Do you finally want to star as the leading lady of your own life journey?
And if so …
Do you want to kick-start a new, enlightened beginning of self-discovery and self-actualisation?
If the answer is yes, yes, and yes again, then this book is going to be your own personal cheerleading squad – full of feel-good, self- help tools to help you manage your blissful odyssey forward. In simple terms: to help you become a stronger, wiser and more confidant human in times of change
And that’s good news!
Now here’s my next question. (last one, I promise.)
What would you call this blissful state-of-being? What is the urban slang for someone who represents wisdom, confidence, and inner strength on the inside and out, after they’ve dealt with some mega-obstacles in their lives?
A few years ago, while lounging in my pool on a hot summer’s day, I asked my loving husband this very same question, while reflecting on my own successful self-worth journey with newfound wisdom, strength, and calmness. I was curious to know what was ahead for me, but I couldn’t figure out what it was. He replied that perhaps I was now on some other kind of journey, like an aftermath of some kind. Immediately then, a word flashed into my mind. ‘Goddess’.
Not to get too ‘woo-woo’, on you or anything, but this is the only word that to me describes the female version of a God, who owns her own power: enriched with virtues of wisdom and the power of truth. A kind of ancient female archetype who is known as fierce, unapologetic, and constantly re-emerging with strength: leaving her enemies far behind her. After studying the ancient goddesses all over the world, I came to this conclusion: that these deities represent aspects of our own divine feminine natures, especially through times of change.
Suddenly, the words slipped out of my mouth. I quickly replied to my partner, ‘You’re right, I’m on a goddess journey.’
Given our last two years in lockdown, there’s no doubt we’ve all collectively felt loss and grief on a scale unseen since last century. Carry that on top of life’s other unexpected outcomes that occur: such as separation, a change of relationship, a new endeavour, a financial crisis, a career pivot or otherwise … and you are going to need to draw out some steep goddess bravery to control your emotions with it all.
Let’s face it … what you can control in life – is how you respond internally and externally to it. And that means staying afloat physically, mentally, and emotionally. The truth is, it takes a lot of mind, body, and soul work to maintain your strength when a shitstorm comes your way, or when you need to scrub off the slime and grime of someone else’s toxic energy. We gals must find a way to dive right back into our swimming pool of stardust and fly back up shining like beacons with fluorescent purple wings. Truth be told, there has never been a time such as now, to stay empowered and uplifted in our everyday lives.
By sharing my own life lessons and self-worthy truths, I’m here to give you enough tools and fairy dust magic to carry a torch to light the skies for your life’s path, to start rebuilding your own brave and sparkly goddess self.
And no, this book isn’t going to dwell on Greek mythology – there are lots of psycho-babbly books on Goddess archetypes and books, tv shows, podcasts, online courses and historical academia devoted to this subject. Let’s get real: I’m not a professor, archaeologist, or archetypal psychotherapist. I am just a woman, mother, daughter, wife and friend, who has experienced many of life’s firestorms of transformative change on my own personal Odyssey: here to paying it forward to you.
I hope, by you reading this blog, that you are going to transform into your own fully-fledged, unapologetically-minded goddess. And not only that – but you’re going to learn how to become a heroine of your own real-time mythical tale.
Ready to don your glittery cape, grab your swords and armour, and begin your quest?
But wait … there’s more!
Along the way, in each post, you’ll also meet my tribe of goddess friends, itching to guide you to infinity and beyond. They are here to keep you sane, entertained (hopefully) and empowered. Hopefully, they’ll put a smile on your dial as you traverse this planet on your new Odyssey of growth.
Goddesses: may we love them, may we be them.
