2017: My 10 Key Lessons, Learning’s & Practices From A Transformative Year (AR #75)

It is hard for me to believe that I have not recorded an Awaken Radio podcast since July 2017. Where did that year go!? For some reason, I just felt I needed a break from the show. I am not sure why, but whenever I would try to get on the podcast, I felt a big wall of resistance in my body. It felt like I needed to let her go for a little while – to allow space for her to shift and evolve, and for me to wait until the rush of creative inspiration hit.

So I was excited that as we turned the corner into 2018, I felt that familiar inner stirring of energy within me. I felt an inner pull calling me back to the podcast and my mind was suddenly filled with messages that I wanted to share with you.

And so I have followed the wave of inspiration and I am back on the show today, sharing with you my key reflections, learning’s, lessons and inner work practices from 2017.

2017 was truly a transformational year – one filled with profound opportunities for growth and letting go, as well as some major challenges that asked for big inner work. But equally it was full of many successes, incredible manifestations, beautiful opportunities, an abundance of connection and love, and a bundle of wonderful achievements.

Even though I was dealt my fair share of tough moments – moving house 4 times, grieving the loss of my father, birthing a new online course and having to take a lot of financial risks – I feel that everything that tested me, served as catalysts for the most profound growth.

At the end of the year, I found myself reflecting on all that had transpired and feeling deeply grateful for it all. I was able to see the blessing, opportunity, lesson and growth opportunity in everything that unfolded. I realised it was all necessary, both the good and the bad, in bringing me to where I needed to be.

In 2017, I feel like I expanded and grew into a woman I was deeply proud of. I showed up for my inner work. I dug deep into my wounds. I went into my discomfort and stepped outside my comfort zone. I committed whole-heartedly to what my heart desired. I took risks and acted with courage. I followed my intuition, even when I had no idea where I was going. 

I learnt so much throughout 2017, and so I simply had to record a podcast to share it with you. This episode covers 10 of the key inner work practices, mindset shifts, lifestyle changes, and spiritual principles that I applied in my life in 2017 which totally transformed both me as a woman, and my life.

I hope you enjoy the episode, and I can’t wait to bring you much more from the Awaken Radio podcast in 2018.
