Your relationship is either going to make or break your dreams…⁣
⁣
I’ve been in both toxic and healthy relationships which has allowed me to reflect on what I want and what I don’t want from a partner.⁣
⁣
One of my first relationships was extremely toxic, I was 18 at the time and I was casting for a programme called Britain’s Next Top Model. My good friend had made it through auditions the year before and convinced me to audition and I mean dragged me out of bed and drove me there. I remember feeling so nervous because my partner at the time didn’t support what I was doing and I knew if I got through I would have to navigate a difficult conversation.⁣
⁣
I auditioned and few weeks later got the email that I had got through and had to travel to London.⁣
⁣
*DREAD*⁣
⁣
I remember the response I received when I broke the news…⁣
⁣
I remember crying so much because I wanted to do it but knew the person I was with was against it.⁣
⁣
But…⁣
⁣
I did it. Luckily my determined inner voice wasn’t going to let me miss out on this opportunity.⁣
⁣
👉🏼It would of been so easy to not go to that audition that day and always think what if?(forever grateful for my friend and her encouragement🙏🏻❤️)⁣
⁣
👉🏼It would of been so easy to turn down the opportunity and never have the difficult conversation.⁣
⁣
But every time I considered taking the easy option of pleasing, I weighed it against how I would feel if I ignored my inner callings and that outweighed everything.⁣
⁣
Now? I’m in a relationships where I speak without fear, I’m supported in my goals and dreams and we work together towards a shared vision.⁣
⁣
Ask yourself…⁣
⁣
👉🏼Do I feel seen, heard and understood by my partner?⁣
👉🏼Do I feel comfortable expressing my needs with my partner?⁣
👉🏼Do I feel comfortable taking about my goals and dreams with my partner?⁣
👉🏼Does my partner support my goals and dreams?

Yesterday I took part in a Mayan Ceremony and it got me thinking about about “spiritual and religious hierarchy”.⁣
⁣
I’ve always felt in organised religious structures that I must look and act a certain way otherwise I’m bad or sinful and that binary thinking has never aligned with me. ⁣
⁣
I’m not saying the pure essence of religion preaches that because at it’s foundations I believe gods or deities were all spiritual prophets who’s source was channeled from within, something that every single one of us is capable of tuning into. ⁣
⁣
Religion has been manipulated to fit the needs of those it benefits. ⁣
⁣
I’ve personally experienced shaming attitudes to spirituality and religion.⁣
⁣
The essence of spiritually is you it’s not something that can be taken from you or gifted by one person, it isn’t what you wear, how many crystals you have or living in Costa Rica. Spirituality isn’t found outside of you it’s comes from within, it is you! ⁣
⁣
Yesterday I felt part of something that didn’t require me to be any other than myself. My group included many cultures, Indian, Persian, Mayan, Mexican, American, Canadian and British, it didn’t matter where everyone was from or what they practiced everyone was accepted. It was truly beautiful to see so many cultures come together without hierarchy. ⁣
⁣
It’s my belief that spirituality is the individual practice of showing up authentically whatever that expression looks like without conditions. ⁣
⁣
It is my purpose in life to create spaces of safety without judgment or hierarchy. To guide supportive, healing containers that allow you to see your greatness in its purest form.⁣
