About Connie

Hello, beautiful soul.

I have a feeling you have been guided here because you are ready to create change.

You are ready to follow your heart and fulfil your dreams. You are ready to listen to that inner whisper which is telling you that there is a bigger, brighter and better way of living. 

You are ready to learn to deeply love, value and accept who you are, so you can live as your very best self and create a life that lights you up.

But, maybe some things are getting in the way:

+ Is your critical inner voice tearing you down and continuously telling you that you're not good enough?

+ Are you living life for everyone else, feeling weighed down by should's, need to's and have to's, while ignoring what makes you happy?

+ Have you lost faith and belief in yourself, and you doubt whether your dreams and desires are actually possible?

+ Have you been struggling to love yourself, feel happy in your skin, confident, worthy, deserving and proud of who you are?

+ Are you holding back out of fear of being judged, making a mistake, failing, getting it wrong and losing the love and acceptance of others?

+ Do sneaky patterns of sabotage, procrastination and avoidance keep blocking you creating the change you are craving?

If so, you are not alone.

I know all of these patterns well. They held me back for years too.

But, I have been able to break through them, and now it is my mission to teach you how to do the same.

Hi, I'm Connie.

For the past 10 years I have been working as Life Coach, Writer, Podcast Host and Speaker, helping big-hearted women & men discover a new way of living; one that is guided by their hearts, fuelled by their intuition, and filled with love.

I am here to be your guide on the journey of turning inwards; of coming back into connection with yourself and discovering the power, wholeness and love that exists within you.

As you peel back all of the old layers of fear, limitation, lack and struggle, you will be able to step fully into your authentic self and start creating a life that you love.

I want to help you re-awaken your heart and inner wisdom, clear out fear, create a mindset that empowers you, and fully love and value yourself.

Because when you start feeling good on the inside, life begins thriving on the outside.

How I got here:

For a big chunk of my life I felt disempowered, anxious and unsure of myself. I lacked confidence. I struggled with insecurity, panic attacks and depression.

I lived in an unconscious and reactive way. It felt that life was something that just happened to me. I seemed to have little, to no power over what unfolded.

I lived my life for everyone else, constantly changing, modifying and altering myself in order to fit in, be accepted and be what I thought others wanted.

Until something happened which changed the course of my life ...

Class square

MY WAKE UP MOMENT

At age 19 I was introduced to yoga, and I was cracked open to a deeper part of myself that I never knew existed. Every week that I went to class, I felt my anxiety melt away, my racing mind become still, my heart expand and I felt a deep love for myself.

Yoga awakened something in me, and I was yearning to know more. I began devouring every book on my mother's self-help bookcase and I immersed myself in studying everything about spirituality, conscious living and self-love.

Then one day while reading a Tony Robbins book I received a vision - a vision of myself standing on stage speaking to groups of people and teaching these principles.

I felt with whole-hearted clarity that this was my purpose, but at the same time this vision terrified and overwhelmed me. So I turned my back on it, buried it deep within me, and went about living my life.

THE EXTERNAL SEARCH

At age 20 I decided to leave home and move to a new city. I was so desperate to fit into this new place and be accepted, that I turned my back on my newfound spirituality, died my hair brown and tried to re-invent myself.

Over the course of the next 7 years I became lost on a path of self-destruction and darkness. I struggled with a crippling eating disorder, anxiety and panic attacks. I partied, I took drugs, I drank until I was sick, I was promiscuous and had no respect for my body. And in my darkest moments self-harm was my coping mechanism.

I was addicted to creating external change - anything to avoid looking at myself. I changed jobs and moved homes every year, searching for something that I couldn't seem to find. I kept thinking that the next 'thing' would bring me happiness, but it just brought more emptiness. I felt lost, directionless and disconnected.

BREAKING POINT

At 27, I reached breaking point and moved back in with my parents. My life was a mess and I desperately needed to piece myself back together.

Below all the fear and chaos I could feel something was burning within me - an inner knowing that I could no longer run from. My heart was calling. My spirit was beckoning. I knew it was time to listen.

I was thousands of dollars in debt, so I accepted a job in a fearful state of needing some form of security, but I hated it. I woke up every day with dread in my stomach and a deep sadness within my heart.

Every night after work  would come home and spend the evenings on my knees crying, praying for guidance and asking for answers. I begged at the Universe for help.

THE INNER WORK

Then one day, my answer appeared. While searching the internet for something that could make me feel better, I came across a Life Coach.

I emailed her instantly, and we began working together. And now the real work began. The inner work.

It was time to look within. In my sessions with my coach, we began to peel back the layers of fear, limitation, self-loathing and inauthenticity.

I realised that up until this point, I had been dancing on the surface. I needed to dig deeper, to look within and face my shadows. I needed to love, heal and feel the parts of me I had been avoiding and finally resolve my relationship with myself.

And soon, everything began to change:

+ I re-committed to my meditation practice and discovered how to slow down and tune inwards.

+ I created a morning ritual and learnt how to consciously create my day through intentions setting and journaling.

+ I discovered how to connect with my heart energy, to prioritise joy, to follow my bliss and listen to what I loved.

+ I stopped running from my feelings and began to process the anger, sadness and pain I had been avoiding.

+ I built a relationship with my intuition and inner guidance and began following its directions.

+  I transformed my thinking and healed my patterns of control, judgment, fear, lack and limitation.

+ I started loving myself. I practised affirmations, kindness, self-compassion, acceptance and deep self-care.

+ I stopped living my life for everyone else and started saying yes to my heart-driven dreams.

+ I overhauled my diet and replaced sugar, caffeine and fast food with green juice and whole, organic produce.

+  I began writing on a blog, documenting my awakening and teaching these principles to others.

AUTHENTICITY & LIVING FROM LOVE

For the first time in my life, I felt like I was myself. I had peeled back so many layers of inauthenticity and fear that I could finally feel my heart and my truth.

At age 29, I signed up for my Life Coach training. I was terrified and had no idea how I would pay for it. I was full of self-doubt, fear of not being good enough and thoughts of why I would fail. But I took the leap anyway.

Less than a year after starting my training, I resigned from my day job and committed to following my passion full time. 7 years later, I haven't looked back.

Through committing to my inner work, following my heart, choosing love over fear, listening to my inner guidance over my limitations and showing up daily with a fierce commitment to living my highest potential, I have been able to transform my life.

And I want to help you to do the same.

These days...

I help high achieving women embody their feminine energy, deepen their self-love and step into their divine power.
