My Story
Hi I'm Renee,
I started my business in 2021 after experiencing the most difficult period in my life the year before. I was trying to find myself and purpose in my life after going through my relationship separation after 15 years and co-parenting our son when he was only 2.
During the early stages of it all I struggled to cope with the pain, sadness, loss, heartache, loneliness and anxiety as I greived the loss of time with the two loves of my life.
I wasn’t aware at the time that it was a grieving process and I certainly didn’t know how to identify the emotions I was experiencing let alone deal with them. So I turned to what I knew best to numb and distract – Alcohol.
For a whole year I was going through the motions and using alcohol to numb it all away – not wanting to accept this as my new reality. You don’t have a child going into it thinking you will only see them for half their life and I honestly struggled to come to terms with this and was desperate for it to not be this way.
There were lots of moments where I had to be strong for my son while he was crying, screaming his lungs out for me, not wanting to leave me during handovers (so many moments that were painful and traumatic for all three of us to navigate).
I wanted to hold it together for him and stay positive but when he wasn’t with me I retreated to alcohol and netflix so I didn’t have to feel. It got to the point where I was drinking nearly every night (even when I had him although it was less excessive). Most nights it wasn’t one or two glasses, it was one or two bottles of wine, half a bottle of vodka or gin, 1.75L of hard alcoholic ginger beer – you get the picture…
It got to the point where I looked down the path of my life where it was headed if I kept doing what I was doing and I didn’t like what I saw. After trying to make it work again and realising that our relationship was over I thought to myself I won’t survive this again if I keep doing what I am doing.
So 2021 was the year it all changed. I stopped drinking alcohol for the first 12 weeks of the year and exercised 5 days a week, then I did another 12 week period and severely reduced the alcohol I consumed outside of those 24 weeks. (I’m a bit of an all or nothing kind of girl).
I also decided that life was too short to not live it exactly the way you want and I was going to take this as an opportunity to work on myself.
It didn’t all just miraculously change at once. I still experienced the sadness, pain & heartache. I still felt lonely, lost and anxious. My self belief, confidence and worth were at an all time low and there were lots of moments of questioning who I was.
I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason and while I couldn’t see it at the beginning I know that this all led me to where I am today.
I started replacing netflix with podcasts and audiobooks. I enrolled in (a few too many some still uncompleted but all having their purpose) online courses trying to find my passion and purpose in the time I was alone.
I went on a journey of self-discovery and healing and made so many small changes during that year which have all added up to some massive changes in what my life looks like today.
Early in the year I enrolled in an online course creator course to create your own online course. I got massive imposter syndrome and I experienced a lot of self doubt – questioning
Do I really have what it takes to help other people?
Who am I to be in this space, who is going to want MY help?
What do I even know and how can I help other people?
And a lot of it was driven by fear – the fear of rejection, the fear of failing, the fear of judgement, the fear of not being good enough and the fear of not being loved. And I stopped that course.
At the time I also discovered coaching & NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and an incredible community (The Coaching Masters).
I thought that’s exactly what I want to do – Cue Self Doubt, imposter Syndrome, fear all of which kept me stuck from moving forward at this point.
A couple of incomplete online courses later, leaning into the idea of starting a couple Network marketing business and googling “How to make money online” way too many times I eventually found my way back to coaching.
During 2021 the work I did on myself allowed me to build the belief and confidence to start my coaching accreditation and the work I did in the coaching accreditation sky rocketed my mindset, my beliefs, my confidence which is everything I needed back at the start of my journey.
And it also gave me the ability to help other women to do this as well.
It’s now my mission to lead a freedom mindset movement to empower women across the globe to create inner freedom, find their passion, step into their purpose and live a life of freedom and fulfilment.
To re-discover the core of who they truely are, coming back to love, compassion and kindness for self.
To create the emotional strength and resillience to move through any obstacle and not only just live but truely thrive.
To free their mind from the limitations we place on ourselves and the external constraints from those around us and society so they can step into alignment with their true selves.
To step into unstoppable belief within and create the confidence to go after their true dreams and desires whether that is creating or elevating their business or finding inner freedom and fulfilment.
