Our world is calling out for conscious leaders right now. And I believe you are one of them.
Conscious Leadership, first and foremost, means self-leadership. It means having the courage to self-reflect so that we can come to grow, every step of the way. It means becoming the change we wish to see in the world around us. We cannot lead others unless we are willing to lead ourselves first.

As a society we don’t often speak openly of the emotional, mental and physical impacts on infertility and involuntary childlessness on individuals, couples and families. So today, I’m inviting us to break the silence and own our stories so that we can unite as one sisterhood this Mother’s Day.

Our Big Visions need us to hold them and to be the very love that they are here to manifest. Our Big Visions are love in action. If we are engaging in fear-based patterns of behaviour we will not create our business from love but from fear. If you have been feeling sucked into old negative patterns of behaviour lately you are not alone. Let’s tune in to the Loving Disruptor in us, who is fiercely committed to unleashing your Light, and call fear out.

So the New Moon in Leo on Saturday invited us to tap into our Lion’s heart and look honestly at how we’ve been going about our business. Literally!

As a mentor to heart-led entrepreneurs, I often get asked the question: how can I know what my purpose is? Having a sense of purpose and knowing what our true purpose is is not the same thing. I know. Until I came to understand that I was worthy of an abundant life being me, I ploughed my energy into causes that sought to justify my existence through worthy causes. Knowing our purpose is all about seeing ourselves and loving what we see.

It’s hard for me to take in, but this month, The Wish Tree Academy turns 2. It’s been 2 of the most incredible, life-changing years of my life. From a tribe of zero, we are now thousands. From a community of nil, we are now hundreds of Lightworkers, Coaches, Wellbeing facilitators, Artists, Activists, Healers of all kinds. When we let ourselves out of the prison of fear, the fear that comes from our past, we can finally be fully present. And THAT’S when the magic happens. It’s only when we are present in the now that we can align with Love, Source Energy and be the vessel we have said YES to being in the world. That’s what I did when I said yes to my heart-led business, and that is what I want for you too.

I often speak to wellbeing facilitators who are exhausted, don’t make time for their own rest, put their clients’ needs before their own and drastically undercharge for their services. But there is NOTHING spiritual about any of that. It’s time to get our priorities right. Almost every time I am on a call with my magnificent coach, Lisa Nichols, she reminds me of the importance of serving from an OVERFLOWING CUP. Not a full cup. An OVERFLOWING cup. To her, and now to me, that means embracing abundance in ALL forms UNAPOLOGETICALLY so we can show up fully in our service.

When we allow ourselves remember who we truly are, when we detox from our addiction to what other people may think of us, we are truly free to create a breathtaking life and bring our gifts to the world.
A life where we are aligned, congruent with our purpose, mission, and message.
A life where we have nothing to prove.
A life where we have no one to please.
To me, this is the ultimate form of autonomy -the right condition for self-government.

The Paradigm of Separation that has controlled our every move for 3000 years, taught us to rush, push, prove, shut up and put up, ignore the messages of our bodies, the rhythms of our lives, our connection to Mother Earth, which means that one of the most powerful acts of defiance of the Patriarchy is, in fact, resting.
I searched for Peace in all the wrong places, because I was on the run. On the run from a story deep inside me, formed through the trauma of abandonment in the earliest part of my existence, that insisted that I wasn’t enough, just as I am. That story owned me, held me hostage, wrapped me in a cloak of shame.
I believed I had to somehow justify my existence. So I set out to find peace by proving my worthiness through worthy causes. I became an angry peace activist. Fighting for the underdog, fixing on the outside what felt broken on the inside. Rescuing others, whilst neglecting my own needs.
I also sought peace through perfecting, performing and pleasing, attempting to find belonging and approval through external validation.
But it seemed that no matter how hard I tried, it – I – was still not enough. I was deeply entrenched in the hamster-wheel of never enough.
I numbed my pain through many addictions: rushing, pushing, working myself to exhaustion, co-dependent relationships and partying hard.
Spirit stopped me in my tracks many times and told me, in no uncertain terms, that I would soon hit a dead end if I carried on living my life the way I was.
Yet, in my stubbornness, I wouldn’t listen.
Yes, I made some small changes. I began a modest self-care and yoga practise, but many of my destructive patterns persisted.
I was still on the run.
My beloved mother died suddenly and tragically. I lost my family home. The toxic relationship with my father hit an all-time low and broke down.
I suffered post-traumatic stress alongside my grief.
All the while I was trying to keep up with increasing demands in my career and to form a deeper relationship with my new partner, in a city where I had no friends or family of my own.
The gift of my circumstances was that I woke up. I began to study many spiritual teachers. I allowed myself to be held and supported by healers and guides. I embarked on a journey to heal my life.
Little by little, I pieced together my fragmented past and began to see clearly how most of my decisions, for as long as I could remember, had been dictated by internalised shame passed on through generations.
I trained as a Transformational Life and Leadership coach. I re-connected with joy and intuition.
I discovered that I desired, more than anything, to become a mother. It had been my best-kept secret all those years when my life didn’t belong to me.
But I wasn’t getting pregnant. And my belief in scarcity came flooding back – why was I unable to achieve what everyone around me seemed to be able to, with seeming ease? The old familiar fear of not being enough, and unworthy of wonderful things- came to haunt me yet again.
Eventually, my successful career came to a halt due to fertility treatment. My whole life now centred around trying to achieve my singular goal. I tried every advice, read every article.
I had, once again, attached my happiness, my ability to fully experience peace, to external circumstances. Outcomes that were out of my control that, yet, I still tried to force. My life became contracted.
It wasn’t until the heartbeat of my unborn baby stopped, that I finally stopped.
Shortly after, I was told by doctors that I would never be able to birth my own healthy, living child in this lifetime.
That’s when everything became still. And quiet.
Perfectly quiet, so that at last I would listen.
Listen inwards to who I truly am, beyond my human incarnation.
As I lost almost everything that I held important in my life, I found the real truth of who I am: Love, Light.
I learned who my true teachers in Love are, and it was revealed to me that radical gratitude is the miracle that re-shapes our story, that gives us the gift of our lives back, that allows all of our lives to be magnificent. From start to finish.
I learned that absolutely nothing and no-one on the outside can make me whole and complete.
I learned that Peace begins with me. With Love. With knowing that not only am I enough, but that I AM, in fact, Love.
In 2016, I was guided to create an online platform – an Academy for Lightworkers – to heal our core wounds, return to Love, and live our highest purpose through our abundant heart-led businesses, contributing to the healing of the world.
It quickly grew into a vibrant, thriving community anchored in Love, Peace and Mother Earth connection, enabling healers, coaches and wellbeing facilitators of all kinds, to create our own legacies of light.
