From feeling stuck to feeling unstoppable; my year of transformation
As 2024 comes to a close, I can’t help but feel a mix of gratitude and pride at just how far I’ve come. This year has been nothing short of transformational – a year where I truly stepped into my power, worked through challenges and watched my dreams become reality. I wanted to share some of the big shifts I’ve experienced and hopefully inspire anyone who’s dreaming of their own transformation.
At the start of the year, I wasn’t in a great place with my health. I felt stuck in my body – unhappy, sluggish and out of alignment. I was a size UK 10, but it wasn’t really about the number. I didn’t feel good physically or emotionally. So, I made a commitment to change, starting with reaching out to a functional doctor. It was such an eye-opener. I learned how to fuel my body properly, ditch the quick fixes and really prioritise my health. Add to that regular exercise, and suddenly everything started to shift. Fast forward to now, and I’m a size UK 6 – but more importantly, I feel amazing. I have more energy, more confidence and a much deeper appreciation for what my body can do. It’s been a huge reminder that when you treat your body with care, it responds in the most incredible ways.
Money mindset was another big area I worked on this year. I’ve always had a bit of a complicated relationship with money – it’s so easy to fall into fear and scarcity thinking, right? But this year, I decided to do something about it. I took a money coaching course that completely flipped my perspective. I learned how to stop seeing money as something to stress over and start viewing it as a tool for freedom and growth. This shift changed everything. So much so, that I finally launched my own coaching website and business. It’s been a dream of mine for ages, and this year I made it happen.
While my coaching business was getting off the ground, my fragrance brand, Medeau, had an incredible year too. We got the chance to showcase our non-toxic, luxury fragrances at the Health Optimisation Summit, which was such a proud moment. And then came the cherry on top: Medeau was stocked at the absolutely stunning Lime Wood Hotel – a real “pinch me” moment. It was proof that when you put your heart into something, amazing opportunities will find you.
On a personal note, one of the highlights of this year was watching my sister get married. It was such a beautiful day, full of love and joy, and it reminded me how important it is to savour these moments and appreciate all that you have in your current life, to expand into an even greater one.
One of the things I’ve leaned into heavily this year is the power of manifestation. It’s not about sitting around wishing for things to happen – it’s about getting crystal clear on what you want, listening to your intuition and trusting that it’s on its way. This year, I manifested large sums of money (something I didn’t think I’d be saying 12 months ago!) and, even more excitingly, my dream home. It’s everything I ever wanted – a space that feels like me, full of light and calm energy. Every time I pack up a box in our current home, getting ready for the move, I’m reminded of what’s possible when you dare to dream big.
Of course, not all the work this year was external. A big part of my transformation came from doing the deep, internal work. I started working with a hypnotherapist to tackle some long-standing emotional blocks that had kept me stuck in patterns of self-doubt. It wasn’t always easy – looking inward rarely is – but the breakthroughs were worth every uncomfortable moment. I’ve come out on the other side feeling freer, lighter and so much more aligned with who I truly am.
As I step into 2025, I feel more grounded, confident and excited for the future than I’ve felt for years. If this year has shown me anything, it’s that transformation is possible for anyone who’s willing to take the leap. So, if you’re reading this and feeling stuck, know this: the life you want is closer than you think and you have it in you to make it happen.
