When you live life following your inner voice, many decisions might not make logical sense whatsoever (at least not right away) and often a leap of faith is asked of you. I’ve come to the point in my journey that I cannot knowingly betray this voice inside of me, no matter the discomfort. Sure I might ignore my soul’s nudges to go for a walk and instead choose to continue binge watching the new season of Stranger Things for the whole day (Ahh its sooo good and I’m desperate for Volume 2 already!!) but I cannot and would not go against my intuition for something big like my career.
What’s become very clear to me lately is that I need to completely start fresh for what I do for ‘work’. Not just what, but how I do that. Letting go of tools my mind believes I need like website, social media and really taking a bet on myself. Believing so much in the strength of my energy radiating and having the unshakeable conviction that it will reach the right people whether I have a conversation with a stranger queuing at the coffee shop, through words in an email, or stories I ramble into my phone’s voice note app that I present to you as a podcast.
My career (and all the identities, egoic attachments that came with it) are falling apart in real time as I write this and it is a rollercoaster of equal parts terrifying, exhausting and thrilling at the same time to my dear mind.
In this episode, I share:
The new desire of the ‘work’ I want to do right now.
How the decision to close down my Inner Voice website/services came.
I didn’t want to build websites anymore and how this got resolved with my existing client whose website was due to be created.
My instagram account got disabled and the new, magical off-grid ways I am finding new people/clients through.
How to observe the signs for change and let life make decisions for you.
Coming to terms with closing down my Photography business (my main source of income) and not having an alternative source of income ready yet.
