I'm Burning Down My Business (Here's Why)
Have you ever achieved something substantial, only to hear that nagging whisper inside saying "this isn't enough"? That moment when you realise the success you've built—even when it's working beautifully—no longer fits who you've become?
I recently had this profound realisation about my own multi-million dollar business. Despite changing thousands of lives, winning awards, and creating beautiful retreats, I discovered I've been filtering myself, hiding parts of my authentic voice, and playing within boundaries that felt "acceptable" rather than aligned. This isn't burnout—it's evolution.
The turning point came when I noticed my most authentic moments—like a LinkedIn post that reached 1.6 million views—happened when I stopped censoring myself. When I showed up raw and honest instead of careful and curated. I've made the declaration that I would rather lose people than lose myself, and this means burning down old personas that no longer serve me.
What's emerging is a vision for a movement where women can pursue ambitious goals without sacrificing their wellbeing. Where feminine-aligned success can thrive. Where we value intuition alongside strategy. Where we can be messy, vulnerable, and seen in an era dominated by AI, perfection, and sameness. This is about creating a community of women who are done playing small, done playing by rules that never served them in the first place.
If that whisper inside you saying "I'm meant for more" has become impossible to ignore, perhaps it's time to join us. The world doesn't need more women hiding their light—it needs your full, magnificent self. Stay close as we embark on this evolution together.
