‘Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood.

It doesn’t matter.

The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you’re going to be seen. All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are.’

~ Brianna Wiest

2023 has been a BIG year of personal growth and change for me as I leant into what it feels like to choose and invest in ME, and the words above from Brianna Wiest are really ringing true for me.

I have spent much of this year working behind the scenes re-inventing the business foundations for Simple Sacred Everyday and cultivating clarity on who I am, what I offer and who it is for.

This work has had me bump up against so many stories I have unconsciously held as a woman around what I am ‘allowed’ to do, what I am capable of and the value of what I share in the world.

I feel I have definitely mined the proverbial ‘depths’ and I am grateful for the lightness I feel as I slowly re-emerge.

I have not done this work alone and I offer my deepest bow to the many extraordinary women and men who have held my hand, encouraged me, guided me and cheered me on. Thank you 🙏

I have had amazing business and personal mentors to give me the guidance, support and encouragement I have needed to keep taking the baby steps towards my dreams.

My inspiring 1:1 clients, online community, yoga students, and retreat participants have blown me away with their courage and conviction to realise their truest, most authentic self through the sacred trinity of self-responsibility, self-love and self-care.

I am also so very grateful for an amazing group of soul sisters (you know who you are!) who inspire me to hold steady through the discomfort, to keep taking one step in front of the other as I pick myself up and dust myself off, more times than I care to remember!

And all the while my beloved self-care practice has given me a sacred space to come ‘home’ to me, to hold my heart and remember who I really am as I continue to kick my limiting stories and unhelpful conditioning to the kerb.

So thank you my friend for being a part of this amazing conscious community of beautiful human beings who are ready to ‘do’ life in a way that deeply values rest, creativity, authenticity and fulfillment.

A Gift for You
