✨GABRIELLE | FOUNDER | YOGI | SOLO TRAVEL ✨

I feel like I’ve lived 100 lives… but I’m not done yet ✨

From performer to semi-pro poker player, mature student to event manager - I’ve worn so many hats and loved every single one.

But hovering in the background was the party girl. Don’t get me wrong, I was the life and soul 😬 The fun was real. But so was the time and money I was wasting, and that frustration was eating at me.

Looking back, I can see I was probably using alcohol to mask my social anxiety and quiet that voice telling me I wasn’t enough.

It’s actually quite funny… if you scroll back through my grid, you can tell exactly when I started to actually like who I was. Before then? Hardly any pictures of me. Go on, have a look, it’s like I was hiding from my own life.

Then life really tested me - the pandemic hit, I lost my job, and my beloved Gran passed away. But looking back I think it was exactly the wake up call I needed, after all as cheesy as it sounds we only get one shot at this beautiful, messy life- so maybe I needed to start taking that seriously…

So what happened to that girl who used to need liquid courage? She now travels solo, dances sober at raves festivals, and speaks confidently to hundreds of people. I’ve even won awards for my work.

I’m not the smartest person in the room, but I’m a dreamer AND a doer now. And I’m just getting started…

What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to do but talked yourself out of? Drop it below, let’s cheer each other on! 💪
