Happy June my beautiful friends.
Picking a guiding star is like choosing your personal hero, someone whose awesomeness you want to channel. They light up your path, helping you tackle life’s curveballs while keeping your eyes on the prize.
My guiding star? The divine and dazzling goddess Freyja!
She’s a powerhouse in Norse mythology, rocking the realms of love, beauty, fertility, and even war, with a touch of gold and magic sparkle. Plus, she’s got a mysterious side, guiding half of the fallen warriors to her enchanted fields of Folkvang. Sister to the god Freyr and daughter of sea god Njörðr, Freyja is also part of the earth-loving, witchy Vanir group.
Now, let’s dive into what makes Freyja shine:
Connections:
Freyja is like the Norse version of Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, but she’s also got a warrior spirit.
Symbols:
She’s got a thing for cats, pigs, and her blingy necklace, Brisingamen.
Her ride? A cat-drawn chariot, and she’s got a pig buddy.
Powers:
A magic maestro, Freyja wields seiðr to peek into the future or tweak it a bit, and she can bless or block fertility.
Legacy:
Freyja was adored across Scandinavia, Iceland, and the Germanic lands, though she ruffled some feathers with Christian missionaries who dubbed her the “Queen of Witches.”
June has burst onto the scene, and it’s time for my biannual personal tune-up!
Every six months, I take a deep dive into my trusty value compass to steer decisions in my personal and business life.
Values are like your life’s GPS, pointing you to what truly matters. When you’re cruising along with your values, everything feels zen and aligned.
But veer off course, and you’ll be in a bumper car of inner turmoil!
Some moments can be frustrating. Especially when you are in the flow and connected.
I had one of those distractions this week. But instead of letting it get me down, I paused, breathed, and chose to see things differently and try again. Not perfectly. Not effortlessly. Just with love and trust.
You are meant to be famous.
But not in the way the world used to define it.
Fame now means being visible in your own truth, being known for your light, and showing up for your purpose, on your terms.
Whether that’s a business, a platform, a healing gift, a transformation you’re sharing, or simply living with full authenticity.
…the vision is alive, but the wait may be testing your faith.
And if you’re moving through life’s curveballs, or just life’s not going to plan.
a reminder that what’s keeping you stuck might be your own thoughts, fears, or old stories.
there may be outside noise, drama, or distractions calling you away from your path.
Tune it all out and return to your focus.
Are you letting the fear of what others think silence your voice?
Have you distanced yourself from your own emotions or dreams to stay “safe”?
Is a part of you still looking for permission or validation outside yourself?
These shadows aren’t here to shame you, they’re here to free you.
To help you see what’s standing between you and the version of you that already exists.
The one who’s ready to rise, speak, share, and be recognized.
I see you, I’m right there too. And I am choosing to keep showing up, because that’s where the real magic lives.
You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re just being shaped. The world is getting ready to see you, but first you have to see yourself.
Sometimes I ponder the quirky roles I get to strut in everyone else’s epic tales!
I’m a terrible person in some people’s narratives and a Godsend in others.
And none of it has to do with the person I truly am. The lens that others view you through is coloured by their upbringing, beliefs, and individual experiences. Some people see your bright personality as endearing and others see it as annoying.
Let me spill the beans on my top 5 values so you can see if we’re a match made in work heaven!
If you’re curious about discovering your own values and how they can steer your life decisions, hit me up for a chat!
My top values:
- **Health**: With good health, I feel unstoppable! Both mentally and physically fit, I’m ready to conquer the world!
- **Peace**: After years of rollercoaster rides, I crave a serene day where I can soak up the calm and quiet. Inner peace is my happy place.
- **Financial Stability**: I prefer my bills to be as predictable as Monday mornings. Knowing my financial ducks are in a row keeps me at ease, which is why I still hang onto my gig while dabbling in coaching, writing and online course and membership programs and tutorials and template creating.
- **Growth**: I’m all about that self-improvement life! Whether it’s spiritual, intellectual, or personal growth, I’m constantly leveling up.
- **Freedom**: I thought this would top my list because feeling free is my jam! I treasure financial independence and being the captain of my own ship, doing what I want, when I want.
Do these values strike a chord with you?
I align my decisions with these north stars and always aim for the next level.
My love for all things good-for-you sparked The Gut Academy, where I pack jars with scrumptious veggies, positive vibes, and a whole lotta gratitude. Meanwhile, Shades of Magic is my love letter to my 18-year-old self, my amazing son Thierry, and all the other cool kids out there who deserve the great relationships I want for them.
It’s a wild ride through multiple universes, exploring the power of parallel worlds.
Sure, these two projects might seem lightyears apart, but they both share my mission to create something that’s not only fun but also makes a real difference.
Are you ready to be your authentic self? Join me on this journey, and let’s make the most of every moment.
