I'm in NYC & 👀 of my book 📖

HI! I am in NYC 🗽

Incoming photo spam & also an excerpt from my BOOK that I’m writing here 📚

Now that I’ve shared some piccys with you, let’s dive in.

I am writing this from the Hoxton Hotel, Williamsburg, in NEW YORK. I am finally in NYC, after planning and ideating for the past 8 months. 

One day, New York came into my consciousness and on Dec 26th, 2023 I booked flights. 

I didn’t know how it’d work but I knew I wanted to write my book here. In that moment it was an ‘I must go’. 

I live my life like this. 

I get an idea, I come across a synchronicity or something feels like a sign or desire and I act on it. 

It’s messy. 

It’s confusing. 

It’s also something that feels right.

It’s not void of fear. 

It’s not a fuck yes. 

It’s a quiet, internal knowing, an ‘ahhh yes, I must follow this’. 

I’ve been writing the first draft of my book and I wanted to share the following excerpt with you… 

“We often don’t know what we want until we acknowledge what we don’t want. The more we get rid of what we don’t want, the more space we make for new and more aligned experiences to present themselves. I believe the clearing is in the clearing, meaning, when we begin to clear away the stuff that no longer serves us; people, places, spaces, jobs, things; we create clearings and those clearings are opportunities to step into a different way of being. 

In many of my workshops and courses over the years I’ve coined the term ‘the purge’. We all know the saying ‘out with the old, in with the new’, the same applies for our lives. Think about your wardrobe, the clothes you no longer reach for, the things you’re keeping ‘til you lose some weight or because they cost ‘x’ amount. These items no longer represent who you are becoming. 

If an outfit, apartment, location, job, space, relationship or way of being no longer serves who you want to become, you have full permission to begin the purge, begin the clearing, one micro messy action at a time. 

It is scary because it’s unknown. Our ego loves familiarity. Even if that familiarity is doing more harm than good. We’ll dive into the ego more as we go on.  

Joseph Campbell says “the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek”. Oftentimes, we don’t feel courageous enough to go head first into a dark cave, especially when we feel like we’re riding solo in our current emotional state. Creating micro clearing after micro clearing can help us take that first step. Once we’ve made that first step, we’re away, we gain momentum and as soon as we’ve got momentum, we’re unstoppable. 

It’s the standing on the precipice of change, yearning to leap, but fearful the net will absolutely not appear, that stops us from realising our hopes and dreams.

The missing piece for me when I set out on the journey of quitting my tech job and starting my own life coaching business was support. I didn’t know of anyone that had done what I was about to do. Eventually my first teacher appeared because I, the student, was ready. 

I’d done a serious amount of clearing. 

The Infinity Loop Of Self Actualisation is a felt experience, it cannot be analysed by the mind. 

When we start off on our self discovery journey, we tend to be very cerebral, needing to understand how it could possibly work. Over time, through a lot of messy action, we’re able to flex our trust muscle and the how becomes less relevant, we lean on how we feel more than what makes logical sense. The synchronicities of life tend to do us many a favour, the quote “fortune favours the brave” comes to mind, traditionally a latin proverb, meaning, this stuff has been around for a long ass time! 

If someone breaks a leg and they have a cast on for some time, when they get the cast off their leg is a lot skinnier. The muscle has somewhat atrophied from a lack of use. In a matter of days/weeks of weight bearing and use, the muscle begins to strengthen.

Think of your courageous messy action muscle like this, the more you use it, the more momentum you gain, the more momentum you gain, the more motivation you naturally cultivate as a result. The more motivation you cultivate, the greater the outcome, the greater the outcome, the more caves you enter and on it goes, synchronicity after synchronicity because you are saying to the universe “I trust that I can’t fuck this up, I am looked after when I go after my dreams”. The crazy outcome? Your dreams actually begin to come true. 

When you’re living in the infinity loop of self destruction and continue to delay your dreams and stop yourself from starting, you can find evidence all around you that it couldn’t possibly work so it’s safer to keep doing what you’re doing. 

This coming week in our Messy Action Community, we’re diving into the Lifestyle Design Workshop I created end of 2022 (our weekly Wednesday group calls will be focused on this) - think purging, vision boarding, dreaming, ideating and taking messy action toward a life and business you actually want, designed BY YOU for the next iteration of you, alongside people like you.  

For the next 24 hours I am keeping the sign up price at $44 USD and after this, it’ll be set to $66 for the next 15 people that join. 

The group is popping off with realisations, support and personal growth. In short, people are getting results from being in the presence of one another. The 🦢’s in the group are in pursuit of what they actually want from this life. 

Join us here, you can cancel anytime if you feel it’s not for you. 

Who is this for:

It’s for coaches, creatives, designers & conscious business owners that want to UPGRADE their lifestyle, beliefs and live life, their way ❤️‍🔥
