When I was young I created a little space to write and dream about being a great success.

It was just two couch cushions – one for my back and one to sit on, and a small white table that had seen better days.

Everything comes full circle. Fast forward to today…

The last few weeks I’ve loved sitting on the floor in a corner of my office and doing anything from journaling to laying on my stomach using coloured pencils to map everything out.

I didn’t even remember the childhood link until yesterday.

Remembering this memory definitely got me thinking about childhood passions, dreams and fears. One of my favourite quotes you may hear me say quite often is that you can run but you can’t hide.

Distractions don’t actually fix anything – they’re merely bandaids.

I had so many unhealed wounds hiding under these bandaids and it’s time to rip the whole damn lot off.

I’m not good enough.

Not worthy enough.

Not pretty enough.

Not smart enough.

Don’t know enough.

Am not enough.

The thing, is I’ve been working on myself for over 20 years and yet I’m still uncovering deep seated beliefs that have kept me yo-yo-ing all my life.

Enough!

I was raised to believe that life was tough. You had to work hard to buy a house and the ultimate thing in life is to pay off your house.

I was raised in a strict Lebanese Christian household, which meant that had some awesome values instilled in me like honesty and integrity.

The downside to this was that I was shown the black and white view of the world. There were no shades of gray, or even colours in there.

It was dark + gloomy.

Whilst I was pretty cluey, creative and intuitive (always knowing things without knowing how I knew) I was emotionally stunted. Not knowing how to deal with the emotions of life, because I was always taught to stay strong and don’t fall apart.

My Mum is one of the strongest women I know, and I love her dearly. I will always be grateful for the values and life lessons she has taught me. She’s just old school Lebanese.

I totally get that she did the best she could with the knowledge she had, and I love her strength, resilience and intellligence. I lost my Dad when I was 10 and she was both Mum and Dad.

I’m blessed to have awesome siblings. There’s 6 of us – 5 girls and 1 boy. My oldest Sister passed away in 1991 of Brain cancer, and my Mum has raised her 4 kids.

So you see why I have so much respect and admiration for my Mum.

Everyone has their own method of survival.

What are you hiding from in order to survive?

I lived in survival mode for many years. Reacting rather responding.

It’s quite tiring to be in this constant state of fight or flight response.

That’s why I CHOSE to move out of this state.

I choose to be present, grounded and open to receiving.

All of this is an unfolding over time.

Although it will all manifest as it needs to, you can create magic when you just DECIDE.

When you make the decision to be the creator of your life, rather than the observer, shifts happen.

It’s never too late to take charge.

Society has a way of instilling a cut-off or used by date when it comes to creating the life of your dreams. Some peeps think that if they haven’t ‘made it’ by a certain age then it’s never going to happen.

I can honestly say that even though I’m getting older, I feel I have more opportunities now that I didn’t see when I was younger.

There is also more sense of freedom in creating it myself the way I want it.

No more believing that I needed an Employer or a Man to take care of me to survive. I just needed to BELIEVE in ME!

As a Woman, I feel more empowered than ever before.

Growing up in a Lebanese household tends to work in a Man’s favour, so I’m blessed to have witnessed my Mum’s independance from a young age.

My Mum was driving a manual car, when women barely drove. The funny thing is that I even passed my P’s licence on manual, when girls were only driving automatic cars.

Take the lessons, and let go of the emotions.

I used to think that meant stuffing things away, and not FEELING the negative emotion. I learned (the hard way) that I had it totally wrong.

Feel the emotion. Jump right into it. Own it. Release it. Take the lesson. Move on!

Connecting and aligning to the moon has really helped me connect to my emotions on a deeper level.

I shied away from going too deep with emotions, coz I thought it was weak and girly to do so.

Working with the lunar cycle has allowed me to realize that there is a strength in vulnerability. I can be FIERCE and FEMININE without being wussy.

I hated weakness (and still resent it to some extent).

Appearing weak or vulnerable was torture. Some people have the natural ability to show their vulnerability – not me.

I had to work HARD for it.

And it’s STILL a work in progress, but I can honestly say that I’ve come a long way.

I’m proud of my progress every day.

Refining my hustle + flow more deeply.

Ready to share more of my journey, to light the way for you.

If you’re ready to claim your calling. I’m running a live Lunar Hustle + Flow Program starting at the end of June (Cancer New Moon). Think: 8 Live calls at every phase, Private FB group support, hot-seat coaching on each call + an awesome bonus.

From Woe To Flow

I got too caught up in my head again.

