Loving being back in the kitchen 🦋💃 Do you love cooking?

Taking that first step can be the hardest.🤸‍♀️ All the doubts surface. The negative mental chatter as to why you can't, shouldn't, not good enough, skilled enough ramps up. 🤔

It will find any excuse. Create obstacles to test your resolve.

But if you don't you'll never know. You won't experience change, expansion and growth.

It takes courage to develop your confidence muscle, because each time you take another step in faith your fears resurface. 👏

However, this time round you know how to handle them. You have the tools to support you.

And you begin to enjoy the climb.

To help you along the way, I've created a one on one Unfold Your Confidence package.
If this sings to you and the time feels right, particularly as we are ending not only a year but also a decade, check out the link in my bio. @unfoldyourfreedom.

It would be a privilege and an honour to take that step with you.

Love the end of the year. So much to reflect on.

I love anticipating what the new year will bring for me. There have also been times when I gladly closed the book on a year trusting the next one will be better.

One thing I do know is creating a ritual of closing to welcome in the new is important. And this time is is also welcoming in a new decade.

It's important to look at what you gained. What can you learn from. What can you leave behind. What can you replicate. And what were you proud of.
Sometimes we experience huge hurdles we have to overcome. That is to be celebrated.
Why not start here by commenting and letting us know what you achieved or overcame this year you didn't expect to? No matter how small.
Now that is deciding to take power of what you have control over!! If you want to see what I do, click on the link in my bio. There is also a guided meditation. @unfoldyourfreedom

Happiness is off the Richter scale at the moment as today I celebrate with my partner 13 years in Darlington, in the hills of Perth.

This was the best move for me to find peace, love, joy and happiness in my life with him.

And 11 years since the accident. Both of which have truly made me the person I am today - a stronger, kinder, compassionate, more confident and loving person.

I’m also feeling a sense of freedom, I never thought I would experience in my life.

There is a silver lining in everything, even when you cannot see it - I thought I would never leave the city or pull through the physical and emotional pain.

And ..... It''s not only about the big things in life.

We are also celebrating the small things, such as our first ever wisteria bloom after 7 years. Our buddha in our garden to remind us about serenity.

We are loving watching our garden grow full of green goodness. And hot chillies for Willem (they can never be hot enough for him!) The magnificence of the magnolias and their scent.

And in my business, I am celebrating the creation of my Unfold Your Confidence one on one package.

It is a reflection of where I am now in life and how I can be of service to you. So many of us don't feel fully confident in who we are.

Being fully confident in who you are IS possible.

Loved being interviewed by these gorgeous girls. 💥EPISODE #21 IS HERE💥
Why do we not talk about Menopause?

And when we do, it’s all the fear and drudgery of it that never leaves us feeling empowered to be a female or to look forward to aging with grace and wisdom.

Chantal Vanderhaeghen chatted to us today about the truth about menopause and debunking the myths and fear around the ‘crone’ as an ugly, jealous malicious archetype that is so personified by the wicked stepmother and evil witches of folklore and fairytales.

Here we had 3 generations chatting about the power of sharing their stories, and listening to the wisdom of their elders. We chatted about; 👉Deconstruct the fear of aging
👉Dropping the shame around menopause
👉The fear of becoming invisible as we age
👉Why we focus on only the negative aspects of this transition more than puberty and motherhood.
👉How the beauty industry depends upon us fearing the Crone.
👉Stepping into the Crone with a sense of empowerment, embracing our intuition, wisdom, and experiences.

Who is Chantal, Anyway?
Chantal Vanderhaeghen is a Confidence Mentor who guides women to harness their inner wisdom. Combining a rich life experience with decades of learning and practicing the healing arts. Chantal connects the threads of life that brought you here - where you are now and takes you to where you want to be. Confidently You.

What a great quote and a timely reminder that being in that space in between is both scary and exciting as I get ready to launch my one on one package this week.

This is when you know what you really want. To trust deeply in what you are doing. 👏

And remain committed to what you are doing, despite your mind chatter screaming for you to stop, go back, you aren't enough.

It is a time of inspiration as you connect more deeply to your inner essence, Divinity and inner knowing.💃 It shows you another level of yourself you didn't know you had.🙌 Tell me what this looks like for you. I know I've been taken out of my comfort zone these last couple of weeks and being tested.🤸‍♀️ Powerful as well as vulnerable making. 🤗

Initially, these words felt heavy. Felt wrong and negative.

Now, I see them differently. It means that instead of pretending, denying and numbing your feelings, you are feeling them.

You are able to name them. Be with them, despite the discomfort and pain.

It's going to another level of trust that you know this, too, shall pass. And there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I needed to read this as my body is triggering the memory of the trauma I experienced this week 11 years ago.

In one way, it has taken me by surprise. On the other, I know it's taking me to deeper depths of healing and releasing.

I trust this gives you hope when you are hurting. You are not alone. 🤗🌺

At some point in our lives, we experience a time of feeling unsure and uncertain.

Something may have happened that has thrown us into chaos. We no longer know who we are.🤔 We feel lost and confused. Our self-confidence has disappeared into the ether.

This can trigger unexpected emotions and shame.

Who am I? What has happened? And these feeling can linger for a long time, even when you start to feel you are back on track again.

This is where I step in with a guiding hand. I've been there, too, and still can be.🙌 Creating this beautiful package has also triggered my confidence for me to work through.🤫 And I'm unfolding in ways I didn't expect. I work on myself as I work with you.💃 If this sings to you, check out the link in my bio. And if you want a 15-minute obligation-free chat, make a time that suits you. @unfoldyourfreedom

This way we can iron out any concerns and help you step over the line which ironically will take some confidence on your behalf. 🤗
