you to consider...

Is there something you've been feeling drawn towards lately?

Something that keeps appearing in your thoughts?

A conversation you want to have?

A change you've been contemplating?

An opportunity that excites you but also scares the absolute shit out of you?

Perhaps you've been waiting until you're more confident.

More qualified.

More financially secure.

More certain.

More ready.

But what if readiness isn't something that arrives before you begin?

 

What if readiness develops because you begin?

What if the next chapter of your life doesn't require you to know how the entire story ends?

What if it simply requires you to believe that you're capable of taking the next step?

Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do isn't to change your entire life overnight.

It's to stop allowing an old story about yourself to make all your decisions.

And perhaps, just perhaps, that quiet little whisper you've been dismissing deserves a moment of your attention.

You never know.

It might lead you somewhere extraordinary.

Or it might lead you to a Tony Robbins seminar, a firewalk and a life lesson you definitely didn't see coming.

Either way...

The student is ready when they're willing to learn.

And life, that magnificent, unpredictable, occasionally fucked-up teacher, rarely runs out of material.

The shitshow is the lesson.

If this story resonated with you, particularly the part about beliefs, self-doubt and the patterns that keep us playing small, this is exactly the kind of work I explore through my one-on-one Mind-Body Coaching and Kinesiology sessions.

Because you don't have to spend the rest of your life being directed by beliefs you never consciously chose.

Sometimes the first step towards change is simply recognising the story you've been living inside.

And realising you have an opportunity to write a different chapter.

Clear the static. Hear yourself again.

You're welcome to explore working with me at Everyday Inspiration Mind Body Wellness.

 

 

And if you've ever had one of those bizarre intuitive moments that made absolutely no sense until later, I'd love to hear about it.

Because I have a sneaking suspicion I'm not the only one who's had life deliver a lesson in the most ridiculously unexpected way.

Until next week's messy life lesson and enlightening shit...

Trust yourself enough to take the next step.

You don't need to see the whole staircase.

P.S Wait until your hear about how I ended up at his next event Date with Destiny. Still Blows my mind!  Date With Destiny was truely in my Destiny. That ones next week
