There was plenty of periods of doubting myself along the way. The path to this decision was anything but smooth. There was plenty of challenges and setbacks. Through these experiences, however, I’ve grown both mentally and spiritually (and recently, quite rapidly). There were lessons, of course, that repeated themselves until I truly absorbed their wisdom. But as they say, the Universe gives its strongest warriors the hardest tests. And not without reason. I trusted this and went for it. Left my job, sold everything I owned, and with just a couple of suitcases and my partner alongside for the journey, I came to Bali.

So here I am now, in Bali. Why Bali? Aside from the obvious destination as paradise for 'seekers', in other ways it's very eye-opening. The last time I was here on holidays by myself, it was for just a week, but I had an unexpected revelation that propelled me on the spiritual path. When I got back home, I made changes to my lifestyle, diet and thought patterns. I knew I had to be back to explore more of this magic that Bali undoubtedly held. This time round, being here much longer, I've realised this island holds a unique duality. Early experiences made it clear that life wasn't going to be as straightforward or predictable as I was used to. That challenged me. It’s been a powerful reminder of how much I took for granted back home in Australia. In the first couple of months, I questioned daily what I was doing here. Doubts crept in, I questioned my choices. My thought patterns were like a yo-yo. But the special thing about Bali is that it holds an inexplicable energetic frequency of healing and connection. For every doubt, there was a revelation. I came here for peace of mind and to allow myself the opportunity to grow spiritually, and as a result, I had to address each issue and old habit as they resurfaced. The goal was to work through, clear and let go of each and every one of the old patterning from my old timeline.

Making this move has meant I've shifted timelines. I've learnt to trust that I'm exactly where I need to be in this moment in time. It’s not easy to relinquish control over what comes next, but I continue to surrender and trust that this path I'm on serves my highest good. And that's exactly where I'm at now.

I continue to build myself up and evolve spiritually. There's an inner knowing that I need to remain in this space for now. Bali is nurturing my spiritual growth. It has given me the opportunity to immerse myself in all the practices I'd always wanted to explore and achieve. These experiences keep my inner fire alive and continue to grow and expand my knowledge. As Mahatma Gandhi said, "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

Earlier this year (2025), I made the decision to resign from a corporate career in order to follow a deeper calling. I describe it as a 'calling' because it was loud, persistent and clear to me. I felt it was the right moment to give myself the space to nurture the spiritual side of my life, something I struggled to balance alongside the demands of a 9-5 job and relationships in my life. So, I created a plan in my mind and set a timeline for myself.
