Sixteen years ago, if you’d asked me what a life coach was, I wouldn’t have had an answer. I didn’t grow up knowing this profession existed. Coaching found me at a time when I was struggling to find my own direction.

Life is full. Full of love, responsibility, joy, and sometimes, overwhelming pressure. If you’re reading this, you might be standing in a beautiful but challenging season of life, one where your time and energy are constantly poured into those you care about, and there’s little left for the person in the mirror. I see you. I am you. This blog is for us.

Mother’s Day has looked different for me over the past three years. Since losing my mum, this day has become a complex mix of deep love, grief, and reflection. It’s a day that once felt filled with light and now carries a quiet shadow. But it’s also become a powerful mirror,  showing me not only what I’ve lost, but what I’ve gained in resilience, self-awareness, and connection.

We all have that voice.

I came across a TikTok the other day, one of those short clips that lingers long after the screen goes dark. The woman in the video said something that hit me right in the chest: “nostalgia connects you to who you were before the world broke you.”

Embracing Ikigai: Discovering the Joy of Being You

What started as a playful way to reconnect with self-love and raise my self-esteem turned into a journey filled with magic, synchronicity, and daily reminders that I am loved, seen, and guided.

Lately, I’ve been carrying around a kind of quiet loneliness. The kind that doesn’t always look like loneliness on the outside, but sits in the silence after group texts go unanswered, or when I realize no one checks in unless I check in first. It's the loneliness of being a fringe friend, that person who’s always around but rarely truly included. And now, in what’s supposed to be one of the most exciting seasons of my life, planning my wedding, I feel it more than ever. I thought getting engaged would be this beautiful turning point. That people would rally, be excited, want to hear every detail. But I’ve found myself hesitating to even bring it up, like I’m worried I’ll be bothering people or taking up space I’m not really “allowed” to take. It’s hard to share joy when you’re not sure anyone is really listening.

In today’s fast-paced, always-on world, many of us find ourselves at risk of burnout. With the never-ending demands of work, personal responsibilities, and the constant pressure to succeed, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly running on empty. And when burnout strikes, it often drags our self-esteem along with it, leaving us feeling less confident, overwhelmed, and questioning our worth.

In a world that often challenges our confidence and self-worth, it's easy to lose sight of who we truly are. But what if I told you that there is an ancient, powerful system within you that can help you reconnect with your inner strength and raise your self-esteem? Welcome to The Happy Chakra—your personal, transformative guide to aligning your chakras and building lasting self-esteem.

The Self-Esteem Blueprint for Lasting Confidence

In today’s digital age, it’s almost impossible to avoid social media. Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, and Twitter have become integral parts of our daily lives, offering ways to connect, share, and engage with the world. But while these platforms offer convenience and entertainment, they also come with a significant downside, particularly when it comes to our self-esteem.
