MY STORY. 2024. the year of going all in.

I’m bursting at the seams with more to tell you! It’s been a whirlwind since my last blog post update on the 21st November last year. I spoke about how I could feel big changes brewing. I knew things were changing, yet I didn’t realise how fast everything was going to shift & change.

The past few years feel like a bit of a blur. It’s hard to believe that 2 years ago I was doing the bus life thing. I’ve since sold the bus and now base myself between the farm and Adelaide… more time in Adelaide these days than the farm if I’m to be honest, and I never thought I’d say this - but I am actually LOVING my time in Adelaide. In fact I’ve been feeling the urge to move… maybe to Adelaide? But I’m not too sure. I haven’t had a strong gut feeling with where to move just yet. How lucky that I can move anywhere?! I’ve created a  lifestyle where I can work from anywhere, which was always the dream.

To get started though, I want to say ‘be careful what you wish for.’ Reason being, I started this year with a clear intention. I decided that my theme for this year is ‘all in’ and far out, it has been ALL systems go!

The cool thing about the intention of going all in, is that whenever I’m faced with a question or a decision I need to make, I now ask myself ‘what would I do if I was all in?’ and that gives me my answer… which is generally, to do the thing!

I think part of the reason for me wanting to go all in, is because of my age. I know that age is just a number, but for some reason, turning 40 next year feels like a ticking time bomb (I’m currently 38, yet already thinking about 40, haha)! I’m all for being Wildly You and living life your way, but why do I feel the pressure to own a house, be in a relationship and have a booming business by that age? I guess that would be in alignment with societal norms… which I’ve never been keen on abiding by, but for some reason the age of 40… it’s got me. Got me thinking I need to have achieved certain milestones.

Any how, that aside (I totally wasn’t expecting the age thing to come up, haha), 2024 has felt like I’ve been riding this big creative wave of projects and opportunities… and I’m still riding it. It’s like I haven’t had a break… it just keeps flowing; new programs, speaking gigs, inspiration to tap into my creativity and I’m here for it! BUT, I’m also mindful that I don’t want to fall back into old ‘workaholic’ habits. I’m all too familiar with burnout and want that to remain a thing of the past.

You may recall in my last blog post, that I made the big decision to close down the Wildly You Yoga Collective at the end of last year. Doing that has given me the space to go ‘all in’ on other ideas and projects I’ve been wanting to action for years. In fact the whole structure of my business has now shifted. It needed too. I felt like things had got really stagnant and that the business was going downhill. That was another reason I chose the intention ‘all in.’ I wanted to go all in and restructure the foundations of my business and go for it - channel my energy into those dream projects & visions and bring them to life.

2024 is looking extremely different to previous years, because I’ve set up an annual structure. I know exactly what programs and offerings I’ll be running for each month of the year. I didn’t feel like I could do this previously because I was putting most of my energy into trying to grow the Wildly You Yoga Collective… which was all year round. Because this was my focus every month, I didn’t feel like I could 100% commit to other projects I wanted to start.

I like to mix things up. I don’t like providing services that don’t have an end date (like the Wildly You Yoga Collective did). I like things to be potent. I go all in and invest all my energy into what ever I’m doing; hence why my programs/offerings can’t be open ended because that’s what leads me to burn out or creative drain, because I keep wanting to give and deliver more, and I never get that recharge period.

So… now that I have my new annual business design, where I know exactly what programs/offerings I have each month of the year, it’s gold. It’s an annual road map that I can re-run and keep tweaking and improving each year.

Another thing that’s been really present this year, is the desire to create more; as in content (photos, videos & writing). At the start of the year I kept hearing the words in my head ‘content is king. Content is king.’ Youtube, blog, social media posts. I love creating. I love words. I love taking photos. I love making videos. Yet I haven’t been doubling down on them as much as I could. I’m feeling a real desire to do so moving forward, so I will be going ‘all in’ on that.

Actually - that reminds me. I wanted to tell you that I have a bucket list for 2024. Things I want to tick off a list. I know people often have a bucket list for their lifetime, but I decided I wanted a bucket list for this year, so it gives me a deadline to complete things. I have some pretty cool and random things on that bucket list!

You’ll be able to see video footage of everything I complete off my bucket list, as I’ll be filming it all for YouTube. I haven’t posted Youtube videos for over a year, but I miss it! So staying true to my 2024 theme, I’m going ‘all in’ on Youtube again this year, and there will be an episode for each thing on my bucket list. I think this will be so fun and slightly terrifying as some of the things on my bucket list are totally out of my comfort zone.. hence why they’re on there because I keep putting them off! Will make for some entertaining viewing on YouTube, haha. More on this soon. If you’re not subscribed to my Youtube channel, make sure that you do so you don’t miss out on my videos!

Another first for this year, is the launch of a brand new program with my Naturopath & Nutritionist friend, Kasey Willson. Just this week we launched a 5 week program called ‘Create Your Calm’ which helps women balance their cortisol levels. This program booked out in record time and we are loving this program and grateful to be able to guide women through it, to help them get the transformation they’re wanting.

You may recall towards the end of last year Kasey & I also teamed up for the 30 Day Spring Kickstarter Program. That was a huge success and we’ve now called ourselves the dream team, haha and hence why we created our new program Create Your Calm. We work really well together and our mix of skills compliment each other well too. Moving forward we’ll be running the 30 Day Spring Kickstarter Program every October, and the 5 week Create Your Calm program every April. 

As for Winter… to be more specific, the month of July, I will be FINALLY launching my signature ‘Be Wildly You’ Program. This has been a long time coming. One of those passion projects that I’ve been hanging out for, and people have been requesting, yet I just haven’t had the space to get around to it… but not this year. This year I am making it a PRIORITY and can’t wait to share it with you. Think discovering your soul make up, health & wellbeing, self love, living in alignment, authenticity & confidence. A program that helps you discover yourself on a deeper level so you can step into that authentic, wild and free version of yourself with love and confidence.

I’m putting my heart and soul in this Be Wildly You group program (which I do with everything I create and share with the world), however this program is what I’m all about and has a back story. Discovering who I am at my core, building my self worth and self love, and living in alignment with my deepest desires… has been an absolute game changer for me, and I want to help other women do the same. 

This program has loads of heart & soul; it has a touch of creativity; practical activities, soulful chats, coaching… it’s the whole package. I will be offering a special early bird price (and possibly some bonuses) to people on the waitlist, so if the Be Wildly You Program is of interest to you, be sure to jump on the waitlist - you have nothing to lose by doing so, only gain.

I feel like I’m on the brink of some more big changes once again. Seriously, 2024 has been a wild ride so far and I feel like I’m only just getting started (speaking of ‘ride’, I’ll be facing one of my fears this weekend; riding a horse! It’s the first thing I’ll be ticking off my bucket list and filming for youtube! It’s sure to be a laugh - well you’ll be laughing, I’m not sure that I will be, haha!). 

As I reflect on the whirlwind of changes and growth, one thing stands out clearly: setting intentions is a game changer. Going all in this year has ignited a fire within me, guiding every decision and action with purpose and passion. It’s a reminder that we have the power to shape our lives, to choose our path boldly and authentically. So here’s to embracing change, chasing dreams, and living wildly true to ourselves. Thank you for joining me on this wild ride. Until next time, Be Wildly You.

PS. As part of my going ‘all in’ this year, I will be writing a blog post once a month… sharing my behind the scenes (these feel like journal entries for me; straight from the heart), plus a mix of educational writing to help empower you to be wildly you. If you have any particular things that you’d love me to write about, please let me know in the comments below. I’d love to hear your ideas.
