Unexpected Interlude ❤️‍🔥 (Part 3)

Jan 03, 2025

Welcome to the third and final instalment of the trilogy recounting the wild ride that was December 2024.

In Part 1 I talked about the impact that this year had on me personally – in all the ways. The good, the challenging and the downright ugly.

In Part 2 I shared details of how I suddenly ended up spending December in hospital and the harrowing situation I was in and the miracle and care that ensued. Which is why I am here today.

This whole year was a wild ride.

But we made it.

Here we are on the last day of the year (in Australia, anyway!))

And I’m stepping into the next chapter stronger than ever.

Physically it will definitely take some time to fully recover, probably a few months – and needless to say I will be taking it super gently and slowly for the foreseeable future.

But there’s another part of me that’s sharp, motivated and rearing to go.

After this mega-tumulturous year, and moreover after this last month, and my gratitude for being alive, I can honestly say I'm bolder, more motivated and more fired up than ever. With so much conviction knowing everything over the last few years both professionally and personally has led me to this place, and i know what i’m here to do.

I’m on a mission.

I have an important message for our time.

And a ministry, which plays out mostly in the professional space, which at it’s core that is to help people see, and appreciate, how unique and full of possibility they are – and share that with the word in a way that brings joy and fulfilment to them and others.

My "vehicle" happens to be personal branding.

And it's incredibly powerful, on so many levels.

Of course it's commercially smart, because it's what enables you to become known, respected and trusted and infuential. And that has a direct and inextricable impact on your business and career success, and your professional impact.

But there are surprising benefits beyond the obvious business ones, too.

I’ve found it surprisingly effective in my own personal life, as have thousands of clients and readers and people who follow my work.

Because it’s inherently about discovering and embracing and expressing your true identity.

It’s about the power that rests behind that process.

It’s about the impact you will create around you as a result of it.

The more I go along, I realise THIS is the really important stuff.

Because what we need is within us.

So often we listen to the myriad of voices around us instead of valuing our own.

This leads to our own voice, our message, our essence and expression being buried deep beneath, unable to shine and be seen in all its glory.

When, in this time, this is exactly what the world needs to hear and see. It’s what humans crave – more than tools or technology, AI and automation, hype and hyperactivity.

We crave connection, and when we embrace our true identity, that is when we are able to connect with people.

When you harness the uniqueness, significance and intention that sits behind who you are and what you’re communicating, it does the heavy lifting in attracting the right people to your message.

I have been on a journey over the last few years discovering my identity – and I’ve witnessed the power that this has had in my marketing, on my business, and yes, even in my personal life.

And beyond the business benefits, which are manifold, the clarity and confidence that come as a result, the exciting possibilitiesthat open up, and personal fulfilment and joyin being able to do more of what lights you up, and create more impact, are life-changing,

And I’m doubling down on this in 2025.

With more ways to serve you, and support you in this area.

A whole new creative approach, that's refreshing and enjoyable

Relentlessly focused on helping you cut through the noise and get results quicker, and most importantly, with more ease.

That supports and honours your mental health, and your time, focus, relationships and energy.

That builds on solid, timeless marketing foundations, and makes use of the tools and technologies around us, without compromising on authenticity and connection.

Stay tuned for what’s coming soon (it was originally planning to be released this month but for reasons you now know, will come early in the new year).

So lots to look forward to.

if you made it this far, I want to say a really big THANK YOU and express my gratitude to YOU.

Thanks so much for being part of my email community in the last year. it’s been a wild ride. it’s been my absolute honour and privilege to be able to connect with you on this way.

Here’s to rest, recovery and new beginnings.

See you on the other side!

And Happy New Year!

💛
