Grab a coffee if it’s before noon and otherwise settle in with a G&T.

I’ve been passionate about telling stories and making an impact from an early age. Being raised in Asia and working in International Development for many years (in Indonesia, Sierra Leone, Myanmar and Thailand), I was fascinated by other people’s stories and quickly learned of the power of words to educate, heal, and inspire. 

However, the path was anything but smooth. For many years, I felt a heaviness. A realisation, or more a fear, that this wasn’t where I wanted to be. I dreaded the day ahead. I would come home depleted. Exhausted and immediately climb into bed to numb myself with cheese, chips and Netflix. Can you relate? 

Anyways, my lust for life dwindled, along with it my self-love. I knew I needed a change yet afraid to make it. Unsure of what lay ahead, I took that little bit of self-trust that I had left, packed my bags, and moved to Bali. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. To stand up for myself. To trust in the unknown. To trust in myself. 

In Bali, I did all things self-healing and soul searching, from women’s festivals to naked yoga, ice baths, and psychics. I also started writing and it became a daily practice, keeping me grounded, at peace, and connected to myself. My words coached me through my fears, pains, and limiting beliefs. 

Writing has allowed me to express and process my deepest desires, fears and dark times. I love that my words not only heal me, but they help others too (or so I’m told!).  I’m told that you relate to my earthly experiences and feel seen, heard and understood. I’ll continue to share so we can all feel a little more connected in this big world of ours.
