My Self-Love Journey
Starting a self-love journey ins’t always easy.
It can feel vulnerable and even unattainable at times. But that’s exactly why I share my story, because none of us should have to walk this path alone.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved creating and connecting with others. But alongside that spark lived a voice of self-doubt that whispered, “You’re not good enough.” That voice held me back for years. It stopped me from creating, from showing up fully, and from truly loving myself.
In 2020, after a season of rapid weight gain, I was diagnosed with PCOS. Suddenly, I wasn’t just battling self-doubt inside, I was also struggling outwardly in a body that felt foreign to me. I hid, I retreated, and with every failed attempt at weight loss and every hurtful comment, my inner sparkle dimmed.
Then came a major life shift: immigrating to New Zealand. At first, I saw it as an escape, a chance to outrun my insecurities and start over. But the truth is, your inner voice always comes with you. With no comfort zone left to hide in, I was forced to face myself, my past trauma, and the limiting beliefs that had held me hostage for so long.
It wasn’t smooth sailing. For more than 18 months, it felt like a constant push and pull between who I wanted to be and who I believed I was. But when I was finally pushed out of my last comfort zone, my job, I had a moment of clarity. Looking in the mirror at 32 (now 33), I knew it was time to stop hiding and give myself a real chance.
That’s when my self-love journey truly began in 2025. Slowly but surely, I started rebuilding my confidence, releasing shame, and embracing who I really am. Now, my mission is simple: to create a supportive community where we can grow together. Here, your struggles are valid, your story matters, and your growth is celebrated.
Because self-love isn’t about perfection. It’s about acceptance, healing, and becoming the best version of yourself. And the best part? It’s the one journey you cannot fail. There’s no deadline, no “right way,” only progress.
So, I invite you to join me on the most important journey you’ll ever go on: your own Self-Love Journey.
Your Self-Love Journey
I know how overwhelming it can feel to begin. That’s why I’ve created a simple roadmap to help you start your own self-love journey. Think of it as a guide you can come back to anytime, a way to remind yourself that progress matters more than perfection.
You Are the Special Occasion
Learn to celebrate yourself every day. Treat your life and your moments as if they’re a highlight, because you deserve to be honored and cherished, just like a special occasion.
Progress Over Perfection
Embrace growth, not perfection. Focus on small, consistent steps and celebrate every bit of progress, because moving forward, even imperfectly, is still moving forward.
Limit-Lush You
Grow your inner strength by nurturing self-trust, positive self-talk, and kindness toward yourself. These roots become the foundation for confidence, resilience, and the life you want to create.
Calm the Chaos
Create space for peace and clarity. Clear physical clutter, calm your mind, and let go of toxic environments or relationships that don’t serve you, giving yourself the room to breathe and thrive.
Release & Renew
Heal and let go. Work through old wounds, practice forgiveness, and step forward with grace, releasing what no longer serves you and making space for renewal.
Ignite Your Spark
Explore, play, and find joy in the little things, reclaiming your identity and embracing the passions and experiences that make your heart shine.
Future Me
Take steps today that your future self will thank you for. Overcome procrastination, avoid self-sabotage, and do the hard things now so tomorrow feels easier, lighter, and more aligned with the life you want to create.
