The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
One of my greatest challenges has been learning to believe in myself – to trust that the vision I carry is worthy, even when the path ahead isn’t clear. As a sensitive soul, stepping out into the world as a healer, teacher and author took courage. There were times of deep doubt, moments when I questioned whether I was enough, or whether anyone would understand the kind of work I was creating.
The truth is, walking a spiritual and creative path often means walking it differently. There’s no map – just faith, intuition and the willingness to keep going even when no one else can quite see what you see. I’ve had to overcome the fear of being visible, of sharing my voice and of trusting that my sensitivity – the very thing I once saw as a weakness – is actually my greatest strength.
There were also practical challenges: building something from the ground up, learning the world of publishing, technology, marketing – all while staying true to the soul of my work. I made mistakes, learned as I went and found that every setback held a quiet lesson in resilience.
But the real drive has always come from love – for what I do, for the people I serve and for the message that healing begins within. Each time I’ve faced uncertainty, I’ve come back to that truth. It’s what keeps me grounded, inspired and willing to rise again – no matter what the challenge looks like.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
Running your own business is both a gift and a growth journey. The greatest blessing for me is freedom – the ability to create work that feels deeply aligned with my soul and to express my purpose in a way that feels authentic. I get to weave my own rhythm: meditations, healing sessions, writing, designing and publishing books that truly mean something. Every day feels connected to something bigger than “work” – it’s a continuation of who I am.
But with that freedom also comes responsibility and vulnerability. It asks for constant trust – in yourself, in your vision and in the timing of things. There are days when doubt creeps in or the workload feels overwhelming and I have to return to my grounding practices and remind myself why I began.
The lines between work and life can blur easily, especially when your work comes from the heart. The key, I’ve learned, is to stay anchored – to pause, breathe and remember that success isn’t about how much you do, but how present and aligned you feel while doing it.
For better or worse, this path has shaped me in ways I never expected. It’s taught me resilience, patience and the quiet art of trusting my own energy – and that, to me, is the greatest reward of all.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
My hopes and dreams moving forward are rooted in both purpose and passion. I’ve completed the first book of seven in The Chakra Kids series – I Am Safe – Luna & Bindi the Bear Find Their Roots – and I’m now working on the remaining six books. Each one explores a different chakra through story, mindfulness and emotional awareness, helping children connect with their feelings and build confidence from the inside out.
I would love to see these books reach schools and early learning centres at a grass-roots level, supporting Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and empowering educators, parents and carers to nurture mindfulness, empathy and emotional literacy in little ones from the very beginning.
Through The Sacred Space Press, my dream is for my adult books to reach people from all walks of life – those seeking spiritual growth, emotional healing or simply a gentler way of being. I would also love to see my books available in mental health practices, holistic centres and wellbeing spaces as tools for reflection, healing and conversation – helping bridge the gap between emotional wellbeing and spiritual awareness.
And through The Sacred Space, I hope to continue offering healing circles, meditations and workshops that help people return to their inner calm and remember their own light.
Ultimately, I want my work – both written and spoken – to continue planting seeds of awareness, safety and self-belief. To remind children and adults alike that peace begins within, and from there, everything beautiful can grow.
