Shadow Self As Visionary!

Being yourself might feel like an actual job. Everyone demands a piece of my time, intrigued by the energy I bring. That’s all well and good, but discovering my true self has been my greatest joy despite a life mission of being held back from it. And even hating caring for my internal make over once upon a time.

As a teenage creative, a family member often teased me about my "outrageous" outfits, which I cherished dearly. To me, they were expressions of creativity. I was just discovering fashion, innocently embodying my unique self.

My granny’s Singer sewing machine sat under-used and was my portal to creativity; it stirred something within me when I watched my mum sew. This awakened a dormant passion I didn’t know existed.

The image of Gail O’Neill on the cover of my first Vogue in March 1986 ignited my creative soul. My art teacher recognised this passion and encouraged me to attend art college. I did. It was an amazing experience. She said I would do something with it - my creativity.

All this creativity was initially for pleasure and posing my new zealous outfits. I did not know I was an introverted type, which wasn’t a word to describe anybody back then in the 70s and 80s and eventually, I went back into hiding, realising that people often appreciate the shadow of me more than the real me.

Think about shadows: they’re distorted, never accurately representing the true self. They exist due to light, not substance. Imagine being authentically YOU.

Shadows are elements of ourselves we conceal, thinking they aren't our best. Yet, they might actually be our greatest assets.

There are different types of shadows—highlights, cast shadows, and reflected light—and they all manifest uniquely.

Highlights illuminate our strengths, cast shadows may obscure truths, and reflected light reveals new perspectives.

If you feel stuck, I understand. If you long to harness your true self and transform shadows into your assets, I invite you to take the next step.

Join me in personalised coaching sessions where we explore the spectrum of your self and unleash your potential. Rediscover the light within your shadows and become your true self. Contact me to buy your coaching time and start your journey to authentic living. Let’s step into the light together.

Being myself is an actual job that I get to love, every single day.
