And just like that, I turned 48, completing another revolution around the sun.
It feels like a rich tapestry has weaved it’s way through this next phase of my life and I took a moment to reflect upon some major milestones I achieved over the past year that got me here today:
💫 Moved on from my sales tech leader role which I loved, but no longer aligned with who I am and my deeper life purpose
💫 Completed my Psychedelic assisted Therapy certification
💫 Decided to change careers and move into the wellbeing space
💫 Restarted my Therapeutic Arts Masters degree
💫 Went on a Pilgrimage across NW Spain walking & biking over 950kms and walked over 977K steps!
Let me tell you, integrating all these experiences this year has been super profound and powerful! And that's the beauty of experiencing momentous life milestones, they all, big and small, require some sort of integration. Reflecting upon the what each has to offer for me to learn more about who I am and what relationships might form as a result of these experiences. Relationship to self, to another, and to the space in between.
A new sense of self through a profound Rebirth
While I celebrate another birth year, I am also celebrating the 1st anniversary of my Rebirth. It was a year ago I sat the trifecta Kambo, Iboga, Jaguar and everything after that transformative weekend changed for the better. Earlier in 2023, I received an intuitive message saying I will rebirth this year, fast forward to November and that exact thing happened as I sat in ceremony the weekend before my birthday. I gained a new sense of self through a profound rebirth as I sat the medicine that informed me of my past and lighted the way for my future.
My greatest takeaway was surrender and let it unfold. Easier said than done, but the rewards are tenfold!
The chain of events that transpired afterwards were all catalysts for each other as I connected to my spirit self who led me through a year of releasing everything which no longer served and opened doors for that which I needed to invite into my life. It's important to pause and take inventory of where you are and what is adding value to your life and what is taking away. I asked myself:
What is important to me now?
What is holding me back?
What can I change to help me move forward?
If not now, when?
I wanted to move out of the work I was doing which brought me great knowledge, but wasn't filling my cup the way I knew working in the wellbeing space would. So I quit. I took some time to focus on my health, overcoming burnout. Then I made the choice to walk the Camino Frances. I reconnected with my faith, more so than I ever had in the past.
My mantra became, 'If not now, when?' and I realised that I would be doing a disservice to those I will work with should I not start now. I got out of my own way and turned on the beacon in my lighthouse, lighting the path for those to arrive safely amongst the unseen rocks. Using all my learnings, skills and wisdom, here I am, in service to those in need.
And so I celebrate 48 years of experience and wisdom gained, and I celebrate my first anniversary of the new me!
The invitation is to walk with me into the unknown as your trusted companion ...
