A colourful character who’s spent a large chunk of life muting my brightness to fit in. 

I was an expert fitter-inner! I perfected this skill so incredibly that for 15 years others hired me as an image consultant to teach them how to fit in.

This everyday lived performance caused chronic illness… the dissonance in my body zapping my life force—simply brushing my teeth took all my energy.

To “fix” this problem I went down a decades-long self-help rabbit hole trying all the solutions that promised fitting in AND feeling well, but I kept getting sicker and feeling lonelier.

While searching outside myself for answers, I ignored the all-knowing voice inside me whispering the steps I needed to feel better—its nudges felt too terrifying! Close my business, end important relationships, stop doing all the time and spend my days lying in the grass watching the clouds go by… it was asking too much!!!

Instead, I started listening to and actioning what that little voice told me while I created scribbly art. If it said, “Splatter silver paint on the sienna brown line!”, I did it even though my mind cringed at the ugliness.

This simple scribbly practice allowed me to build trust with my inner knowing. It got easier to hear and I got more courageous. Eventually I built the courage to action the once terrifying whisperings I needed to action to feel better.

You too are living with a gold mine of answers buried inside you. Try a free deep listening circle to uncover some of these answers and build the courage you need to action them..
