Next week I turn 30, and I’m so excited for this next chapter of life. I’ve got my debut book coming out in early 2026, and I’m excited to see where it takes me!
Straight from school, I did what I thought was the “right thing”; I jumped into the corporate world, trained at a Big4 firm, and at 23, I qualified as a chartered accountant.
But I was completely burned out. And it’s strange to say, but I was secretly ashamed of the career I’d built and the person l’d become. I honestly hated myself.
As a way to escape, I started my own wedding video business on the side. Surrounded by love, I saw the world in a whole new light. I’d gone from stale meeting rooms to capturing incredible, heartfelt stories, creating something beautiful that would be treasured for years to come. I realised life didn’t have to be such a grind, and there must be a life out there that I would actually be excited to live.
I kept saying, “I want to do something my grandma would be proud of”.
So I set out to find it, addicted to the idea of discovering my true self and building my dream life. The change I experienced was incredible!
At 27, I finally put the accountancy world behind me and decided to go all-in on a life I love. I built a small local community and fell in love with empowering people to design the life they actually want to live, not the one they felt pushed into.
2 years later, I’m so excited to be releasing my first book and travelling across the world hosting wellness retreats and workshops!
