The Inner Work Behind Lasting Love: My Story of Growth and Healing
My journey, my why, and the heart and vision behind this work.
When I was 18, I left home to explore the world.
I wasn’t just looking for adventure – I was searching for something deeper.
A sense of truth, of belonging.
A place where I could feel at home in myself.
That journey took me from the outback of Australia to the depths of the Amazon jungle, from the vibrant chaos of India to the ancient lands of the Middle East, and across Europe, America, and beyond.
I lived simply, traveled light, and let Life be my greatest teacher. 🍃
During this time, I became a certified yoga teacher, studied meditation, busked for cash, and hitchhiked with nothing but trust and a guitar.
I spent weeks at a time living in the wild, letting Mother Nature remind me how to feel safe in the world again as I reconnected to something primal, raw, and true within myself.
I sat with shamans and indigenous elders, curious to learn about the old ways of what it means to be human on this planet…
And through countless plant medicine ceremonies, I met myself again and again – the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the broken.
These experiences cracked me open and showed me the parts of myself I was resisting as I faced my shadows, my wounds, and the ways I had hurt and been hurt in love.
For years, I was caught in the battle of the sexes.
I studied seduction to feel powerful and used men to get back at how I felt they had used me. 💔
Over my 7 years of travelling as a strong, worldly, single woman I had learned to become fiercely independent.
Though underneath it all, I was still yearning for something deeper…
I fell in love. I fell out of love. I chased love. I renounced love. I confused lust for love. I ignored love for lust. Sometimes I broke hearts. Other times my heart got broken. Still, I soldiered on, seeking a loving connection that could weather my storm…
Slowly, piece by piece, I began to heal.
I started to see men differently – not as adversaries, but as allies – as I finally let go of the battle that had kept me stuck.
At 25, I came home to Australia.
I studied life coaching, dove headfirst into personal development, and eventually met Joe.
Though I still had much to learn about lasting love, I committed to the journey.
I started taking copious notes, capturing every insight, every lesson…
And slowly, I began to share what I knew.
Our relationship hasn’t been perfect, but it’s been real, committed, and extraordinary.
Through it, I’ve learned so much about what it takes to build a secure, thriving partnership – and I’ve made it my mission to help others do the same.
TBH, coaching felt terrifying at first… 🙈
Holding space for people’s deepest struggles felt like a huge responsibility – one I’ve always taken seriously.
But I kept showing up, kept sharing, and soon, my clients began to thrive.
Many have since married, had children, and created the kind of love they once doubted was possible! 🤩
This is why this work is so deeply personal to me.
It’s the culmination of everything I’ve lived, learned, and healed.
As the great poet Rumi once said, “We’re all just walking each other home.”
And this is my way of walking you home – to yourself, to love, to a life where you feel truly connected and free.
Because when you have a secure, loving relationship, you can turn your heart and energy towards achieving other goals.
You live fully. You love deeply. You give back in ways that make a difference.
And when you love well, you don’t just change your life – you change future generations.
You show your children what it means to be loved, seen, and supported.
You help break cycles of pain and create new cycles of love.
Because when we stop fighting to be loved, we can start living for something greater.
