I believe that challenging times make great opportunities for personal growth. I work with women to help them feel safe through the discomfort of creating their new normal with love, compassion, support and hope.
I sat silently in the lecture room on the first day of my masters program preparing for the end of life as I knew it. I was beginning my studies in the science of wellbeing, happiness and what it takes to live a flourishing life. Meanwhile my married life and life in general were marching towards a bushfire of the soul, the magnitude of which I could never have been prepared for. My world and everything I knew and loved was about to be incinerated. The bushfire of the soul was to take everything leaving only darkness and pain.
Trauma, including divorce and the life disruption that followed, became the fuel for my studies. What does it take to create a new normal after everything you knew is gone? How do we start again? How do we grow from traumatic experiences to build the life we want?
I have developed the tools to start again and I want to share them with you. The goal is noticing the new shoots on the ground, the dawn of a new day and the return of the birds. This is where we start.
