This was me after viewing an apartment in Florida…

It felt like the right choice.

But my heart knew if I took this apartment in Florida, I would be ending my relationship with my partner in New York for good.

I tried for years but ultimately, it just wasn’t right.

I masked my wants and needs by focusing on helping him fix his issues with anxiety.

I knew I wanted to be back in Florida but he couldn’t travel. That was a real breaker for me.

I had invested so much time and energy into our relationship and cared so much about him, it felt awful to choose me.

But I wasn’t happy, and somewhere along the 5.5 years I lost sight of what I even wanted.

So I decided to choose me. I decided to move into the apartment and the relationship ended.

2025 was a bit bumpy but I know it was the right thing to do, for me, and for him.

Sometimes the right choice isn’t the easy choice. But future you will thank you for it.

Allow me to introduce myself... because
WHY would you want to hang around here if you don’t even know who I am!?

It’s been a journey to get to this point, and l’ve done A LOT of work, on myself, on how I want to show up in the world, on what I want to be to other people.

And I’ll forever be working on this, but I realised more than anything I want to make an impact, I want to share what I’ve learned along the way if I can even help just one more person! And what better way to do that than through social media.

So I am still learning how to get the information out there but I am an open book. And if there is one thing I’m not afraid of, is things that push me outside of my comfort zone.

So, in the spirit of putting yourself out there, tell me something in the comments about your story? What do you want to be known for?

It’s not about reinventing yourself, it’s about rediscovering who you are.

So many times we mold ourselves to our partner and over time we become a version so far from our truth.

This process is about learning who we are when we put ourselves first.

I wish I’d known at 28…

✨ There is no such thing as failure, the lessons you learn from trying are worth 100 times more than not trying at all.

✨ It’s better to be alone than compromise your life for the wrong person. Whether you spent 1 year or 10, you still have the rest of your life ahead of you.

✨ No one is coming to save you. If you want something you have to go out and get it.

✨ The feeling of honoring yourself will be greater than you imagined.

✨ There will be hard days… but ultimately it will be worth it.

✨ Your gut feeling is always right, trust it sooner than you want to.

As someone who has started over many times, I now know, I should have been kinder to myself, I should have prioritised myself, I should have stopped waiting for things to fall into place and gone for what I wanted sooner, but the second best time to start, is now.

You know what’s crazy…?

This is what the women before us fought for.

This audio is from The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, which is an incredible show if you haven’t seen it, based in the 1950’s in NY where a lot of what we have today wasn’t even possible for women.

The level of freedom we have.

Things men have had and taken for granted for forever.

The women in my bloodline wouldn’t believe the level of freedom and autonomy we have today.

Things I will never take for granted as a woman:

- Being able to make money running my own business
- to support myself
- to have the option to live alone
- to invest my money
- to vote
- to travel the world

So if you’re watching this and you know deep down there is something you want and you’re waiting for it to happen or the right time, i need you to hear this.

Why not now?

Why not you?

Going to the gym is so much more than lifting or loosing weight.

It’s taught me strength, not just physically but mentally. Resilience and perseverance.

Most of the time the dialogue in my mind is “I can’t do this” and then immediately followed by “yes you can just keep going”.

On this day I was feeling low mood, I genuinely wanted to cry or give up.

My internal dialogue kicked in… “just really try, you can do it”

I was scared, it felt really high and I didn’t want to fall.

Thankfully my amazing coach @carlos_lyfe was there to support me but even he didn’t know the internal battle I was dealing with.

I kept trying, and once I got one, I went on to do over 40 reps that day.

Doing hard things will bring out emotions in you that are uncomfortable, but persevering, and even making it easier (adding another plate or changing to a lower bar) until you can get it, is ok!

This is transferable to a lot of things in life.

How can we make the next step easy enough that we can keep going?

Whether it’s starting to learn about the career change, educating yourself about a new business, researching the city you want to relocate to…

What is the next tiniest step you can take to keep taking action? Get the momentum going.

Follow along for more on breaking down the next step.

Starting over is scary…

But it’s the greatest honour you can give yourself.

Changing paths can be sad, scary, lonely, but it can also be exciting and beautiful. Both things can be true.

Don’t let the fear of change stop you from doing what feels right in your body.

I need this message as much as anyone right now so sharing in case it fits for you too.

Follow along as I’m unpacking what this new season looks like.

It’s the little things…

I do it for future me.

When I keep putting it off, I think about how much better it’s going to be for future me if I just get it done now.

And I love me a Sunday night when it all comes together.

No sunday scaries here, only because I built a life that’s true to what I want. One step at a time.

It took me 15 years…

And every time I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach that something just wasn’t right.

That the life I was living wasn’t where I was supposed to be.

It might look like a lot of failures…

But to me, it was a lot of lessons.

A lot of figuring out if something was for me or not.

And no amount of thinking about it would have got me the same result.

I had to try it for myself.

And I’m sure there is more to figure out, but I’m damn sure closer than I was.

And know a lot more about myself.

I think a lot of people live with complacency.

And I want you to think about it… is this the life you dreamed of, or is it the one you ended up with?

I have spent my life figuring out hard things and finding a way to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

So if you have a voice deep down, telling you this isn’t it, there is more in this life for you.

You’re in the right place.

Follow @theabihorton and we’re going to figure out the next small step, that feels safe enough to try.

1. I was envious of other people - It would start by feeling envious of something they had that I didn’t. Maybe it was an achievement, success in their business, traveling to a new country, things their partner would do for them, trying a new experience.

2. I felt bored/unfulfilled, even though my life was “fine” - my life looked good on paper, but I would battle my own mind and say things like “I should be grateful for the things I DO have.

3. I started allowing myself to imagine what my life could actually look like - what is it that WOULD make me feel fulfilled, what is the thing I feel like I want or am missing? I would daydream about my future life while I was working.

4. I worried what other people might think of me - doubts creep in, what will they say? They’re going to judge me, they’ll think it’s silly, what if they try to talk me out of it.

5. I started planning out what the first few steps would actually look like that felt safe enough to try - this is the most important part because its the bit where you actually figure out how it is possible to start taking action.

The biggest regret that older people have is not living true to themselves.

They got complacent living life for their partner or their family and allowed themselves to get to an age where what they wanted wasn’t possible anymore.

I don’t want that for you.

So if its the partner holding you back, the business you have been thinking about starting, the new city you want to relocate to, the trip you have wanted to book, what is the FIRST couple of steps you would need to take to start moving towards it.

I want you to think about it today!

Let me know in the comments what yours is and I will tell you what I would do to take the first steps.

Ever wondered what it looks like behind the scenes of your kids favourite show?

Spoiler.

It’s probably a mildly sweaty voice actor just repeating the lines multiple times and a few other people listening in sometimes thousands of miles away 😂

Probably not as glamorous as you thought, huh?

But the reality is, there is a lot of work that goes into production of these shows. Not only the years of training and expensive equipment I invested into my voice acting career but the multiple people in other crucial roles to make sure it’s the best possible outcome for your little ones!

Also, sometimes, we make mistakes… shocker… I’m human too.

I beat myself up often as a recovering perfectionist but all we can do is the best we can do.

Grateful for my director on this one having patience and flexibility.

Onto the next one. Was there anything here that surprised you?

It was all a lie…

There is no such thing as a timeline.

Your journey is your journey and every experience is you learning exactly as you are supposed to.

If you’re feeling behind, or like you’re not where you’re “supposed to be” ask yourself…

Are you taking steps in the direction to take you there?

Or are you just believing you’ll get there one day?
