Let me be honest – I’m nowhere near perfect

Today, I’m sharing the gift of honesty. I’m nowhere near having it all figured out. And I know there are others like me out there – perhaps you feel the same – searching for something more, something deeper, and wondering if you’re on the right path.

Today, I know that I am going in the right direction. My vision is clear. I am on my path.

No more bs. No more shortcuts. No more quick fixes. No more avoiding where it hurts.

Life is precious. Life is here. And I’m here to welcome it, to embrace it fully.

But I didn’t know that back then.

Let me Tell You a Story

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who dreamt of seeing the world. She had heard that other kids were not as fortunate as she was. How unfair, she thought. And decided she wanted to change that. And so she went on to study public health and found work in international development.

This girl was a younger version of myself. She had what looked like a really exciting, international life. Stamps in her passport, stories of far-off places, work that seemed meaningful. But somehow, something didn’t feel right.

Running Ahead or Drifting Off?

At some point, I went home to take a 3-month break. But this break turned into years – and it became the most transformative period of my life.

Instead of running ahead, as I had been doing since I was 15, I wanted to drift. To see where life was taking me. Like a raft on an unpredictable river, I allowed myself to float, to observe, to simply be.

Running wasn’t great, and neither was drifting. But in that space between motion and stillness, something profound began to happen.

A Chrysalis of Self-Discovery

During those years, I did deep introspection. I started yoga, took up figure drawing, and danced Tango. I learned to meditate and became a Buddhist. From the outside, it might have looked like I wasn’t doing anything. Like I was wasting time. My life no longer included exotic place names or impressive job titles.

But today? I am profoundly grateful for every moment of that journey.

I needed that time to figure things out for myself. To put together seemingly disparate pieces and create a beautifully laid-out mosaic. To find my way. To create my vision. I needed time in a chrysalis, almost cocooned away, going from an externally-oriented caterpillar to come into my full self, growing my wings, taking flight like a butterfly.

Finding My Purpose and My Authentic Path

Today, I know I was meant to do what I’m doing. As a yoga teacher and transformation guide, I’ve learned to combine knowledge and wisdom, intellect and intuition, giving meaning to my experiences and sharing my learnings internationally. I have packed together my toolkit with the most helpful tools from Yoga, Buddhist Teachings and Somatics combined, and I live what I teach.  

I know I can guide others to find their path and vision because of the richness of my own experiences and a deep, inner drive to rise together. I value the shared feelings, the recurring patterns, and a deep understanding of our common humanity. Together, we raise the energy and hold each other. There’s so much beauty in this — and such immense strength.

Are You Feeling Lost?

Do you know if you’re on your path? Do you wish you had a clear vision? Do you often feel like you’re behind? Like you should be further along? Do you feel stressed, not knowing what the next steps should be?

I’ve been there. Stuck. Confused. Wondering if I’m doing anything right. But here’s what I’ve learned: there is no universal roadmap. Your path is unique. It’s okay to feel like you haven’t figured it all out, and it’s so much easier when you have someone to guide you along. Not to mention, we’re social beings, we learn with and from each other. So, reach out, and let’s walk together.

Where Are You on Your Path?

Remember, your path is unique. Embrace the messiness, the uncertainty, and the beautiful imperfections.

The space in between.

There is never a need to be perfect or compare yourself to others. Your journey is not about reaching a perfect destination, but about growing, learning, and becoming more authentically you with each step. You’re a gift to the world exactly because you are who you are. Nothing you do or don’t do can make you any less (or more) worthy.

Are you ready to stop comparing and start living your most authentic life?—Yes?!? Yes!

My vision is what carries me forward. And I invite you to discover yours. Your very personal vision, crystal clear. I swear, it will change everything.

You Can’t Connect the Dots Looking Forward

As Steve Jobs once wisely said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.”

This is the essence of my journey. Each seemingly unrelated experience – from international development to yoga, from Tango to Buddhist practice – now makes sense. Not in the moment, but in retrospect. Those dots, scattered and uncertain, have formed a meaningful path.

Trust. Patience. Presence. These are not just words, they’re lifelines.
