Samsara

She’s back! My last entry was in November 2020. What a ride I have been on since then…

I guess I should begin by mentioning that I’m no longer living in America, which I’m very happy about. Don’t get me wrong, I had an incredible time there and met some incredible people, but my work/life balance over there wasn’t healthy, and I wasn’t living my true authentic self. The moment I came back to Australia at the start of 2022, I knew this was where I was supposed to be. As I started to make my way back home, I also started to find my way back to… me. I spent the entire year rediscovering myself, understanding my shadows, and breaking old habits. I learned how to properly heal, how to be fully present, and learned more about myself in 2022 than in my entire 30 years on this planet. I couldn’t be more proud and happy of the woman I have become, and we are only getting started.

I truly feel free, wild, and my real authentic self and there’s no better feeling.

Some of my biggest achievements in the last 12 months were:

- Moving back home to Australia
- Learning about my binge eating disorder and how to overcome it
- Re-building relationships with family and friends
- Making new friends and putting my girlfriends before boys
- Discovering the world of Ayurveda and how much it has changed my life
- Incorporating yoga, meditation, and breathwork into my daily dinacharya
- Moving into my own apartment at my fav beach town
- Making my mental health and well-being my top priority
- Solo traveling and hiking and spending endless amounts of time in nature
- Finally getting back into painting and creating pieces I truly adore
- Learning to cook from scratch and eating whole plant foods instead of processed foods
- Reading copious amounts of books and journalling daily
- Taking back my power and consuming less media
- Learning to love myself in all phases and seasons of life

I think it’s important to celebrate the wins we all have, whether big or small and we should do it often.

Even though I totally neglected this website (it expired earlier this year and I wasn’t going to bother renewing it until a rush of inspiration came through last week), I believe everything happens for a reason and I’m excited to bring this space back to life and to share a little more about my healing journey. I still have a long way to go, well, we all do and we are all constantly evolving and learning… but I plan to use this space as an outlet for reflection and hope that my teachings and downloads from the universe can help whoever is reading and maybe inspire them to try something similar.

I have so much to share and I’m excited to be back on this outlet. Watch this space!

P.S. Samsara is a Sanskrit word for the repetitive cycle of death and rebirth, which I felt was fitting for the first entry for the rebirth of Stay Driven.
