If you find yourself wanting to be ahead of where you are now — I am inviting you to take this moment to pause. To acknowledge where you are and what this season of your life is teaching you.
As someone that always wants to be ten steps ahead.. I’ve really struggled with trusting where I am. To surrender that I may not be able to bend time with my own two hands.
We’ve got to trust that there’s magic going on behind the scenes of what we can see. Waiting for it to show up to feel good about where we are would be asking ourselves to wait out our lives.
Where you are now is perfectly curated for the timing of your life. Let go of the pressure to be where you are not 💚 right here, right now — is all any of really have.

Yesterday someone shared with me their own experience of the book that really spoke to me..
“things are finally shifting for me. I’ve read so many self help books but this is the first where I’ve felt it all click into place. I have this sense of healthy detachment and ease as new things are coming into my life”
This book is hopefully a breath of fresh air for those that are used to the self help category telling you “how to live your life”. The type of resource that tell you that you’ve been doing it wrong and there’s only one way to do it right.
I don’t believe it in that at all. There’s no one way.
Your own answers are always going to be the best for you and your path. The principles in this book are to guide you to awaken your inner knowing, your compass and magnetic energy so that you radiate that effortlessly. Reinforcing self trust and surrendering this idea that you need to live in any way other than what feels true for you. 🌹🤍
Imposing expectations onto your life deprives you of noticing all the miraculous ways life is trying to guide you to new solutions, new experiences, ones that would lead you to an alternate route to what you so desperately crave.
Holding onto a specific outcome or event ends up blinding us from seeing all the ways life is trying to redirect our course.
Instead of believing we are working against our lives, perhaps we could start trusting that they guide us in a way we might not be able to make sense of until we arrive where we always wanted to go.
Perhaps it is guiding you now, trying to take you in a new direction. What if you trusted where it led you and remained open to what happened next?
When we accept what is happening in our lives, we open ourselves to seeing what’s in front of us more clearly.
Instead of focusing our attention on everything not going to plan, we release the idea that our plan is the only way.
Suddenly we can look at our lives as an invitation to explore a new way forward. To let ourselves be guided by the events that unfold rather than impose our restrictions on what should.
When you flow with the river of your life, you will always arrive where you are meant to be. The sooner you trust your life is always unfolding in perfect order, the sooner you will be able to surrender that your way is the only way.
What is this season of your life trying to teach you? In the challenge you face, what skill is it cultivating within you? Our lives are constantly shaping us, melding us into who we are here to be. Instead of resisting, what if we trusted it was serving a purpose we may not immediately recognise?
repeat after me - I enter this day with an open mind and an open heart. What is meant for me will land in my life. What is not for me will pass right by. I am at peace with this moment. I am at peace with myself.
I spent so much of my twenties waiting to be chosen without realising in waiting to be picked by someone else, I was actively communicating that I wasn’t choosing myself.
Everything changes when you shift that equation around. When you choose you.. powerful things happen.
That energy radiates from you. People can feel when you value yourself & your worth, it’s infectious. But you can’t get to that place by sitting around and waiting for life to pluck you from where you are and take you where you want to go.
You’ve got to get clear on what you want and choose it for YOURSELF.
THIS is the intention behind why I built the radiate meditations - a space to choose yourself daily and reinforce who you want to be in this world.
You don’t need to wait to be chosen, you simply need to decide that no matter what you’ve got you. No matter the opportunity, person or circumstance, you can trust that you’ve got your own back.
That through it all you can see your unshakeable worth of what it is you desire. Even when you’re faced with the contrast of that experience.
If you are here then I’m betting that you’ve read a lot of the biggest self help & spirituality books like I have. I searched the pages of those books for patterns.. for the directions to create a successful and vibrant life.
Want to know what I found?
That the more time I spent reading about how to do it.. the more I continued to put off just DOING IT.
It’s easy to hide behind the research phase. As much as those books changed my perspective on life, it didn’t change my life until I put the words into practice. That’s why in my own book I made sure to include a practical exercise at the end of each principle.. to integrate AS you read rather than simply intellectualizing.
If you’re reading this I want you to know that even though your skill may not be where you want it to be, even though you may not feel fully prepared or capable - the only way to make it happen is putting one foot after another.
That’s the difference between those that do, and those that do not in life. Simply taking consistent action. So here is your loving invitation to get started 🩵
From inside my notes app in the first few weeks of motherhood. Stretched would be an understatement - and yet, that exact overwhelm has been the bedrock for the confidence that’s followed. The self trust that’s begun to solidify began as stress, strain and uncertainty around my capacity.
This is your loving reminder that new horizons require new skills and it’s likely that building those new skills will test you. There may be moments you doubt your ability to rise to the occasion.. trust that it’s all part of you becoming the person you are being called to step into.
If it always felt easy.. you wouldn’t be growing 🌱
