I was working for a music mogul and the demands of my job were running me into the ground. I worked 16 hour days, was constantly on call, and was tied to my cellphone at all times. On the outside, my life looked amazing, but internally, I was struggling to keep my head above water. I started experiencing numerous panic attacks that were triggered by stress.I began developing unhealthy habits- bad mood, poor diet & eating habits, and inadequate sleep.
After having a bit of a come to Jesus moment, I discovered that I associated busyness with success, and oftentimes felt inadequate or had serious FOMO if my schedule wasn’t filled to the brim. I realized that this was not the lifestyle that I wanted to sustain, and decided that I needed to make some changes. I knew that there had to be a better way to thrive within the chaos.
I wanted FREEDOM. Freedom to choose what I do, who I serve, and how I work. And that’s when my life started to change. By making myself and my wellbeing a priority, I not only started to thrive, but I found more freedom. I set out on a journey of shifting my mindset and creating space in my life for wellness & developing healthy habits. And as a result, I became more intentional about setting clear boundaries, making self- care a priority, and creating the type of life that I wanted to live.
Right now I am in a place of discovery, leaning into this new version of myself. I am learning to find balance within myself, family, and work daily. One of the biggest lessons I have learned in this season of being a mom is knowing that it is ok to be vocal about my needs with my family, colleagues, and friends. I am learning where to create space for my goals and learning when to walk away from old habits, friendships, and opportunities that no longer serve me. I am learning to place my energy in my family and not feeling guilty about taking time off. Giving myself permission to evolve and understand the value of being present in each moment.
Today, I’m passionate about working with professionals & women in creative industries who share similar experiences- who want to be well, discover their true authentic selves, personally and professionally, and manifest all of the desires in their hearts.
