I published a book in 2018 about overcoming anxiety and the next thing I know I’m a qualified wellness coach, holistic therapist and catapulted into the wellness industry, even leading to a wellness show on local radio. This led to some serious imposter syndrome and in 2019 as I spiralled down to rock bottom once more I really judged myself and came very close to throwing in the towel. Why?
I am Your Wellness Coach BUT…
- After writing the award winning ‘My Wellness Toolbox’ that shared how I overcame and lived anxiety free for the best part of 13 years, then launching my coaching and holistic therapy business… I hit rock bottom again in 2019 when complex PTSD was re-triggered.
- At 42 I am the most body confident I think I’ve ever been yet I am still not happy about my nearly 9 year old C-section pouch, that isn’t going anywhere, and I’ve been considering cosmetic surgery! (Yes, I am grateful for why I’ve got my pouch but I still don’t like it - that’s ok!!)
- I step on the scales far too much even though I know scales are for 🐠 - it keeps me motivated to maintain a healthy lifestyle yet I also know I don’t need to check in whenever I notice them (which is often)
- I love wine (I’m also a qualified wine taster) and drink on a regular basis… love a NZ Sauv!
- I sometimes make unhealthy decisions and still have moments when I self-sabotage
- I can get angry and sometimes shout at my kids (I am a children’s well-being practitioner so I know why shouting at kids is not actually helpful)
- My husband and I currently having relationship coaching as our marriage broke down at the end of last year
- I sometimes forget to do my daily wellness rituals including gratitude.
- I sometimes forget to live by the Reiki principles (and I am a Reiki Master Teacher)
- I have a “it’s complicated” relationship with exercise. At the moment we are “on” but I’ve been over doing it, I didn’t listen to my knees yelping for help last week on a difficult route and now I’ve got to rest for at least another week. Very disappointed!
- My guilty pleasure is ‘Love Island’. I’m fascinated by people, the psychology and the production. I also switch off and relax so easily watching it… although I know everything that’s wrong about it!
- I haven’t got all my 5h!t together - I drop balls daily and I swear ALOT #pottymouth
- I sometimes forget to use my wellness toolbox - even on the days I’m coaching you to use yours!!
- I am a work in progress. I always will be.
- I did have 13 points but my neurodiverse brain means I needed 14… even though I don’t think 13 is unlucky and now I’ve got 15 😂
BUT… NOTHING!!!
