Unapologetically, Unconventionally, Unfiltered, and Authentically ME!

I have always felt different, ever since I was young.

I’ve always believed I was meant for “more”, whatever that may mean. For some, “more” could mean material success, spirituality, finding your purpose or financial abundance. For me, it was a combination of them all- but A LOT heavier on finding my purpose.

The truth is, the world we live in and the systems we exist within don’t seem to align with someone like me—someone who doesn’t neatly fit into a job title or stereotype.

My dream job? To help people reach their potential. To show the world that nothing is really that deep, and that no one has the right to put others down. To remind people they’re allowed to believe in themselves and in their dreams…. because what harm are they truly doing by doing so?

But I was always told, “You can’t make money from being a thoughtful, caring person.” And if I wanted to, I would need to do it through a qualification; becoming a therapist or counsellor. I have nothing but respect for those professions, but for me, those qualifications felt limiting. They box people into specific practices and frameworks that may not suit everyone. Healing should be individual. To truly help someone, you have to connect with their soul. And so, I could never authentically commit to a path that didn’t align with my own soul and purpose.

Now, after 38 years of life and especially everything I’ve been through in 2025 as the finale to my crazy life of rejection, failure, limiting beliefs, doubt so on and so forth… I can’t help but ask: 'do life experiences not matter?'

It’s exhausting to know that society only validates your ability to help others with a piece of paper.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the one helping friends, family, and colleagues to achieve their dreams; even while pushing my own further and further back. But now I know: helping others is my purpose. That is why I’m here.

For too long I’ve been limited. People may call me dramatic, say I exaggerate, or argue that nothing stopped me from stepping into who I wanted to be. But the truth is, what held me back for 38 years was the undercurrent of emotional blackmail, the negative beliefs, the doubt, and the fear that others projected onto me until they became my own.

In 2025, I finally stepped into my truth. Yes, I was met with betrayal, blame, lies, and fear. Yes, I was left isolated. But in that isolation, I discovered something beautiful: my authentic self.

Because doing life their way never brought me happiness. It only left me riddled with anxiety, physical pain, lack of ambition, and constant self-doubt. And I realised that much of the love I had received until then was conditional.

So, I asked myself: What if I finally chose to believe in me? At this point, what did I have to lose by living life for myself?

Instead of being the Apologetic, Conventional, Filtered, and Limited Me, I now step proudly into being…
