When I talk about stillness, I don’t mean what you might initially think, like having to meditate for half an hour each day.

For so long, I was completely detached from myself, from what I needed and wanted. This resulted in me not making conscious decisions around my body, friendships, relationships, career, everything. It led to a life of blackout drinking, feeling stuck in a cycle of shame, and always feeling like I wanted more which got me looking for more in all the wrong places.

This week is a major turning point in my life. I’m 36 weeks pregnant, and yesterday, I left my freelancing work for the next four months so that I can welcome our little person into the world in the coming weeks, concentrate on my family, and delve deeper into my creative work as a coach.

As children we’re innately curious, asking questions, exploring, uninhibited by societal expectations. However, the older we get, the more we lose touch with the beautiful intrigue we had for the world when we were young. But I believe that we can reconnect with this part of ourselves…

Throughout my life, I’ve felt conflicted with my identity as a woman. Not in terms of my gender identity, but all of the additional stuff that comes with presenting as a woman in the world. I’ve always struggled with the rules and expectations that are so intrinsically linked to womanhood, making it a complex and burdensome identity to navigate.

I don’t think self-discovery ever ends, and that’s the way that life keeps us on our toes. However, in 2018, some really fundamental things happened that set me on the path to where I am now.
