growling, “I. Can’t. Fucking. Do. This. Anymore.” (Yep, I’m get- ting seriously real with you here, people.) My sister begged me to go to the Doctor. I did. Thank fuck I did. He sat me down and just let me talk. He listened to every word I had to say and he told me that I sounded like a bird trapped in a cage. In that moment, I felt so heard. Truly heard. No judgment. No- body trying to fix it for me. Just someone taking time to listen, hear and TRULY understand what I was saying to them. I wasn’t crazy. Oh my God, such a relief. I was just not living in alignment with my highest purpose or pas- sion. Back then, I didn’t even realise that was ‘allowed’. My amazing doctor gave me an hour of his time that day and he didn’t even charge me for the ap- pointment. I mean, that’s amaz- ing, right?! I made a decision in that moment. I would hand in my resignation the next day. That was it. I was taking my mental and emotional health, my destiny into my own hands. I had NO idea what I was going to do and I didn’t care! All I knew was that I was in a toxic situation and I had to take respon- sibility for getting myself out of it. That very day, I went for lunch at the local Arts Centre which I fre- quented and as I walked through the door, the Box Office lady handed me an application form for a job there – SERIOUSLY!!! into place. I worked at that Arts Centre for just under 10 years before having another Universal kick up the arse to move on (that’s another story for another day). I can see the pattern of breakdown to breakthrough everywhere in my life and now, I do my best to listen before the decision gets taken out of my hands! So tell me, what are YOU waiting for?  In that moment, the pieces all fell About the Author Hey guys! I am an Emotional Freedom Whizz Kid and Success Coach.
