Episode Details

Sometimes life asks you to make a decision that feels both terrifying and completely right at the same time.

Trigger warning: This episode mentions domestic violence. Please take care of yourself, and skip this one if it feels triggering.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing what happened after I spoke at an International Women’s Day event in Melbourne and the realisation that followed.

Standing on that stage, sharing my story of domestic violence and survival, something shifted in me. For the first time in a long time, I felt completely aligned with the work I was doing and the impact I wanted to have.

And it made me realise something hard.

I’ve spent the last five years helping build other people’s dreams through my work as an online business manager. Work I’m proud of. Work I’m good at.

But something inside me is asking for more.

So I made a decision that honestly scares me.

I’m stepping away from the business I built so I can figure out what comes next.

In this episode, I talk about trusting intuition, following the pull toward purpose, and allowing yourself to change direction even when you don’t have the answers yet.

Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is start again.

In this episode, I chat about:

• Speaking at an International Women’s Day event and sharing my domestic violence story
• Why domestic violence impacts all of us, even if we’ve never experienced it directly
• Why creating spaces for women to share their voices matters so deeply to me and this mission at Life After I Left
• The moment I realised I wanted more from my life and work
• The Instagram announcement about my business that blew up
• Trusting intuition when the next step isn’t clear and following something unknown
• Choosing purpose and impact over playing it safe

Thank you for being here, for listening, and for being part of this community. There is so much more to come, and I’m grateful you’re here for the journey.
