We are baaaack with another guest episode - I had the pleasure of chatting to Isabella Jansen who is a business advisor and coach.

Her entrepreneurial journey started in her early twenties, opening two massage clinics, before eventually selling her client base and launching her coaching business!

We chat about the challenges of entrepreneurship, what's involved with preparing a business for sale, leasing commercial property and the importance of having someone in your corner so that you don't go through business alone.

We each have our own paths,

our own timelines,

it's our life after all,

so we might aswell do things when we want,

and in whatever order.

This isn't usually the challenge,

The challenge is,

not knowing what you want,

not knowing what order to do it in,

but only you can answer this.

In a world full of noise,

you need to get clear with your heart,

what does it want?

If you think back to yourself in 2019, and where you wanted to be in 5 years time, is that your current reality?

All going well, if you have dedicated your life to one of growth and alignment, you should essentially be, where you once dreamed of....

I was recently reminded in a podcast about how much can change in 5 years - so I took it as an opportunity to reflect on where I was in 2019 at th young age of 22, to where I am now at 27.

I also took it as a chance to envision where I want to be when I am 32, which will happen in the blink of an eye.
So tell me, where you do you want to be in 5 years? Or should I say, who do you want to be?

There is magic in leaning back,

not in the essence of taking your foot off the gas,

just the energy,

it's different.

Less desperate,

more what will be will be.

Desperation reeks,

and the Universe can smell it.

You might tell yourself,

that you have trust,

full faith.

But do you truly believe that?

Deep down, in your being?

In order to obtain what's meant for you,

you must fully surrender.

This episode was so fun to record! I asked ChatGPT to analyse my birth chart with specific questions around my life purpose and the ideal location of where I should settle down.

Now I know ChatGPT answers based on a whole load of information and data but it's still so fun to use it as a tool in this way to help me to think about things differently.

It's answers have helped me ponder a lot and they act as good journal prompts too.

To follow what I did, head to ⁠Astroseek⁠ and input your birth information, download your chart and then upload it to ChatGPT with a prompt asking it to analyse your chart. It also helps to repeat your birth information again too!

Happy predicting / creating your future! xx

I forgot how to laugh.

To smile.

Too focused on the prize.

But what is the prize?

Money?

Fame?

Health?

Is today just a means to an end?

Or is today the prize?

The gift.

The blessing to wake up for another day.

Another day,

to laugh,

to cry,

to breathe,

to have fun.

Life is too short to be serious all the time.

Life is full of magic.

If you're willing to play.

It's weird calling it a challenge because it's just my life now - but let's recap on my 8-week challenge to lose some weight and heal my gut.

I am so proud of myself for what I achieved, the discipline and new habits I created, and the information I educated myself on to ensure I continue to nourish my body in a happy and healthy way going forward.

Food truly is medicine and I've never felt so mentally stable, and hormonally regulated in my life. Here's to forever of thriving!!!

F**k time management.

Your greatest power,

is your energy.

How you use it,

store it,

and share it.

I remember coming home from work each day,

and being exhausted.

Totally and utterly exhausted.

It felt as if my brain had been run over by a train.

As a high performer,

I was giving 110% to my work,

every single day.

And leaving nothing,

no energy,

for life.

I was living to work.

I got caught in the rat race.

Something 21 year old Felicia,

vowed she'd never do.

Go to work.

Come home.

Watch Netflix.

Eat, sleep.

Repeat.

It took five years.

To break the cycle.

Then a year healing.

2023.

The year of restoring my nervous system.

Life is too short to give away all your energy.

It's a currency.

It's yours.

And only yours.

To spend it how you wish.

It's very common to let ourselves down first before anyone else, and that's because we often believe we don't deserve the best, we put everyone before ourselves and when something has to give, it usually is the commitments we make to oneself.

In this episode, we dive deep into the science behind keeping your word, why we do it, and how it leads to a tarnished self-trust.

Then we touch on, identifying when you need tough love and when you need to be kind to yourself, because both are important! Enjoy the ep xo

Control freak.

That was my nickname growing up.

The overwhelming need to know, do and be everything.

A daughter.

The oldest.

And oldest granddaughter.

A lethal combo.

Boundaries do not exist for us.

We're told to do this and do that.

Help here.

Care here.

Always put yourself last.

Sounds like the school of people-pleasing.

I was born to be an expert people pleaser.

Until I realised that I can't serve others,

when I am not serving myself.

I can't put your oxygen mask on,

if I can't breathe.

So now it will be,

me first.

As it should have always been.

I will look after the little girl.

And then if I have capacity,

I will help you,

and more.

13/10/2024

Are you someone who lacks boundaries? Says yes to everything but doesn't actually sit back and think about whether this is something you want or have the capacity to do?

In this episode I chat to you about what having no boundaries has cost me, how I learned that I needed them, and what I started doing to implement them.

Then I chat a bit about rejection therapy which is something I have seen doing the rounds on tiktok - basically it's the idea of putting yourself in situations where you are likely to be rejected, sounds scary right?!

10/10/2024

Why does this keep happening to me?

My life is like a reality tv show.

So much drama.

There is always something to be worried about,

to be stressed about.

Do I have a part to play in this reality?

Am I a co-creator to this?

Powerful questions that can change your perception of the world.

Maybe this is happening for me.

It feels pretty s**t right now though.

But perhaps this is a lesson.

A lesson for me.

If I wasn't capable, God wouldn't have given it to me.

I am his strongest soldier.

And I shall rise from this.

Like a phoenix through the ashes.

What could you achieve in 3 months?

That's all the time we have left of this glorious year!

Time flies when you're having fun and I'm ready to wrap up 2024 with a bang!

Instead of waiting for the new year - take charge of your life NOW, you'll be amazed at what you can achieve in 3 months.

Join me in this episode as I declare what goals I am working towards.

I remember crying in the counsellors office because I hadn't created space.

I hadn't allowed any buffer room for life to happen.

I filled my life up to the brim.

With study,

and work,

and socialising,

and exercising,

and a relationship,

and I left absolutely no physical and mental space for when s**t hit the fan.

When my Papa had a stroke,

it tipped me over the edge.

When I had major family issues,

I couldn't think straight.

It was all too overwhelming.

And so I sat,

in the counsellors office.

She made me write out all my commitments

in order of priority.

And then cross out the bottom 3.

She wanted me to resign from those responsibilities immediately.

I cried so much.

The people pleaser and high performer in me was dying.

I felt like a failure.

The world was ending.

But none of it mattered.

It never did.

All the accolades, the awards, the scholarships.

None of it ever mattered.

The only thing that matters is my life - and my ability to find peace within it.

So yeah....it's been 6 weeks!

Hey guysss!!

August and September are notoriously hibernation months for me, it's the thick of Winter, no public holidays in sight, and I'm hanging on by a thread waiting for warmer days.

Well we've almost dug ourselves out of this little trough and I'm ready to feel more alive and thrive as we head into Kiwi Summer!

Time flies when you're having fun and I CANNOT BELIEVE we have three months left of 2024 - let's make them count. xx
