WHAT DID 2023 TEACH YOU?

It taught me that moving overseas can create new opportunities, and with this it encourages self-discovery. It delivered the beautiful coaching community - the planet I’ve been searching for. A world full of courage, curiosity, vulnerability, acceptance and support. For this I am eternally grateful.

It showed me that my imperfect self is enough. That although I moved to a new country with no friends, this didn’t mean I’d be alone. That some sports are enjoyable to watch in person – thank you LA Lakers. It made me fully embrace being different to others. That volunteering at beach cleans is extremely rewarding.

That I can survive in a country which doesn’t stock Quorn vegetarian sausages! That often in life just listening is enough. That although it's a privilege, being a landlord is problematic.

That saying no, is as powerful as saying yes. That tripping over a forklift truck at my age really hurts. That I don’t have to hit a sales target to feel like a success. That dancing in a colourful dress at a music festival brings me immense joy.
