Hey there, lovely souls! Grab a mug, cozy up, and let's chat about something close to my heart: following your gut. You know, that little voice inside that whispers, "Hey, listen up, this is important!"

So, picture this: it's 2023, and life throws me a couple of curveballs that completely shift my perspective. First up, my dear mom goes through a tough health scare that shakes our family to the core. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, but amidst the chaos, I find this weird sense of peace within me. Like, the universe is nudging me towards something deeper.

Then comes this game-changer: I attend Tony Robbins' Unleash Your Power Within event. Talk about a mind-blowing experience! In the midst of all this energy and transformation, I have this surreal vision of hosting holistic festivals—totally out of left field, right? At first, I'm like, "Nah, not for me," but the universe keeps tugging at my sleeve until I can't ignore it anymore.

It's like my intuition's saying, "Hey, Rach, pay attention! This is your calling." And you know what? When I finally leaned into it, it's like a whole new world opened up. I felt this fire burning inside me, this sense of purpose was unlike anything I've ever felt before. It's like I'm finally in sync with the universe, riding the same cosmic wave.

So, I decide to make some big changes. I listened to my heart and shut down my copywriting business, even though it's a scary move. And you know what? Since then, I've felt lighter, freer—like I'm finally living life on my own terms. It's a reminder that when you follow your heart, magic happens.

But let me rewind a bit and take you back to where it all began. Growing up, I was always that dreamy kid with her head in the clouds, imagining all sorts of wild possibilities. But as I got older, life started throwing some serious curveballs my way. From family struggles to personal setbacks, it felt like I was constantly fighting against the tide.

And let's not forget the endless stream of doubts and insecurities that kept creeping in. "You're not good enough," they'd whisper. "Who do you think you are, chasing after those dreams?" Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so.

But here's the thing: even in my darkest moments, there was always this tiny spark of hope flickering inside me. Call it intuition, call it divine guidance—whatever you want to call it, it was there, quietly nudging me forward.

And then came that lightbulb moment—the one that changed everything. It was like a switch flipped inside me, and suddenly, everything became crystal clear. I realized that all those doubts and fears were just illusions, holding me back from my true potential.

So, now I have made a decision: no more playing small. No more letting fear dictate my life. It is time to step into my power and embrace the journey ahead, wherever it might lead me.

Now, don't get me wrong—it won't be all rainbows and sunshine from this point on. There were still be plenty of ups and downs, moments of doubt and uncertainty. But I know every time I find myself teetering on the edge of doubt, I'll come back to that inner voice—the one that told me to keep going, to keep trusting in myself and my dreams.

And you know what? It'll pay off! The universe conspires for you to make your purpose a reality when you are in complete alignment.

So, if there's one thing I want you to take away from all this, it's this: listen to your heart. Trust your intuition. And above all, believe in yourself. Because when you do, there's no limit to what you can achieve.

Now, go out there and chase those dreams, my friend. The world is waiting for you to shine.

With love and light,

Rachel