THINKING about what I’m going to write, rather than just allowing it to flow.

Some things just can’t be so pre-meditated.

When I get out of my own way, writing and ideas flow. But my Virgo brain gets all caught up with the technicalities and it all goes to shit.

I talk so much about Hustle + Flow.

Staying in flow is just as hard as hustling for the most part, when you’re a multi-passionate Zen Hustler. I’m always discovering new insights about myself, life and business that I get so caught up in.

Today was a classic example.

I started my day as normal, journaling with my Coffee.

But instead of just being in the moment and allowing it to unfold, I started to pre-empt what I would write about, how I would write it, where I would post it etc.

When all I REALLY needed to do, was be in the moment in order for the creative magic to FLOW.

I’m not going to go on about this, coz the message is pretty fricken simple.

Always write your hearts truth rather mindless chatter Share on X

Write what’s in your heart + head right now.

This started off as a ‘how-to’ post, and turned into a heartfelt release of pent up frustration at myself for ‘doing-it-again’.

It’s also a Yin phase today, which means it’s more about going within, stillness and hearing your inner voice who knows best.

This is what I love about understanding Lunar cycles.

It’s not that Yin means NOT working, it’s just that the heart craves something different today and it’s important to honour it.

Some days are more Yang, others are more Yin. Follow YOUR flow.

Now what irks me is when I see peeps using the lunar cycle or Yin phase to NOT do anything. If you are telling yourself this, then it’s time for an honesty check. Hold your own intervention on yourself lol (jokes ok)

Seriously though, ask yourself…

what’s really holding you back?

When I’m stuck I go to my journal for answers.

Get back to basics..

I actually hand write the simplest of question and get the most amazing responses. They’re usually so different to what you had initially thought, and don’t necessarily need to be complicated.

If I’m stuck I’ll write…..

What do I need to know right now?

And then the questions + answers will flow from there.

Some things that tend to happen after journaling are:

:: I end up writing about something completely different to share with my peeps.
:: I receive answers that help me shift an underlying issue.
:: I release deep seated emotions.
:: I replace confusion with clarity.

Be sure to take some time today and everyday to journal to ensure you build your business from a heart & soul space.

Over the last few weeks these words have been running over and over in my mind.

Resonance
Alignment
Sovereignty
Integrity
Truth

I’ve always connected to them, but it’s gone to an even deeper level as I step more into who I am, and what I’m called to do.

I’ve always strived for excellence, so much so that my first coaching business back in 2003 was called Coaching For Excellence.

I later changed it to The Coaching Group because this sounded more ‘corporate’ and therefore ‘credible’. I guess that’s what happens after more than 10 years in the corporate world.

We have a saying in Lebanese that everyone goes back to their roots. Ain’t that the truth.

When I first started coaching my deepest passion was to help corporates tap into their spirituality for increased and sustainable success.

The problem was that I didn’t have a deep enough self-belief, resources, Mentors or confidence to carry this through – hence why I totally changed the name of my business.

Back then there was NO credibility in spirituality. It was about tangible corporate political BS.

I landed a $20k client within months of finishing my coaching and NLP Master Certifications. Every coaches dream right?

I was so miserable.

The client was a corporate client in the finance sector. I couldn’t talk spirituality, and even worse I followed a set system.

I know now that I was looking for love in the wrong places, and not headed down the right path.

1) I was coaching peeps I wasn’t aligned with.
2) I didn’t resonate with their vibe.
3) I wasn’t operating in my own integrity by still coaching even when there was no resonance or alignment.
4) I didn’t honour my sovereignty because I allowed money and status to overrule my authority.
5) I didn’t speak my truth about what made me happy.

Think about the choices you’re making right now. Do the VIBE Test below. Think about your ‘issue’, and ask yourself:

Is it resonating with you completely? Like a hell yeah! if not then it’s a HELL NO!
Is it in alignment with who you are and where you’re headed?
Are you operating with complete integrity?
Are you honouring your sovereignty? As an OG shot caller.
Are you speaking your truth?

It’s time gorgeous.

Time to call in everything you’ve been wanting.
Your heart’s desires.
NOT what someone else wants.

It’s taken me a long time to be able to share my spiritual message. I wish it didn’t, but it did.

It’s been a struggle trying to live in both spiritual and badass world.
Feeling like I had to ‘pick a lane’.
Not feeling credible when I talked about airy-fairy woo-woo stuff.
Feeling out of alignment when I only talked about badassery.

I’ve since had many mentors along the way who’ve created the space for me to show up the way I do now.
