The biggest shifts don’t come from moving boxes

They come from moving your whole shelf....

I didn’t just change postcode. I changed my entire identity.

When I stepped onto this island, I knew something in me would shift. But the size of that shift?

That was always going to depend on one thing.

Just how brave I was willing to be?

And that’s the same for all of us.

Change doesn’t arrive with a neat instruction manual. It arrives with a question: how much are you really willing to let go of?

For me, it looked like swimming in the sea four times a week. Moving more, while somehow doing less.

Shedding old habits, two dress sizes, and the constant chase for perfection.

I was told recently to shine. To take centre stage in my own life. Which was not going to be an overnight pivot.

I needed to GET OUT OF MY OWN WAY !

And

I WANT TO....now, more than ever.

But for me the real personal and deeply appealing transformation would be mastering a long held habit in how I show up for myself.

Putting myself first and owning my own whole human transformation.

I had always been the opposite way round and serving others first was my always my go to.

And for many years it served me well or so I thought.

And yet the cold hard truth is "Coaching others to step up and get in alignment cannot be an outside job" especially if your business card says Alignment Consultant !

You can’t fake it. You’ve got to live it, work through it and yes, even on those dark and hard days.

Your lived experience matters so much and its wisdom and tenure that is often the only value we bring.

Do as I say and do as I do is something I truly admire and where possible, I get as close to that version of myself as humanly possible.

I purposely focus on it for selfish reasons and because I want to feel, be, own and serve myself a bigger version of life. One thats much more in alignment with Emma and really translates authentically (and of course is a lot of FUN)

Saying Yes looks like this

This Saturday as an example:

Bonchurch Presents - A local production and I said YES to a part in one of the plays.

The curtain goes up at 6pm. Four rehearsals behind me, and centre stage ahead.

And as Gary Player put it: “The more you practice, the luckier you get.”

Do I feel lucky?

Yes.

But not because of the stage lights. Because I said "why not and what if" to change.

Bonchurch Presents

So wish me LUCK for this Saturday as we are hoping for a dry and sunny evening for our open air, evening performance. Its been such fun and a great way for me to meet the new and wonderfully talented humans in Bonchurch. I have found my TRIBE ....

And that’s what I want to leave you with: Changing your postcode, your role, your relationship, your anything—is never just about the move itself.

It’s about moving your life.

So—what change is calling you?

And are you going to say yes to that call?

If you want some help answering that then you know where to find me .....
