As our timelines converge.
Our origin stories awaken.
You and I,
We’re not meeting for the first time.
We are meeting again.
Across lifetimes.
Across thresholds.
Across wreckage and rebirth.
Honouring the moments that shaped us
In ways that ordinary language cannot hold.
I see you, my kindred.
And I know you see me too.
The search to find my Calling began the night I died.
Not a physical death
- Although, close.
Almost.
A World Shattering Impact.
As fractured bone exploded and blood spilled forth
My identity was destroyed and I was reborn.
Four storey descent.
50 foot straight drop that should have been the climatic end of my story -
and
yet
I was caught.
By The Universe.
By A Miracle.
As Earth’s gravity collided with destiny,
It became the catalyst for my life-long journey to fulfil the work I was born to do.
My beginning wasn’t peaceful or beautiful.
It was a violent entrance into a blazing dawn.
In the aftermath
Of Chaos
In the stillness
Of Suffering
In the void
Between Worlds -
I experienced a profound moment of AWAKENING.
Some might call it destiny.
Some might call it fate.
Some might call it the shock of a life-changing trauma.
But for me?
It was my first initiation
Into remembering why I’m here.
I know what it feels like to have this overwhelming feeling that you’re meant for something more.
Only to realise no one else can hold the depth of what you’ve lived through or understand the expanse of what you’re being called to create.
Because adversity-awakened warriors like you and I - we’re not looking to own a business, be self-employed or advance our careers.
We’re seeking the deeply meaningful and joy-filled work that makes sense of who we are as human beings.
Beyond passion or purpose and greater than our ‘zone of genius’. It’s our life’s work.
Our calling.
Our true legacy.
Our mark upon this world and how we’ll be remembered - Once our time comes.
It can be incredibly lonely walking this path.
As much as friends and family do their best to help and professionals provide expert advice - often none of it can feel right - because others can’t understand what it means to be ‘awakened by adversity’ unless they’ve lived through it themselves.
The Truth Is -
After all the suffering, the surviving and the healing
I just really needed someone who truly understood me and what I’d experienced - to help me figure out what I was meant to do with my life. Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that I had to become the person I was looking for.
If you’re willing to bear witness.
I'd like to take you on a journey into my initiation, rite of passage and evolution to become a Life's Calling Alchemist. Three arcs of adversity, awakening and deepening that led me to realise — it's time to reimagine everything.
Not to share my story but to help you sense whether we’re meant to walk this path together and if so, to know that no matter the journey that brought you here - your future’s in safe hands.
I will never know - If the man who drugged me
Will ever regret the pain he caused. I do know, he had no control over how I chose to respond. I decided my darkest moment would become my motivation to create a brighter future for my self and the world.
But first I had to let go - Surrender to the Unknown
My future, my hopes, my dreams. A free fall into oblivion. Complete acceptance of whatever came next, even if the cost was my life.
Permanently changed - Paralysed on impact
As my spine shattered so did my life. A complete death of the self. Mystical experience birthed in waves of immersive pain. I emerged a Seeker,
Searching for something deeply known that I could not name.
Nobody told me - Success would be my downfall.
I worked hard, made all the right moves and sought advice from brilliant experts to build two successful businesses. Truth was, I’d got it all wrong. Years of my time, money & energy wasted - before hitting burnout - to realise it.
To the outside world - I had it all figured out
Thriving business consultancy and thriving creative practice. Fellowships. Awards. University Qualifications. International Exhibitions. Waymarkers of success that blinded me to the truth. Why did I feel like I was dying inside?
Worse - I felt my life was a lie
Silenced. I tried to hide spiritual trauma. A baptism of fire into an alternate version of reality. Psychic attack and torture. To be taken seriously, fear and shame made me deny -
The most courageous, feminine and sacred parts of my identity.
I lost everything - I’d been taught was important.
After burnout came the breakdown and when the pain became too much - I almost lost the most precious thing I own, my life.
A dark place - That’s open to all of us.
A destination I never thought I’d visit, until I stepped into the abyss. No longer able to avoid my shadows - I leaned into the lessons I’d been too afraid to face.
I became curious - What went so wrong?
Truth is, we’re all caught in the eye of the storm. Well-intentioned misdirection by advisors, shouldering the weight of other people’s expectations, stuck in outdated ways of working - most of us feel forced to conform.
It’s time to reimagine everything.
Work shouldn’t be
hard work.
We
Stand tall.
We
Rise strong.
Carried on
Wings of solid silver and gold
Cast from the battle scars,
Of every life we’ve lived
And each life story we own.
We have experienced
A thousand lives.
Died a thousand times.
We Are ETERNITY
Reborn in another form.
And no matter,
The cost,
The pain -
The core of our Being
Will be back for more.
On The Other Side
Of This Rite Of Passage Waits -
Everything you have the potential to become.
I know, this sounds BIG so let me explain what that meant for me.
Not through the daily activities of everyday life but the parts of my humanity that were allowed to emerge - once I figured out my calling and did the ‘important work’ - to transform my darkest moments into the fire to confidently burn everything down and start again.

I am a …
Wild Woman
Who refuses to conform to the rules and expectations of ‘others’.
Wisdom Keeper
Who sees the world differently to the views that many ‘gurus’ promote.
Wayfinder
Who doesn’t waste her time walking the well-trodden trails that most ‘advisors’ provide.
Wordsmith
Who rewrote the story of her life by transmuting her fear and shame, so that she can confidently share her truth - in all of its glory and all of its pain.
Parts of my self that were once suppressed,
Now able to flourish.

Guided by my Calling -
I consciously choose to create a rich, meaningful and joy filled life - every single day. A life that my younger self lying paralysed in a hospital bed, could never imagine was available to her.
Having walked the path of the Life’s Calling Alchemist for over 20 years and figured out the meaning of my life - the hard way. One thing I can tell you with certainty:
This journey isn’t about ‘reinvention’ it’s about Evolution.
