I am guided by my values of courage, freedom, growth, adventure, compassion, kindess, playfulness, and diversity. I am motivated by vitality and joyful moments. I delight in everyday adventures, leaning into my fears to become ‘unstuck’ through both movement and stillness.

The words that come after the statement ‘I am’ are some of the most significant identity-defining concepts of our self-perception.

I used to answer this question with a list of things; things I do – my work, interests, skills. But these are all external ‘doing’ things, not internal ‘being’ things.

Who I am are the qualities and values that create the essence of who I am in the moment, and when I’m alone, in stillness.

I learn through doing and being in new experiences, places, and spaces; through exploring my curiosities and tending to my needs (once I’ve figured out what they are!). I’m delighted by fun and playfulness, and relish in solitude and rest.

I continue to explore Self in many different ways and ‘hobbies’, and in my own therapy to unpack, sort, re-organise and embody the wisdom of life’s lessons, trials and tribulations, and whimsical, magical joys.
