A Life Decision...
and a message for deep feelers like us
The other day I made a small but significant purchase - a baby pink handmade ceramic mug.
What's significant about a mug, you ask? Well, after many months of sipping my tea at sunrise out of cups and mugs that weren't mine (a ritual I do every single day), I finally got my own. Not because my house here doesn't have nice ones, they're just not *mine*.
I never meant to stay this long.
When I arrived in Bali five months ago, I thought it was a circuit breaker, a breath, a brief, beautiful chapter. I didn’t know it would become home.
I didn’t know how deeply my nervous system would recalibrate here. How much my energetic field would expand. How easily soul family and connections would gather around me.
How the magic seems to be laid out before me, like miracle pavers gently placed just for me to step upon.
There’s something about this land (and god knows many have written about it) - it's a sentient, breathing, geo-magnetic, magical cauldron of energy that needs to be FELT, lest any verbal descriptions do it a massive injustice.
The still mornings, the daily devotional offerings, the occasional traffic chaos, the thick air after rain (so much rain) - that’s been re-teaching me how to live. How to let life be nourishing. How to stop over-riding my body (I've aged backwards about 10 years, no exaggeration). And how to stop chasing clarity when my energetic field's natural state (without interference) is what creates it.
So I’ve made a big decision.
I’m staying.
Indefinitely.
My long-term visa has been purchased, and my apartment has been re-leased to my tenant for another year.
And that choice, as simple and clear as it sounds, has brought up everything.
Because when you commit to staying where you feel most alive, you also commit to leaving behind what you used to tolerate. You say no to the strategies, structures, and energies that quietly told you to keep contorting yourself to succeed.
As someone with a deeply empathic nature, I used to override myself constantly. I could feel what other people wanted, needed, or expected - and I would bend toward it.
Even in business.
I thought I was being of service.
But really, I was abandoning myself - slowly and painfully, in ways that looked generous, but drained me of power.
That’s why this week’s YouTube video is so close to my heart.
It’s called “What No One Tells Empaths About Success in Business (And Life)” - but really, it’s about this deeper truth:
Energetic mastery isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the foundation.
Especially if you’re sensitive. Especially if you lead.
And especially if you’re here to do soul work at a high level without burning yourself out.
In the video, I share what finally clicked for me and how outsourcing my authority to external actors led to one of the biggest personal crises of my life. And why no amount of strategy or 'doing the right things' could create real momentum when my energy was stifled, misaligned, and quietly suffering.
And I share one practice I still use - before every post, every call, every launch - to return to myself and amplify my field and message.
To make sure I’m speaking from truth, not urgency. From sovereignty, not co-dependency.
You can watch it here:

Whether you’re in a season of expansion, healing, or finding your way through the fog, this is your reminder: your deep-feeling nature isn’t a weakness that you need to manage or mute. It’s a compass.
But only if you take care of it.
Only if you prioritise your own field before tending to everyone else’s.
That’s the work now, for all of us who are here to lead in a new way. Not from performance. But from presence.
And if you’re on this path too - I’m so glad we’re walking together.
