Moving Forward with Intention

It took me 10 years to move out of my old career in TV.

10 years of frustration, compromise and feeling that I wasn’t using all I had to offer.

I’m not sure what I hoped would happen.

That I might find my tribe of like minded and supportive creatives? – which I certainly had some wonderful moments of.

That a hand would descend from heaven and push me in the best direction?

I remember when I first experienced counselling I was asked how it was I wanted to live and work and after spending 10 minutes describing my ideal scenario my immediate thought was ‘well that’s NEVER going to happen’.

What I didn’t do was invest time interrogating my values, the impact I want to have, the kind of life I want to lead and what I need, creatively, spiritually and financially to support myself.

Knowing what I know now, I would engage a Coach. But of course I’m biased.
